(*for example you or someone you know needs treatment right now immediately so the bad one is the only option. feel free to vote yes even if you've moved since your bad experience and the hospital you have access to now is better!)

I'm usamerican so my experience is within the US health system, but ohhhh my god the ER in my town is awful. Whether the nurses and doctors are rude or not is hit or miss (some are super friendly, others will ask you rapid fire questions and expect you to keep up even when you're in distress and try to tell you that a pulse of 52 is "within normal range" - I'm not Lance Armstrong bro??? I'm here cause I randomly passed out cause I couldn't breathe, hello???). I've read that they're also Highly Encouraged to not spend a lot of time on one patient and to discharge ASAP, and I believe it - one time my mom went in because her blood sugar was extremely high, and as the nurse was discharging her she was like "well just come back if it gets above 300 again" like it wasn't actively still above 300 (still high enough to be in the ER). I had to go in the other day for what turned out to be a bad case of diverticulitis + resulting infection and they really should have kept me overnight, but I got sent home that afternoon even though I was in severe pain and halfway to passing out from low blood pressure on the wheelchair ride out to the taxi, like these people cannot WAIT to get rid of you. I've heard even worse stories from other people too, some who've almost died bc of this ER's BS. I think it has more to do with how Questionably things are run and the shortage of quality doctors/nurses here than anything, but holy stars. Next time, unless I'm in a situation where I might die in the next 20mins, I'm going to the hospital in the next town over...
