[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 167804, member: 1697"] a few words about our local ERs. I would not choose to take our dog to any, or even send my enemies there. I have such a LONG list of extreme bad experiences there.... Our ER last time I was there actually has you sing papers saying you understand they do not diagnosis there....and that that are basically just a stopgap and you need to go to your own personal doctor...they are just there to help you wait it out till your doctor can see you. and you waive responsibility on them for any error in diagnosis. and no, they seldom do any tests in our ER. So you go in, wait 8-16 hours in waiting room, then you go back from wwaitig room to sit in hall on a chair cuz even tho our hospital is relatively new, it is already far too small, and you sit there another 2-3 hours and eventually, if you are lucky, someone comes along and maybe pops a thermometer in your face....(or your ear or armpit or whatever) and they will give you a Rx for a medication and tell you go fill it, and the Rx is for enough medications for 12 hours, and then they tell you go call your own doctor. Usually the Rx is for tylenol. and yeah, it even goes this way if you are bleeding all over their floor or if you have a wild rash.....doesn;t matter. Even if yu come in by ambulance. [/QUOTE]
