Comment on Waiting and getting treated is better than waiting and going bankrupt
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoi dunno. last time i was waiting 12 hours in the triage area, my surgeon burst through the doors yelling at people for making me wait because he had a bed for me eleven hours ago. sometimes there’s a paperwork fuckup.

Unfortunately, you also have to advocate for yourself as a patient. Ideally you have someone trusted along that can help with that, but if you’ve been sitting there for hours, you need to find out exactly what’s going on. Especially if it is serious.
