Medical waiting rooms????


I took my 6 yr old daughter to the ER today at around 4 pm. It took us 4 1/2 hours to finally get seen. I thought maybe they were busy but when I went to the nurses station to ask they were all just sitting around chatting about there christmas and laughing.
I was pretty pissed off as were others that had been waiting.
Problem is that its not just the ER here thats like this,the clinics do the same thing and make us wait for hours for a procedure that only last 5 -10 minutes.
Why do they do this and does it happen were you live?

If you happen to work in this profession then really tell us all whats the point of treating people this way???

Nurses- too stupid to know

Doctors- too educated to care

Welcome to the medical system. The best advice I can give you is fight for your health. Seriously.

i feel sorry about that.

You should go to Dr. McCoy...

Yes. It is like that were I stay. I don't know why they waste time.
