8.5 hours in the ER yesterday... Update
But it turned out I just have a walking pneumonia kind of things.
My doctor was afraid to rule out a possible blood clot in my lung during an exam yesterday. I couldn't fully "catch" my breath and had an "episode" driving to work - sort of like a panic attack, can't breath right, pulse is going a million miles an hour (while on a beta blocker!) So she sent me to the hospital - better to be safe than sorry. The xray and catscan with dye showed zilch. Its a great day to have pneumonia, whew! Steroids and an inhaler and I'll be as good as new. Some of those folks in the er were in really bad shape. I told the nurse, while I was here for 8.5 hours, but I'm lucky in that I'm leaving. They don't pay those er people enough money!

For your last comment. My mom recently had a lot go wrong and across two different hospitals. The ER staff and a few of the nurses let me know who's going to heaven if that place exists. You do make a good point. No offense to the doctors who took care of my mom but two nurses in particular came off as super human. Again, get better soon!

Glad to hear you're okay, Barry. Many years ago I was in the ER for something. Some ambulances rolled in and the paramedics wheeled in a couple of patients on gurneys with the sheets pulled up over the heads. It was sobering. Made me think of their families and how those people weren't going home that night.

Hoping for a quick recovery! |

My wife has had frequent trips to the ER, and much of the time spent there is waiting to see a doctor. For her, these things seem to happen in the evening, and it is daylight the next day when we get back home if she has not been admitted to the hospital. I have only had one trip to the ER since signing up with the VA. It was only 15 minutes or so between arriving and seeing a doctor and being admitted to ICU. Fortunately, I don't see any bills in the mail after those adventures. Tony

Barry - leaving the ER to go home IS very good news! And cautious doctors are the best - let the cowboys treat someone else.
Get well!

It is very tough being in the medical field.I toiled there for 35 years and am glad to be retired.You never get bored and it can be very gratifying.Even at the end I always learned something new and faced new challenges. The corporate mantra rules the domain of health care.Morale is low and countless hours are spent on meaningless data entry. i'm concerned about the future of the profession.Many of us have recently retired or are close to it. There will be a definite shortfall of surgeons in both general surgery and the subspecialties.This will soon become a crisis in smaller cities. It takes many years to become proficient in one's surgical field.Renumeration is decreasing and many new grads have huge student debts. On a bright note ,there will always be intelligent and caring people entering the health care field. I wish more people like you would give them recognition.It seems to me that those who pursue athletic endeavors are worshipped.Their huge salaries do not justify what they contribute to our society.
