Have you ever been to the Emergency Room in Hospital?

Question

I spent 7 hours in the ER today :( It's a women and children's hospital so I was surrounded by lots of little babies and kids that were really ill, and it was a depressing environment to be in to be quite frank.

Have you ever been to the ER at the hospital and why?

Yes, i been to the ER many times. Yes it is sad environment
so much sickness i ask myself why God allows all this suffering.
You see so many cases, people come in throwing up, a elderly
woman lived alone and her kids didn't hear from her and she
was in the ER just horrible. I had been in the ER than admitted
last year with Lower Bowel Obstruction and Acute Gastritis
( like stomach flu) All i know is i spent the night with stomach
cramps it was horrible and than go discharge to come home
and never ate well for 2 weeks afterwards.

Yup, I've been in the ER twice before.
The first time was when I was 14 following an extremely serious motor-vehicle accident. I don't remember a thing from that visit. The second time was just this past summer.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Quite a few times. Broke my hand, had a few concussions from football, injured my shoulder playing football, broke the rib cartilage off my sternum (OUCH!) playing football (theme developing😂), 2nd visit from them not properly diagnosing the ribs the first time and I noticed a dent in my ribcage, which remains to this day🙄😒, oh, and also had to get a CAT scan on my throat when... wait for it... I hurt it playing football😂, my helmet was loose and I sandwiched a teammate in practice with another teammate so it was like hitting a wall with no give, and my hard plastic chinstrap injured the cartilage in my throat. It actually clicked for a couple of years if I swallowed spit and no food or liquid🙄 All good now though, haha. I feel like there's more, but I've forgotten🤕

brocklee · Answer

Yes, the worst time was after a bad car accident. Both of my ankles were completely broken, broken right leg, crushed ribs, broken nose and cheekbone... You would assume that would get you quicker treatment, but no. They cut my clothes off and laid a tiny washcloth over my junk and I laid on a bed in a hallway for quite a long time before the regular part of the hospital could take me.. People were disgusted by my feet as they were in a very unnatural position.. almost backwards.

Yumix · Answer

I was twice because of a tooth that fucked me over on a weekend where I couldn't to go to my normal dentist. the first time was maybe 10 years ago... I can remember that we waited for hours because there were so many people. The second time was earlier this year... I didn't find the room in the hospital, so the dentist was already waiting for me lol. Much more chill.

Other than those, I was once when I was 11 or 12 years old because I felt down the stairs pretty bad when playing at a farm with a friend.

And on my first job, on the last hour of the last day, I got hit by a sharp metal pole in my leg so I had to go too.

That's it

fauchelevent · Answer

Loads of times. Some of them were just minor things that weren't reaaaally that important but my mother is a secretary in the A&E department so we turn up and she'll get a doctor to see me in like ten minutes. Others were a little more serious, like a broken arm or foot and I got a throat infection and a chest infection at once last year and my temperature got too high and I couldn't eat or drink so and I had fits and shit so that wasn't pleasant.

Hidden_P · Answer

Yes I have for many reasons. Suspected broken back, wrist, arm, nose (separate occasions). And I had recently had an operation and was in immense pain and my hand was turning a different colour. Turned out they did the bandage too tight and cut off my circulation.

PizzaPrincess · Answer

Two or three times for seizures. My family didn't know I had epilepsy so we kept going to find out what was wrong and then figure out what to do. Stopped after then, though my dad probably still would.

BeerFarts · Answer

worldscolide · Answer

About three and a half years ago i was in the ER for my wisdom teeth. They were so badly infected that i could not open or close my mouth.. I was admitted that night, and i spent a week in ICU because it almost killed me. This is was before i had insurance so i avoided medical care like the black death.. God that sucked.

Waffles731 · Answer

Yeah, I got bit by a wild mouse I tried to save from my cat when I was six and it was like seven o'clock in the evening when it happened.
My dad ws worried about rabies.
Spent 8 hours overnight in the ER to find out that mammals that small don't trasmit rabies cause the virus lays them low EXTREMELY quickly so if the mouse actually had rabies, it wouldn't have been able to bite

I know from stories that I was in an ER because of my tonsils restricting my breathing from being swollen when I was a little tot.  But actual self memories of what I can recall? I've never been.

AustinMan · Answer

I've been to several ERs and have learned to scope out the ERs that aren't very busy unless it's a major trauma case. That'll limit how much "noise" you have to contend with.
