BUNK. What an insult to the medical professionals in the ER rooms across America, this is BUNK.
I agree totally. If anything, you die in the ER because you’ve been waiting in line too long.
I had an MI in December of 08, had hubby take me to the nearest ER, it was full of people who were not bleeding, unconscious, etc., but most of them were either sneezing coughing or vomiting into a bag. I, on the other hand, was having a heart attack.
“Sorry, all the trauma rooms are full you will have to wait” Hubby tapped the shoulder of a lady next to him who in very broken English told him where the next closest ER was. He took me there. Campus hospital, I was taken in immediately and diagnosed within a couple of hours.
In the other place, I would have been dead on the floor. And I have EXCELLENT insurance. In Arizona.
