typette: thelilnan: gemmalosesherjelly: aglynny: True story - I busted my head open years ago and was rushed to the ER. There was one other woman sitting there with no discernible injury (I’m not saying she wasn’t injured, just that I couldn’t see) and as the nurses are rushing me in with my head profusely bleeding, you hear the woman say “I was here first, but sure, take her” and one of the nurses snapped back “Head injuries take priority!” I got rushed straight through a very busy A&E once with a suspected ruptured appendix (fortunately it hadn’t ruptured but it did need taking out) and the looks I got from people who had been waiting hours were vile. I was a child and because I wasn’t showing trauma signs they all go mad. It’s crazy. I went to my school’s clinic only twice. One was for a pretty bad bike accident and my knee was all open and bleeding. I waited for over half an hour. The second time, I had a migraine so bad I went blind in one eye. I didn’t even have to fill out paperwork, just walked right in. this is why I hate it when people bitch and moan about wait timesI twisted my wrist really badly and it was painful. But I waited 2 hours, because a boy who had just drank some sort of household cleaner came into the emergency room. If you don’t have that empathy for others, sit the fuck down anyway and trust the people who do. -- source link
