Major accident driving a bus someone pulled out in a small suv when I was going 55mph on a hwy. I was working kinda delirious adrenaline etc. I’m only one hurt, my boss drives me to urgent care I start getting dizzy they send me to hospital down road (my husband had just gotten to urgent care), proceed to be left in waiting room in unbearable pain for nearly 11 hours after accident. They CT the wrong spot and never let me lay down, and said everything was fine and gave me ibuprofen. That was two years ago. A mri and scans I got done next day showed that they must not have even checked me out. Also they jut said to put petroleum jelly on my burns on hands (I’m allergic and they didn’t even clean them or look). I’m literally hurting everyday from all the spinal injuries.

My grandma was delirious from late stage cancer, we were in the ER waiting room for about six hours when she passed out. I had to beg a nurse to come check her out and she just rolled her eyes and said she’d be fine. When I didn’t let up they sent out a doctor who just berated me for wasting his time.

When she finally did get seen she was transferred to a palliative care ward and died a few months later. Luckily she received much better treatment in her final days but that night at the ER was so unnecessarily stressful for her, no one suffering from a terminal illness should be dismissed like that.

I’m autistic and the nurses would yell at me and berate me for having a verbal shutdown (I get so anxious I lose the ability to speak)

They refuse to believe it’s a disability and tell all the other nurses I’m an unreasonable patient, so I’ve never gotten help with my heath problems due to them refusing to find a way to communicate with me.
