Poison control advised seeking immediate care as it resembled blood pressure and pain med. We sat in waiting room 3.5 hours before vitals were taken.
11/2021 Previously I was experiencing mild to heavy bleeding during pregnancy due to rh factor sat in waiting room 6 hours afraid I was having a miscarriage, which I had to get a shot and I was basically starting to “kick out baby”. " - Sharon
