As a walk-in patient to TV Hospital ER with excruciating back pain which was not being relieved by oxycontin I was forced to wait for several hours to be seen although there were only 3 other people in the waiting room. My pain was so great that I couldn't sit and standing was so painful that as I stood leaning on my cane there were tears flowing down my cheeks.
Once I got in to see the doctor, relief came fairly quickly after an x-ray disclosed a major spinal injury.
My next visit, in an ambulance, got fairly quick treatment. It was a life threatening emergency.
I've been admitted twice and the nurses were quite good.
I came away from my last admission with the best cardiologist and pulmonoligist I could hope for as my new physicians in these specialties.
