To the editor: A few months in the past, I obtained a name from my oncologist. “Come to the emergency room as quickly as you may. Your current CT scan reveals you could have blood clots in your lungs,” she mentioned.
Pondering this was a life-threatening scenario, I rapidly packed a bag and ordered a trip to the hospital, which is greater than six miles from my dwelling. Upon my arrival, I settled down to attend. And wait. I feel I sat within the foyer no less than three hours earlier than a physician noticed me.
I used to be lastly admitted to the hospital, the place I stayed for 3 days and obtained therapy. Eric Snoey and Mark Morocco’s article resonated with me (“The emergency in emergency medicine,” Might 20).
