We've been monitoring her BP. Yesterday it spiked to 188/110, before going back to normal. Today it spiked to 190. So off to the ER we go. We'll see what's up with her; but, her condition is not what this is about ... at the 1st ER, was packed. We waited about an hour (a BP level of 180+ is stroke level; but again, this isn't about my wife). One of the people waiting was clearly in discomfort ... groaning loudly and writhing in pain. He was there before we arrived so who knows how long he had been waiting. Then, he suddenly began vomiting violently into a bucket ... I would have thought someone on the staff would have noticed and took some kind of action ... nope. After maybe 5 minutes (maybe less ... time is hard to judge when witnessing stuff like that), he fell over onto the floor vomiting still. Still no one on the staff moved. It wasn't until I went up to the desk and informed them the guy was on the floor in what appeared to be severe distress, did the nurse even look up. She called someone who sauntered to her desk, then sauntered over to the guy, along with a male attendant. Thy picked the guy up, put him in a wheelchair and disappeared, leaving him in the waiting area. Mrs. 1SBM and I waited another 10 minutes before leaving for the ER "in our neighborhood" ... the guy was still unattended to when we left. The experience has left me disgusted ... the staff at that ER, was clearly unconcerned.

Nice bouncy, Blackie.Maybe the sick guy was on democrat insurance.

Of course this couldn't possibly be because there's a shortage of doctors thanks to 0bamacare.Cindie
They were warned that ERs would be hard hit. When you give a bunch of people insurance, but it's insurance that a lot of doctors won't take, like medicaid, then those new people are going to hit the ER for every little thing. Even more so than they use to without coverage.
But we were told Obamacare would reduce the strain on emergency rooms.
Like everything else we were told about Obamacare, that was also a lie.
I hope he (1SBM) runs hard afoul of HIPPA laws.

The only chance of this bouncy having any truth to it would be if it was in an urban,leftist hell hole where the most pressing needs are Obamaites in the middle of a drug overdose or shot/stabbed up from a gang fight.
Nah. He's not a care provider or involved in health service for the guy who with the technicolor yawn, and even if he was, he didn't say anything that would identify the guy by name or other unique identifier.
My guess is that he's a habitual there--the taxpayers, not him, are picking up the tab anyway--and so the staff's already intimately acquainted with what ails him.
If someone vomits excessively and falls on the floor they're not going to ignore it.
Alcoholic DUmmy Will Pitt does that every night at home.His drunken mother and his tattooed bride both ignore it.
He is married? I must have forgot about that. And i don't needs pics. haha
No, you definitely don't want those.
