Okay...I have a MAJOR rant....I was feeling really strange yesturday....chest pain and shortness of breath...went to a walk in clinc, they told me to either go to the hospital stat or they would call an ambulance for me. As much as I love making a grand enterance, I opted to drive myself. I get to the hospital, wait 1 hour to even get to triage where they check you in...they to an ECG test and tell me to wait. I waited, and I waited.....for 12 hours before I was even taken into a seperate room...then another 2 hours before all the tests were done and I got to see a doctor!!!!!!!!!! 14 hours in the hospital ER...are you kidding me?!?!?!?!!?!? There were people there with the flu and who had the sniffles...YOU DONT BELONG AT THE HOSPITAL...GO SEE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This may just be a Canadian thing as we don't have to pay to visit the hospital, but COME ON!!!!!! The woman sitting beside me in the waiting area had a seziure in her chair and they made her wait while they took those poor, deathly sick patients with the SNIFFLES ahead of her!!!!!!
