Methodist Hospital: "So just so that all of you know, Methodist Hospital is currently advertising a 2:45
Min wait in the ER, from the time you enter until admitted by a doctor. THIS IS A FLAT ASS LIE. I have been in the ER for five hours with a kidney infection and the doctors exact words were “it’s up to you whether or not you want to be admitted” but if you decide to be admitted it could be 24 hours sitting in the waiting room” it’s been an hour since I asked them to take the IV out and just discharge me because no one can tell me how many hours it will be before they can even give me any antibiotics or fluids. Welcome to socialized medicine, hope you guys are happy!" - Michelle
