I Hate the ER.

S
SoupNazzi

Fucking hate it. Totally. Not because I am a patient, cause usually, I'm not.

No, I hate the fucking ER because usually, I am the non-patient and my wife and child are the patients. Do I blame them? No.

I hate the fucking ER because it takes FOREVER for them to get shit done it seems.

Yes, I know they are busy. Yes, I know my wife or child normally aren't priority cases.

But damn.

Today's ER visit = 7 hours

I had a gut feeling we would be heading to the ER today. We went to the family doctor first, who sent us to the ER. I had the feeling before we left home. I intended to bring some books to read with me. I forgot. ARGGGHHHH! It's times like today when I wish I had a Nintendo DS.

Fucking ER.

Othernews: I'll be de-linking most of the pictures I posted in 2006. My Photobucket account has already exceeded its bandwidth for this month. It's the 5ht of the month, and it's already exceeded. Holy shit. Yes, I have a Flickr account, but nothing beats Photobucket for ease of use.

EDIT:  Also, some book reviews I intend to try and do this week:

Guilty Pleasures - Laurell K. Hamilton (Vampires, Undead, etc...)

Storm Front - Jim Butcher (Wizards, demons, exploding hearts)

Darth Bane:  Path of Destruction - Drew Karpyshan (Star Wars.  How the one man destroyed and then re-tooled the Sith)

Monica Belluci is one who I love, she is so beautiful even with mud and dirt on her face..\r \r I finally caught the movie (french, cant remember name) where she was raped anally for 15 minutes in real time.. shocking but the rest of the movie she is very sensual and sexy.. I hope she does more US movies..

Ummm... I know what movie you're talking about. \"Irreversible\"\r \r Not sure you mean she was really anally penetrated or if you meant that the scene took place for 15 minutes in real time.\r \r I'm pretty sure she didn't have actual sex as her real-life husband played her boyfriend in that movie (Vincent Cassell).

I agree with your sentiments about the ER. We took my daughter in when she was 104 and passing out and we sat in the lobby for 4 hours. What you have to do is lie and say your kid ate some wellbutrin, they were waiting for us at the door for that one.

wow, stop the hate guys! I know what its like to wait...been the parent of a sick child myself, but come on, imagine if you had to schedule appointments for the shit you get done in an ER...wait weeks maybe, then a week for the results if your lucky ...and yes, life threatening situations get priority, even above extreme pain, and its not easy for the layman to determine whats life threatening or just horrible to experience....throwing up is NOT life threatening just for everyones future reference :P

I've had really good luck with the major insta care places in our state Soup. The longest I've ever waited was about 2 hours total for treatment and everything. Might see if you get any local recommendations for a back up, Ive definately seen our hospital er's get swamped.
