I love working after a holiday. Why do people put things off all weekend till monday morning and then its an emergency? I always get complaints on wait times on these days. I always ask patients if they had an appoinmtent here or did they just show up in the ER? Its for you medical problem that you had for several days to weeks or years. Did you call your primary care doctor? I always say never hurt yourself or get sick on monday due to this to the patients that truely injured themselves on monday.

…”constipation X 6 months.” Anyone coming to the ER for an enema does not have a nearly high enough copay. That chief complaint should trigger a $$1000 for the expense of an MD, RN, and ER gurney rental, and the cost of an over the counter medication. Prunes anyone??

Oh man. I was in the ED as a patient myself on tuesday. Anaphylaxis is a bitch!
The VA staff were all top notch, and I am not even a veteran.

I’m surprised you just had back pain dealing with all that mess- What a hot mess!
I think you deserve like a week or month off after all that!
