Oh and there's fecal matter on the floor in my ER room.

I will NEVER use TV Hospital again.

I am private pay.
I assume the CT was for stroke? That is why they did it right away (within 1 hour is our standard). You can be assured that if your CT showed a blockage you would have been given TPA pronto. My guess is that your CT was negative and thus it was not urgent. Priorities rule the ER - that's just the way it is. Private pay has nothing to do with it.
