Not in my case . My only symptom was high heart rate . No pain or anything else . I had a bed immediately
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You got lucky. I have seen patients wait a full day during covid reclining on a comfy bed in the hall.

I had four different trips to the ER for the same condition . SVT . Every time all I had to say was " Heart " and it was game on . My Cardiologist finally talked me into the Ablation procedure and I haven't been back .

Late 1960"s was involved in a auto accident (I was the driver of a VW Beetle Bug) and my forehead struck the windshield and was bleeding /transported to a local community hospital and placed in a hallway waiting to be checked out. After about 1/2hour i physically tripped a nurse to get some attention.. When i told her to go get the hospital head nurse or the hospital head pharmasist that they were my aunt and uncle i instantly covered like a sugar pile swarmed by a ant nest and was taken in for treatment.......................... drill sgt.

Every few months I hear (on the scanner) fire get dispatched to the ER of the nearby hospital on a medical call.
Why? Someone has been waiting too long to be treated. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sigmund, April 04, 2025 04:53 PM
