So
let
me
start
out
by
saying,
if
this
was
my
one
and
only
visit,
this
would
be
a
1
star
review.
However
I've
had
a
few
very
good
experiences
in
non
emergent
situations,
including
the
birth
of
2
of
my
children
and
a
surgery
for
myself.
However
this
last
experience
today
in
the
emergency
room
waiting
area
was
ridiculous.
My
wife,
who
is
a
fitness
freak,
who
rarely
goes
to
the
doctor
and
hardly
ever
complains
of
ailments
was
having
some
severe
abdominal
pain.
Sure
it
doesn't
sound
like
much
but
generally
she's
a
trooper.
This
put
her
on
the
floor
crying.
So
we
went
to
hurley
to
get
her
seen.
This
was
mistake
number
1.
We
get
there
and
the
waiting
room
is
very
light
compared
to
its
normal
occupancy.
We
get
her
checked
in.
Eventually
we
get
brought
back
to
triage.
They
take
her
vitals.
She's
in
pain
the
whole
time
and
then
they
stick
back
in
the
waiting
room.
2
hours
go
by.
She
doesn't
complain.
I
can
see
the
discomfort
and
as
any
man
knows,
when
you
see
it
you
can
feel
it.
So
after
2
hours
of
this
I
go
to
the
desk
and
ask
how
long
is
the
wait
for
a
room
to
start
testing.
They
had
no
idea.
They
wouldn't
even
bother
checking.
On
top
of
this
they
stated
"that's
not
on
us"
I
assume
meaning
it's
not
their
job.
At
that
point
I
was
sure
this
was
a
mistake.
I
pulled
the
truck
up
and
we
bounced
over
to
McLaren
Lapeer.
We
were
in
immediately
and
testing
started
within
10
minutes.
The
staff
was
kinder,
and
had
way
better
bedside
manner.
We
are
waiting
on
test
now.
What
I
learned
from
this
is
that
when
it
counts
the
most
in
an
emergency
hurley
starts
to
fall
short.
If
your
not
a
trauma
victim
plan
on
a
long
wait.
To
the
staff
of
Hurley
patient
care
is
everyone's
job
in
the
Healthcare
field.
I
was
a
combat
Medic
in
the
army
and
I
worked
EMS
for
6
years
in
Flint
bringing
many
patients
to
Hurley
myself,
before
working
law
enforcement
for
7
years
after
that
even
then
my
patient
care
continued.
So
to
hear
someone
getting
paid
by
a
hospital
who
is
the
first
contact
at
the
door
say
"it's
not
on
me"
is
absolutely
incomprehensible.
It
is
on
you,
you
have
to
determine
how
serious
is
their
case
using
only
your
eyes
And
ears.
Update:
In
response
to
yours,
How
do
you
know
what
is
life-threatening
And
not
when
no
test
have
been
done
or
even
started?
Vitals
can
lie
in
regards
to
homeostasis.
