Another poor American health care experience.
When it comes to health care, Republicans are well advised to wake up and smell the vomit.
I have a child who suffers from a respiratory ailment, and he had a sudden attack tonight.
First, not wanting to incur a giant insurance fee for using an after hours emergency room, we went to a walk in clinic. But the clinic closes at six, and it was now 6:14. So we drove across town to use the emergency room, since that was all that was available to us.
Flu is rampant in our city right now, and the waiting room was packed with very sick people, some of whom had told me they had been there for hours. We were forced to sit with these people (God help me if I contract this flu. It looks like a bad one).
This flu has been ramping up for many days in our town. Why the hospital can’t measure this and schedule more interns on a shift is beyond me. For what these doctors earn, you would think they would be available round the clock.
We never did see a doctor. After 3 hours of horrible waiting room television and seeing a woman vomit on the floor in front of us, we decided to take our changes at home.
