2 /5 A Margaret: Admitted to ER last night in severe pain. Staff is friendly but mostly useless. It took over an hour to be seen by a doctor, three hours before I was offered pain medication (declined), four hours before diagnostic testing was done. Left after being admitted for 5.5 hours with no answers, only fear that whatever had happened could happen again at any time. I cannot emphasize enough how SLOW the whole process was. If I had gotten the diagnostics done while I was still in pain, could we have gotten to the bottom of this? I wish I had stayed at home.
