And these are legitimate chest pains. Not the stupid panic attacks or drunks or drug-seekers who often do come by ambulance.<BR/><BR/>I hate it when a chest pain walks in and then bitches that we don't have valet service because parking their car and walking to the elevator is too much when they "might be having a heart attack!"

I figured I'd be waiting awhile. I think my perception of the ER is skewed in the opposite direction having most of my family as medical professionals. <BR/><BR/>The nurses and doctors were ridiculously nice and helpful, even while dealing with the most annoying woman in the bed next to me. Being pleasant, even while in pain or in an emergent situation makes everything so much better for everyone. <BR/><BR/>I am so sorry you guys have to deal with these people. I dont know anyone who goes to the ER unless a limb has been removed. We had to basically force my father to go to the ER during a heart attack. He REFUSED to go via ambulance saying it wasnt necessary. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your hard work.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17677555290950815409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206950351545432700.post-50094720020218260182007-05-27T08:33:00.000-06:002007-05-27T08:33:00.000-06:00Two things I've been known to say in such a situat...Two things I've been known to say in such a situation:<BR/><BR/>"It ain't 'first come, first served', it's WORST come, first served."<BR/><BR/>OR<BR/><BR/>"If you're well enough to bitch about the waiting time, you ain't sick enough to be in an ER."Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206950351545432700.post-23536920128383594052007-05-27T06:50:00.000-06:002007-05-27T06:50:00.000-06:00I would have smiled and suggested that she could a...I would have smiled and suggested that she could always lay on the floor if it hurt too much to sit in the chair. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
