Bad service in the ER?

traumawolfe posts a list of Rules of the ER in

customers_suck. Complaints start at the first comment, where it is pointed out that s/he ripped off the list from another site. People also point out, at various points and in various ways, that some of the demands/complaints are irrational. Many personal anecdotes are invoked on both sides and I learn more about hemorrhoids than I wanted to.

Others defend the OP and there is discussion of exactly how bitchy a patient is allowed to be.

Eventually, the OP deletes her journal, but the post remains.

stella4809 makes an off-topic post over here and people complain there as well.

	No offense taken. Dad went into the ER with his BG at 35; the second time they took it, it was at 600. Fun for the whole family! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now, admittedly I don't know American measurements as well as I know Australian ones, but that sounds nasty! I know the pain of "why the hell are my blood sugars doing this?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Those are mg/dl. The first is "get the hell to the hospital" low, the second well into coma range. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ick. We measure in ml/l, IIRC, so it sounds like that'd be the equivalent of going in with a bgl of 1.1 or lower, and having it be in the thirties or forties afterwards. o.O (Reply to this)(Parent)
