[Inchworm]

3. no wai!

"Jails I've Been to" took about an hour to compose :D

:hi:

[rucky]

4. Remember that Hispanic woman who died in the ER waiting room?

Harbor. Been there and it was absolutely shocking. I was in for a -er- thrombost something or other, and felt guilty for even being there, compared to the other folks waiting.

Parkland - Dallas, TX (pissed a kidney stone)

Wilson - Sidney, OH (daughter swallowed something)

[no name no slogan]

5. Sounds like when I was in Charing Cross

in '91 at the height of Thatcherism/Majorism. I crushed a finger in a workplace mishap, and there was a woman there with severe meningitis. Thankfully they saw her first, but I spent all freaking day (ten hours) in the ER, just to get an x-ray and get it fixed.

But it was no worse than some of the "top-notch" emergency room visits I've had in this country.

[skygazer]

8. I spent 8 hours at Santa Clara County

with a broken back. That was in the ER waiting room - I'm not counting after I finally saw a doctor. :eyes:

[Roon]

6. Mine

Littleton Hospital Littleton,Co
Denver General Denver, Co
Lutheran Wheatridge, Co

Lutheran is my favorite because the last couple of times when I got sick, they took me in right away and put me on oxygen. It takes them a few to find a room once they decide to admit you. But the best part? They have ROOM SERVICE and you can order food all day long and it's brought up to you. Even if you just want a coke, they'll bring it. And the people there are so nice, unlike the county hospital where they treat everyone like cattle.

[SPKrazy]

17. almost former brother in law

(sister's estranged hubby) works at DG might have worked with you there. DG is the county right?

[Roon]

19. Yes!

DG is the country hospital. I go to the ID clinic there, the best HIV care in the country. But for ER visits, I go to Lutheran.

[Deja Q]

7. No theme, but I've been to a few

Hutchinson County hospital, Hutchinson MN (8 stars out of 10)

[no name no slogan]

10. I never realized how bad Regions was

until I went to St Mary's. You can really tell Regions is an inner-city hospital after going someplace else

[skygazer]

11. All this time and I never realized that's where you are

Silly me. My daughter lives in St. Paul, got married last summer in Stillwater. Nice area. :hi:
