#EmergencyRoom #Hospital #Home
Real Doctors use to make House Calls. Whatever happened to that???
When I was a Kid I use to go visit patients with My Dad on his way to the hospital to see the ones there.
When the population was 150-175 million less it wasn't a bad idea.
Here in my part of FL a couple of the hospitals still have an ER room but they also have an off site 24 hr ER room miles away from the hospital. It helps cut down on the hospital ER being overwhelmed and response time.
This may be the new kind of medicine
I’m a kidney transplant recipient and former Los Angeles resident. I can attest to the 24+ hour wait times in the ER. The hospital staff, including doctors, treat patients like animals. They’re so cynical from being overworked and understaffed. I moved out of state and have great health care now but I’ll never forget how awful and inhumane LA’s health system is.
Animals? 😔
I work at one of those hospitals you’re referring to and honestly the ED is a zoo. Once patients are admitted they receive excellent care though.
My local er is mainly filled with homeless/mentally ill people looking for a place to either stay warm/get fed or looking for a bed a long term care facility.
Leading me to just go to urgent care when i have a issue and they'll send me to the hospital for admission if they need too. I started that after I went to the er and waited overnight in the waiting room with no checks after the ambulance brought me to the er. Just for the er to give me a bed for 5 hours then kick me out because "i was faking it". When i returned the next day to urgent care they sent me to the more intensive ICU department at the hospital because I was not faking it
Unbelievable. I'm glad you are ok.
Can I here we go with the stuff that might may or may not be related with covid or may or may not be related to an election season here we go let the fun begin
Did you just have a stroke, or perhaps an aneurysm? There’s definitely something malfunctioning in your brain.
The emergency departments in LA were overwhelmed years before Covid. This is honestly old news.
