On Thursday evening, while out with the little one I get a phone from hubby (Sp1) telling me that the nursing homecalled telling him that my grandmother (she's is in a wheelchair) clipped her foot then fell face first and that are waiting to get a ok from her doc for treatment. Then 10 minutes later he calls me back stated that they are taking her to the ER I decided to drop daughter off at the house and head to the ER.
I found her in a room and stay with her until she left the ER. The problem right now is why did she wait for over an 1 hr for the ER doc to see then wait another hour for CATscan/x-rays and then wait for the another ER doc to tell me that she broke her nose (Bone) and she had a gash that needed 5 stitches. On top of all this the EMT put the wrong size neck brace on her so she was laying there so uncomfortable keep trying to get it off but I had to keep telling she can't the doctor has to.:mutter::stressed::bang:
This started about 9:30pm Thursday til 2:30 am Friday. Why is this because some of the people were just sitting around talking but why does haveto take so long for help in the ER.

I'll be praying as well :hug:

I have no clue why they do that :\ I can understand if they're attending to others and can't get there, but if they're just sitting there talking.. Yeah. Or, if they're waiting on test results, but they can still do something in the mean time.. Like, mend to her gash you mentioned T_T

That really is annoying, when I broke my leg I was on Fast Track and I still had to wait for a while (I'm also in Canada so medicare is different here).

Went to check my grandmother but she was asleep, the swelling went down and not alot bruising on her face. Either tomorrow or Wednesday she'll get her stitches out.
