Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Had to take Hannah to the ER tonight at our local hospital. She fell and had a huge lump/gash on the side of her head. Atleast she doesn't have a concussion and didn't need stitches. When I registered her, they asked me if Hannah had any other medical issues. I told them that she has CF. Well the registrar immediately had her in triage and in an examining room. There were a lot of people waiting and several children. I told them that I would wait our turn as long as we could stay in an examining room, as maybe she wouldn't be exposed to a whole lot more germs. The registrar told me to read the sign in the ER which stated that " Other patients, may not look as though they have something wrong with them, but could have urgent health problems that are not noticeable by just looking. " I didn't feel that bad then about being wisked into a room. However, there were a hell of a lot of people complaining. Has anyone had this experience before? What do you say to people who are rude and think that you are just cutting? I just felt crappy about the whole experience and did not open my mouth. Thanks for the help in advance.
