*RANT*
So last night I had left work early to take my Fiance to the ER, he was complaining of Chest pains, hard time breathing, blurred vision, numbness/tingling in his arms/hands.
We got there at 10pm, Checked in then waited for the Triage to take him in to take his vitals and stuff. They didn't take him back till 10:20p. I didn't go with him for that but they had him in there for about 40 mins. When he came out he said they did an EKG, drew blood and took his Vitals. They sent us over to registry where then they took him back for a chest X-Ray. He came back out from that really quick, we finished registering, then sat down in the waiting area.
Well we didn't taken back to an actual room until 3:30am. Then it took 20 mins for a Physicians Assistant to come back and ask us what was going on. She said she wanted to draw more blood to recheck his heart enzymes and also wanted to give him a shot for the pain. Well we waited all the way up until 5am when we said enough was enough and said we wanted to leave.
My mom had our Daughter, we were both exhausted we just wanted to get the hell out of there and go home. The PA came in with his discharge papers and said that from the initial tests they took when we got there that she said it had nothing to do with his heart and that to just take Ibuprofen for the pain if it returns. When we asked her what happened that we never got anything else she said that an Urgent care patient came in they were tending to her.
IDK if they were short handed or what bc we saw allot of people there, it wasn't even that busy with people coming in so IDK what their excuse was but we were pretty pissed off to say. I'm glad everything came back normal that nothing was wrong, but we didn't need to be there waiting for 7hrs just to find that out.
*END RANT*
