[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 572557, member: 47"] Here in Ca I seem to be constantly visiting the ER with either SO's mom or SO himself. They log you in and you are examined in about 15 to 20 minutes IF there are no breathing/heart problems, if so you are seen immediately, If they don't deem it an actual emergency, you then go sit down again and you are actually seen in the back ER depending on whats wrong with you. Waiting for an actual bed from the ER to the hospital itself can take up to 15 hours or more. It is jammed pretty much 24 hours a day and from what I observe, with way too many people who treat it as a doctors office to avoid paying money up front - the hospital has to treat you whether you can pay or not unlike the regular docs office. Our doctor always advises us to call for an ambulance and not do a walk in, especially with their health issues, and I call our doctor when we are on our way. I don't think we have gone in as a walk in where there wasn't standing room only. Marcie [/QUOTE]
