Cleveland Clinic: "I came in with meningitis and waited over 5 hours to be seen. Meningitis can be fatal if not treated immediately. 9 months ago I came to this same ER with similar symptoms and waited 3 hours. When I got a room, the doctor came in immediately and said we needed a spinal puncture and antibiotics and was dismayed at how long I waited because of the risks in delayed treatment (seizures, brain damage, sometimes fatal). I told the staff about this the second time around and they just told me to wait. " - Caroline
