go back to the goddamn hospital u idiot. no offense but jesus...
if u had waited, you would have been seen by now. |
I was wondering how that works too. Do they give you a line number in Canadian hospials and then you just come back later?
Cuz if I leave the ER here I'm starting over at the end of the line again when I go back |

Yah, that is good advice. I don't think I would have tried to drive myself to the ER if I was bleeding out of every orifice either. |

Not true (here anyway). Arriving by ambulance she would have been triaged just the same as if she walked in. Actually, calling the ambulance would have been worse in many ways since if you arrive by ambulance the EMT cannot leave you until you're in a doctor's custody, so the EMT would have been waiting with her.
T. the good news is... if they didn't rush you right in then you're not in any immediate danger. Our triage nurses are tip top. |

| Canadian hospitals use the triage system...an ambulance does not mean you wont wait. With health care being free people go to hospitals for reasons they shouldn't...they give priorities to the patients with the most immediate needs. I've sat in the waiting room for 6 hours with a cut that requires 10 stiches...thats what you get for socialism. |

Hope she's alright, health can be a bitch.
And thinking you're going to die ing sucks. Once had that, with some sort of strange panic attack or something. Not fun. |

True... that said, you also don't go bankrupt if you have a heart attack. |

The US health care system is fantastic if you have good insurance. If I had a heart attack and spent a week in the hospital it would only cost me $100. If you don't have insurance, thats another story |
