But, what got me really upset was I could've had a stroke in the waiting room, so I just got sick of sitting there and got up and told the triage nurse that if they were too busy, then I'll just drive myself to Munroe. Right away they brought me back for treatment. That was the only way I knew to make them take me... sad,huh????!!!
I am hoping the triage nurse maybe bumped you ahead-based on high bp and then anxiety about waiting (which can certainly elevate the bp). Sorry about BP being so high and glad you well now :-)
