A two and a half hour wait is enough to make any man or woman forget the agony from whence they came and realize the hell they're in. After suffering nearly two weeks with chest congestion, a full blown sinus infection, and terrible coughing, I decided the medication wasn't quite enough to quell the beast that was my sickness, I headed to the ER. HGTV and my girlfriend were really the only thing that got me through the long wait. I was really frustrated when I finally saw the doctor because although he was nice, he was in and out before I could even blink. I never even got to ask a single question. I wish they would work on this. I get that you're swamped, but don't forget that we sit and wait for hours just to get a second of FaceTime and then pay thousands of dollars in bills. You don't have to set up camp, but at least take the time to let us get some questions in.
The staff here is great. The business model, not so much. Mercy care has it set up that they'll get you back quicker than most places (most of
The time) but you have to sit in the waiting room in the interim. This means that you don't get a bed in the back to rest in while you wait. You can decide whether you'd like the longer wait and s bed or somewhat shorter wait and no bed, but I just think it's weird.
