Breaking Point
So last night I ended up going to the emergency room because I was having a relentless pain in my side. The pain is near my waistline and constantly throbbing a dull and achy cry. I wanted to be to be safe rather than sorry and go have this mystery pain checked out...
Long story short, I ended up staying there aLLL night into the morning shift change and at the end of it all, they tell me that I am as healthy as an ox! Like, really?! ...clearly there's something going on here. But the staff was short and unreceptive of my need for help. I know it was an "emergency room" but who are they to basically tell me that I'm not in pain and everything is A OK??? Once again, I feel unimportant, overlooked and not valued. The Healthcare system really needs to do better.
