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.

Oh god, ew. (The only reason I was able to stave off a full-blown panic attack the last time I had physical anxiety symptoms was because I *don't* have a history of heart issues and was able to recognize the tightening in my chest as an anxiety attack and mentally go "you're not gonna die, you're not gonna die" and try to breathe. I was also pretty lucky that my friend, whose birthday party it was, found me standing in the hallway shaking and helped me over to his bedroom window (which opens out over the deck and faces the ocean, so there was a nice crisp breeze for me to breathe), offered me half a Xanax (which I luckily didn't need) and refused to leave until I swore up and down I'd be alright. This is a good deal of why I think I might love him, even if he doesn't know that...)
