The 2 times I went with real emergencies, heart attacks, once in an ambulance, once as a walk in, I was an extreme priority. Other times with the kids, broken bones for example, we had to wait. We understand what was going on...... bill
@@NurseSarahJeffries We have not received any word or comments on that. But they are all young and healthy from what we can tell from early social media research on them. These deaths occurred shortly after a 4th CV19 dose was mandated on them. I don't want to spread misinformation but that is a commonality among them. Are health care workers in my community are extremely worried about the near future. Thank you for your time🙏
Hey I was waiting after just a bp no other triage for 10 hours. I had shortness of breath, pain and burning in lungs on exertion, lack of mobility preexisting cancer in lung, pre existing diabetes, preexisting accelerated heart rate. By the 10th hour they called in a family of 8 with only 1 dr. I got up snd left. So I guess the triage nurse Sussed out I was malingering or had a 10 hr plus panic attack eh
So sorry you had that experience. Hope your ok. If your ever in that situation again you can ask to speak with the nurse again and have them explain what they are doing, just for reassurance.
@Nurse Sarah Jeffries ppl tried they have a sign up saying do not visit the wicket for updates. Wait to see dr. We will not tolerate abuse. I called 911 later they checked heart thst was fine. I'm suspecting it is the VLC Diet I've been on 5 months, or issue with lung. Making appt with gp tom so he can view xray. I sure was disspointed as I found it hard to believe a family if 8 that went b4 me all had high risk symptoms.
I have much mix feelings about this, some people have died waiting in the waiting room. I guess the response to my comment would be “No system is perfect” but........ yea, hmmmm
I'm bringing a pillow with me next time I went in my pajamas and it was just so horrible I puked there and peed my pants at the same time they had to give me a gown so many things was happening to me I laid on the floor I couldn't get comfortable and then the nurse yell at yelled at me to get off the floor and I yelled back at her because she shouldn't have talk to me that way I was there suffering for 5 hours I literally wanted to die I was thinking of dying
You are wrong I have covid and I cried and I was in extreme pain and suffering and I had really mean nurses and staff attacking me and I don't go up there to the desk to bother people cause I think I'm supposed to be first I'm going up there because I'm suffering so don't minimize people's pain!!
I’m so sorry that you had that experience. This video is simply to explain that there is a process. You should always ask the nurse to explain and reassure you that you will be taken care off. I hope you made a speedy recovery
So, if you think a mistake was made in triage, wait patiently? I don’t think so. I have been on the receiving end of triage mistakes twice. Some years ago, I arrived by ambulance confused, with difficulty communicating at 4 AM. I called the ambulance myself after bowel prep for a colonoscopy left me feeling unsteady and “jittery.” The EMT’s tried to talk me out of going to the hospital. After all, I had just gone through that bowel prep. Why waste it. I almost acquiesced. My next memory was in the ED, talking with a triage nurse and not understanding why I couldn’t complete a sentence, having to start over each time from pretty much the same point without finishing. I recall only a minute or two of several hours. The triage nurse assigned me a fairly low priority. Thank goodness it wasn’t swamped or I would have died. My next memory after that was when the medflight team arrived in my room to transport me to a major teaching hospital. Turns out, I had severe hyponeutremia. I only know what happened because I later pulled my medical records. It took 9 mos to recover. The next triage mistake was a few weeks ago. I arrived on crutches having recently fractured my pelvis. I was very firm that I was there for an unrelated reason. Both of my legs had gone numb that afternoon. Not completely but enough to harken back to my spine physiatrist’s advice a decade earlier to head for the ED if that ever happened because I have major spine pathology and that could suggest cauda equina, which is a true medical emergency. I explained all of this. I also knew enough to understand I had a limited window if that indeed was the case. The triage nurse noted I had driven myself and apparently blew me off. A couple of hours later, I inquired if I could be re-triaged. I figured something had gone wrong. I got retriaged. Another 1.5 hours later, I was calling the hospital switchboard to request an admin on charge. 45 minutes after that, I asked for a 3rd triage. At this point, a very pissed off charge nurse comes in and starts going off on me about waiting 3 days and then deciding to drive myself to the ER. what? She thought I had waited 3 days after my legs went numb. We screamed at each other a little more but I did get taken back immediately at that point. Even the neurologist apologized and documented how long I had been left in the waiting room. Turns out, my need for back surgery was merely urgent rather than emergent. Your husband was fortunate to have his very own emergency nurse. For the rest of us, be your own advocate if you think a mistake may have been made. After all, you are the one who will suffer the consequences.

Talks too much about it being OK to wait. Nothing about the actual process of er triage criteria
Watch it again I definitely do
