[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 572672, member: 1514"] You know what really irks me? In some major cities, they post ER waiting times on billboards so you know basically what you are in for before you go. Why cant every hospital do that? Actually not even major cities. Jamie's city isnt a large city and his local hospital does it and their wait time is never more than 30-45 minutes. The wait time in most of the hospitals in Richmond that post the wait times are around the same time frames. I am sure that if there were disasters they might be longer. The hospitals down here? Make sure you pack a lunch and maybe a dinner...also take a good book. When Billy was in his car wreck we went to a hospital in Fayetteville because that was the closest one to where he was and we were there for over 14 hours and they didnt even take an xray. They looked at him, poked him in the shoulder a few times and wrote him a script for percocets and flexeril. Nothing more. Oh...and gave him an excuse to be out of work for the day of the accident and the next day but said he had to go in to work on that Friday which was Black Friday. I protested and said wait...you just told him he would get to feeling worse over the next five days but yet you are telling him he should go back to work in two days? And right now it is after midnight when you are discharging us so in reality we are already into Thursday which would be your day 2! They informed us that they only gave excuses to be out of work for 2 days no matter what. I said really, so if I had a heart attack or stroke I would get a note to be off work for 2 days...interesting. [/QUOTE]
