But take these with a grain of salt - they are rolling averages to see somebody (med professional) - you will still face triage priority placement if your condition is not emergent. |
Pursuant to that... I went to the ER in Key West in 2005 (PS: don't ever go there). I waited two hours just to be triaged. I watched people with cuts & bruises being seen ahead of me. After another five hours, I went to the desk and said, "I've been waiting here for seven hours." They said, "No, you came in at noon." I said, "No, you
triaged me at noon! I came in here at 10:00." Turns out the type of x-ray I needed was not available that day, and they just let me sit there!
While having an ultrasound instead (the tech's husband was from Pittsburgh), I left my Steelers sweatshirt on a peg in the room. When I returned the next morning to get it, of course it was gonzo.
The only reason I went to the ER to begin with was because my medical insurance person told me they would not pay for a visit to KW's only urgent care center.
