The emergency room staff are indifferent. I was writhing in pain with what felt like someone stabbing me. But the duty nurse ignored me for 2 hours saying that the doctors were dealing with more "dire" cases. Eventually after drawing blood twice (1st time they "spoiled" the blood)
and claiming to have done 8 tests they said I was "dehydrated" from food poisoning and released me 4 hours later. I received a bill for $4,000 for 8 routine tests which costs only $100 or less per test at labs. I was also billed for doctor services even though I never saw a doctor!
The staff in general had a "diva" and contemptuous attitude towards other minorities it appeared.
