Here's a play by play for my ER visit. #USHealthcare
Arrived around 6:45 AM. Described problem to check in. She looked up files from earlier this week. Made me sign papers. Put a wrist band on me. Told me to wait. I wasn't bleeding and I was breathing so I didn't expect a fast entrance.

#USHealthcare #ER #ERGames 6:50 AM. Called into exam room. Explained situation to nurse. He took my blood pressure (high) and temperature (below "normal" but high for me). Said his shift ends at 7 and they like to get everyone in the system before they go. Told me to wait and left. I moved off the gurney and onto a chair to be more comfortable. Reminder here: this is not an emergency in the literal sense of the word. But 2 doctors told me to come here so here I am.
