Ever had to go to the Emergency Room?

you okay now? what was the cause?

Yes, a few months ago when I had an allergic rash from head to toe caused by a medicine I took when I was sick. It was my idea to go and I certainly was not well. I had a fever but spent 2 hours before getting looked at. It was no fun and with a mask on.

yes. i had chest pain after having covid and i thought i was dying. turns out i wasn't dying! but i was in the er for 10 hours. they'd bring me back for something and then i'd have to go back to the waiting room, and repeat multiple times

ye when i was like 7, i slipped on a rug at home and my head bled...the family doctor couldnt stop the bleeding and i fainted in the family clinic, my dad said the ambulance came and all...no brain damage thankfully, probably fainted of shock to see all the blood, i got it stitched and went home after a day

1 day before my 9th birthday >.<

I fell while trying to do jump rope and hit my knee badly so it turned all sorts of blue and green

After an X-ray and getting cream for it the doctor only said "You can be lucky that it's not broken" and than my grandma who brought me there said "You can actually break your knee?!?!"

Oh and when I was 17 I took my grandma there cause she got a heart attack and since its harder to diagnose it on a woman than on a man it took 5 hours to even know what she was having so she could've died actually in this time. The doctor was also a butt and said she can leave to go home to pack a bag and return the next day. My grandma was confused and shook since she just got to hear she had a heart attack and that she got a 2nd one right in the minute as the doctor gave her the results of her 1st one.

After she was in the hospital for a long time and having stends (idk how to correctly spell this) put into her body for better blood-flow against more heart attacks, she felt good when she took treatments and recovered but 8 months later as she returned for a basic check up on her she had a heart attack again right in the hospital on that day. I was a bit scared since she did not come home and I worried since she did not tell me anything. I was so close to call the police to say my grandma got missing, but ya know the cops could just said it would be too early to search her since she was not lost for too long enough and I had no idea how to contact the hospital to ask if my grandma was still there. I was scared till late at night she called from the hospital to say she would only return on the next day cause they wanted to keep her to check on her.

I had a surgery for something in my stomach like at age 4

I once was on an ambulance as a kid bcs i got over excited & it was hard to brethe; was in the ER & they said i was ok?

For Christmas break for 2021, i stayed in the ER cause my appendix popped & i had surgery (so far i have had 2 surgeries done on me) and arrived home on the 23rd; the day before christmas eve!

In 2022 i went to the orthopedic ER bcs my ankle hurt & i had it chipped/broken & had it in a cast

Yeah, the last time I was there l had just shattered my elbow in an accident and was in the ER for 13 hours. They kept trying to send me home with painkillers because other people had visible cuts and bruises and needed their help more urgently...

Sorry that my bones are inside my body I guess?

5 hrs for a f*cked up muscle deep in my lowerback/pelvis area.

dood perscribed advil for that like---

I had to go *back* and then get it checked by my pcp

Yeah, I have hydrocephalus and can go years and decades completely fine and health. But when it's not fine, I end up in the ER waiting for emergency neurosurgery first thing in the morning...

The waiting room wait is usually an hr or two. But since it's not life threatening, I still have to wait until the next day for surgery.

4 ER visits that I remember... one they sent me home because the hospital didn't do neurosurgery

Yes, I had to once. A few years ago I fell down some steps at school and landed on my foot which caused a little chip on my ankle. Luckily that has been all.

Yes. I went for a terrible throat infection.

They sat me at a waiting area at the nurses station. Examined me right there for like 2 minutes, said I had strep (I didn't), gave me a shot in my ass cheek, a prescription for antibiotics, and sent home.

I was charged $2k for that.
