  I see so many post that say they are posting while waiting for hours in the ER waiting area. If you are well enough to post reviews it is possible you do not belong in an ER. It is after all an emergency room. People tend to misunderstand and abuse the purpose of emergency rooms. It takes much longer for everyone to be seen because not only do the doctors and nurses have to deal with the actual real emergencies they also have to deal with all the non-emergency patients that are there. I went to Christ Hospital and was in septic shock (a life-threatening medical emergency) from a lodged kidney stone and the triage nurse immediately sent me in because of dangerously low blood pressure. The doctors and nurses were incredible. I cannot praise the Emergency room staff and ICU staff enough. I am also very lucky they recognized the symptoms of septic shock and took immediate action. Hospitals have a triage nurse to take vitals and to see what is going on with each and every patient that walks in through the ER. Your vitals alone can tell the nurse how serious your condition is. An emergency room is under obligation to take the most critical patients first. If you walk in to an emergency room and you are not critical you need to expect to possibly wait hours depending on how many critical patients the hospital is getting during that time. You must be patient if you are not in a critical condition and want to be seen in an ER. If it is not critical it is usually best to be seen by a urgent care unit or your primary health care provider. Giving negative feedback for having to wait in the ER when the situation is not critical is not fair to the hospital.
