Seven minutes!
How about waiting 60 minutes in the waiting room to get that seven minutes. Oh, the inhumanity.
60 minutes? Try waiting two hours for a 1 minute appointment. Doctor wanted to show me some lab results, no need to undress or weigh in or anything. I was really ticked off.
What really got me was when the drug company sales rep got to see him before me. Of course she was hot but still.
I learned the hard way.
After trying to ride out what I can only describe as a horrific pain in what I thought was my stomach area, I checked myself in, for the very first time, into Johns Hopkins Emergency, here in Baltimore.
After describing the pain level as a 10 out of 10 the nurse told me to wait until my name was called. I waited close to four hours before I was asked to walk up to another part of the hospital where after scans were taken and another two hours went by, I was finally diagnosed with having a Kidney stone and then, and only then was given something (morphine) for my pain.I was then told to go home.
That almost 8 hours of torture was quickly followed by a hefty bill.
When I shared my experience with neighbors they let me on a little secret everyone in Baltimore except me , knows.
When you go to the ER, even if it's a headache....you scream and cry before you even get out of your car.....you demand a wheel chair, you can't even walk...your dieing.....Your gonna sue..... That explains why about 30 people went ahead of me and, the guess was, unlike me, most of them probably were not covered by health insurence.
I will never bad mouth a dope addict again.
