7:20 AM The Day Nurse comes in to take blood. She's friendly. We joke and chat about how getting old sucks. She's young and fit and I advise her to stay that way.
An X-Ray tech with a portable machine comes in as the nurse is finishing up. She takes 3 X-rays of my forefinger, including one of my whole hand. She rolls out at 7:38 AM
I wait in my chair. The monitor that I'm not plugged into shows a flat line and beeps softly every 15 seconds or so.

#USHealthcare #ER 7:50 AM: I have been in the ER exam room for a full (billable) hour. I've seen 2 nurses, a doctor, and an X-ray technician.
