Your probably not sick if....

[TexasR.N.]

....your biggest complaint in the ER is that your bed doesn't have fitted sheets, and you are really really pi$$ed about this. Yes, another true occurrence brought to you by one of your fellow citizens.

Yeah, landed in an Ocala emergency room with my wife-she was having a miscarriage. They made us wait in the lobby while she bled.

While we were waiting at least a dozen obese black people came in and reported "upper 'respitory'" problems. They "Fast-Tracked" these sniffling losers while my wife bled and we lost our baby.

I was one of the mad ones that night, TexasRN.

On a lighter note: Dirk's avatar:

That avatar reminds me of this: Otis, the old blue dog in my avatar actually did that once when he was a pup. He jumped up on the counter (all the way!), grabbed a huge ribeye and ran off with it. When I cought up with him he started shaking it and ended up slapping my legs pretty good. That was funny.

Anyhow, though I'd share the story. The old fellow died two Christmases ago. There will never be another like him.

It was an aristocrat. The rest of us didn't know either Then to boot there were two rooms where the patients & family were laughing and having a good time.

Laughing and carrying on in the ER does not evoke much sympathy from the staff. FWIW.

i like the 911 calls for minor stomach pains, then they want to be first in line once they get to the ER just because they took, well basically a 600 dollar ambulance ride

And they were charged for the room? Hmph. Were the sheets at least a minimum 1200 thread count?

I just berated my sister earlier tonight for going to the ER because she "thought she may have twisted her ankle."
