To the editor: A few months in the past, I acquired a name from my oncologist. “Come to the emergency room as quickly as you may. Your latest CT scan exhibits you’ve blood clots in your lungs,” she mentioned.
Pondering this was a life-threatening scenario, I rapidly packed a bag and ordered a trip to the hospital, which is greater than six miles from my dwelling. Upon my arrival, I settled down to attend. And wait. I feel I sat within the foyer a minimum of three hours earlier than a health care provider noticed me.
I used to be lastly admitted to the hospital, the place I stayed for 3 days and acquired remedy. Eric Snoey and Mark Morocco’s article resonated with me (“The emergency in emergency medication,” Could 20).
