came into the ER today being very sick. Got me back very quickly. Checked me in quickly, once I got all of this done, the Administrator came in to register me this is where I tell them I have no insurance. Well everything went south. They took an x-ray, gave me a breathing treatment. And I received a steroid shot.
Here is my symptom. Coughing up yellow and green flem. Throat swollen. Can't breathe. Congestion in upper chest cavity. Once this was determined. I got a nose and throat swab. For flu and strep. One of the Nurses try to give me a cough sourp. I had already 5old the the Doctor on duty. I had taken a 12hr. does this morning
So by this point, thank God I brought my own tissue. I would be drowning in my own mucus. I did run out so I got up to see if they had any out and there was two tissues in the box. Remember, by this point it had been 40 minutes and no one. I mean NO ONE came to check on me as me to see if I needed a blanket, pillow, more tissues, bottle of water, nothing. I was spitting in my empty box of tissues that I found in the room.
So turns out I have bronchitis. Most likely if you have yellow and green mucous the doctor will prescribe a antibiotic. I had to ask the doctor I'f she would. I had to ask for an antibiotic...WOW. Then she did.
I have been in this ER a couple of times and have never been treated as such. I thought I could come here and feel like I would be taken care of. I guess today was not the day. #SICKANDINPAIN
