I'm not negating that how you were treated was a good thing (I agree it was bad)! That said, I'd once heard that ER's (and other health-care facilities) are careful re: folks that come in with pain issues due to a FEW that troll to get pain medications. I think they are slow to act when someone does come in such as this. I too had an ER experience with T.V. hospital some years back. I was there for 4 hrs (but in a room), maybe longer....it took some time for the doctors/nurses to triage me. I eventually was admitted! I did feel they didn't believe me at first as they kept asking me what meds I was on, who my provider was and other questions along with that. I won't say my care was awful...just my pain experience was! Over-all, I thought T.V. hospital was exceptional with my time (5 days) spent there.
