It is the teacher in me, repeating again this truth about Emergency Rooms.

They triage, and I know you know that means that those with life threatening situations are seen first, such as problems with breathing, enormous blood loss, acute cardiac situations.

This is the high season in Florida, (if this happened recently) and many, many people who do not live here full time and who do not have a doctor to consult here, will go to the E.R. and to urgent care and they become very, very busy. Also a good many of us old birds are passing through the emergency room as they leave for heaven.

And still another thing. I can only guess how extreme was her pain and high your anxiety was over it. I am so sorry this happened and hope somehow the new ownership can and will see to it that the E.R. improves.

Hope she is feeling better.
