Emergency Room Visits

For me emergency room is LOOOO and i guess you know the purpose.

Oh I've seen my share of the emergency room. The last time I was in an emergency room, my daughter stuck a peanut up her nose and we couldn't get it out. Two days, an emergency room, a specialist, and an operation later, the peanut re-emerged. What an ordeal that turned out to be. I certainly don't look forward to the next emergency room visit.

yes,during my wife delivery

Yes when my brother got ill last year.

I had to go this summer for abdominal pains. I ended up having to have emergency surgery because I had a hole in my colon. It was not fun.

I've never had to go to the hospital, only the doctor when my hand got smashed between two tables thanks to a lovely man who decided it was great to swing back on his chair until he slipped and slamed the table into mine where my hand was! Apparently nothing was broken so I didn't have to go to the hospital.

LOL...I went five days a week for years...because I'm an R.N. and worked in the E.R. However, I have gone only once for myself and it was because I was 6 months pregnant and hemorrhaged. I've gone many times with my family...my husband for severe asthma attacks and a heart attack, my oldest for stitches numerous times and my youngest as he was a premie who had multiple problems that crept up for the first 4 years of his life.

I went to the ER this past spring because I had a stomach virus that went around campus. I had to get a shot in my butt to get better.

I had the enjoyment (LOL). of visiting the ER back in March when I broke my ankle and my foot in three different places. let me tell you that is an experience that I don't want again, I guess a few bad nurses ruin it for the rest of them.

Yes, a few times. For myself, and for my hubby and friends.

I went to the emergency room once when I was hit in the face with a ball. I'm thanking my lucky stars that my nose wasn't broken.

yes

I ended up with a hernia back around this time in 2001. The hospital I went to had an extra department called Urgent-Care, in which I was able to walk in without an appointment, & cheaper than the ER. Being that they had trouble tryiung to figure out what it was, I ended up sent to the ER anyway. Being that I have no medical insurance after the surgury & all, I'm still making monthly payments on the bills.

Yes, I did have to go to the emergency room once in 2002 as I was having chest pains and could hardly breathe while at work. It turned out to be I was having a panic attack. I was treated and released shortly after having some tests done.

Last Friday the 9th I (a retired RN) had a stroke in the afternoon and was taken by ambulance to the local ER. As I can remember, the staff were very pleasant in spite of its filled capacity and my going in and out of consciousness. My husband (an LPN) says we were there from 2pm until 530pm because a room was not available after preliminary tests confirmed my stroke. He said everyone there in the ER were careful transferring me to other gurneys and getting my bloodwork and xrays done. The nurses came back often to check on me. I started regaining most of my senses when the call came for me to go upstairs. The staff smiled at me as I thanked them and wavedf goodbye. Yes, ERs are expensive because they are there when you need them 24/7 unlike regular doctors. I rather pay for the expense then have to wait until a regular appointment time when it might be too late!
