      Stabbed, it is a medium priority. Pulled out, high priority, and soon thereafter, no priority at all. Which is one way to make ER less crowded and the hospital less quiet.
      And yes, I do ask how long roughly the waiting times are if I need to be a walk in. Usually “roughly, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, more” and tell them that I will not hold them to the waiting time. Patients have to be patient, and if I get to see the doctor quickly, nobody else in the waiting area is as injured/sick as I am. That is a worrisome thought. Especially if you see some of the people there …

    Back in 2018, I experienced what it’s like to sit in the ER, waiting to be seen….for the same hospital that I was employed. I worked on the telemetry unit, Oncology and occupational health, so I knew lots of fellow employees. I did not tell anyone that I was an employee or that I am a Nurse. I never do because I am no better or deserve privilege over others. Everyone needs to be triaged to determine who needs to be seen immediately. I did notice an ambulance outside but soon left after loading up supplies. No other ambulance or helicopter came in during my entire ER visit. I could hear the security guard’s discussion, the ER waiting room was full. I did wait my turn, as I know how busy the Staff can be and not seen behind closed doors. I’ve been there, I know.
    My facial pain was excruciating & difficult to swallow/left side of face swollen (infected molar-was at dental office). I was triaged after waiting 2 hours (BP 218/110, HR 96). I told them that my throat was swelling & having trouble swallowing. The nurse sent me back to wait in the waiting room. I waited another 3 hours to ask how it was looking, not trying to bother just wasn’t sure if I should have a friend drive me to another hospital. I was told I would be called soon. I thanked the nurse-He was nice. I waited in extreme, unbearable pain to my face, neck and throat but knew they were doing their best.
    It’s now nearly 7 hours, waiting to be seen, I walked up to 2 Nurses that I do know. They did not recognize me. I asked kindly, any updates as I am in so much pain and thinking I should go to another hospital if they cannot see me. One of the Nurses literally gave me the dirtiest look. I said there is no reason that you look at me like that, I am simply asking a question. It was difficult to even talk. I went on, I cannot handle being in this much pain any longer, as she continued to glare at me. No compassion, whatsoever. I don’t care how busy you are, no one deserves this treatment. The other Nurse stated, wait….I know you. The other nurse looked stupid at this point. I should not have to be recognized to receive compassion. I wonder what kind of report the other triage nurse provided at change of shift…”pain-med seeker”?
    I was seen within 20 minutes, receiving IV hydration, IV steroids & pain meds via IV. I was scheduled for outpatient surgery for next day. When I left the ER via Uber at 1:00 AM, that Nurse was standing alone. Now that my pain was under control, I walked up to her, looked her dead in the eye and said….I have been an RN for 24 years and no matter the level of stress load in the unit, I have never treated another human-being like you did to me. Absolutely no respect or compassion. We are instructed in nursing school to leave our baggage at the door and whatever you are going through, I hope you can work it out. But if you continue to treat People like you did me, you may want to consider if Nursing is what you’re called to do.
    Then I left to my Uber.

    We took my daughter in for some stitches from a small dog bite. It was 11pm at night and we live in a small town, so we don't have a lot of staff in our ER at night. An emergency came in and our nurse had to go tend to her new patient who was in dire need of her care. She apologized for leaving and flew out the door. A lady out in the hallway rolled her eyes and said, "How long is THIS going to take..." and she said it in earshot of our nurse. I said, "However long it takes to save his life would be my guess. At least, I sure hope so when it's my turn." She glared at me and walked away. Our nurse came back to check in on us over the next two to three hours and then finally came back and apologized again for making us wait. We told her we were happy to wait for the gentleman to get the help he needed. She smiled and appreciated it and she treated my daughter like a rock star for the next two hours while we worked on trying to give a 3 yo stitches on the face. Here's the thing... It wasn't special treatment, she's just that awesome. Nurses make the world go 'round guys. Appreciate them... It's the closest thing to a mother's love you're going to get in this life❤️

      I had a CT Scan done on my head/brain at a local hospital and some strange mass came up on it.
      Doctors fumbled around and tried to figure out what it was, but couldn't, so they called a nearby hospital that specializes in brain tumors.
      Once they saw the scan they said, "Holey shtick! Get that kid in here first thing tomorrow!"
      The next morning we had to go through a metal detector to get into the ER, because it was about 6 and a half months after 9-11-2001.
      Once we got through that, we went to register, they had my name on file from the night before (when I had the CT) and they took me back immediately.
      You best believe I got some nasty looks from other folks sitting in the waiting room! 😆
      If you're wondering, the mass turned out to be cancer in the form of a germ cell tumor (Germinoma) in my brain and spinal cord.
      I had surgery for partial resection of the tumor, 2 more surgeries to correct hydrocephalus caused by the tumor, and the fourth surgery to install a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
      I had 6 & 1/2 weeks of radiation treatments, then 6 months later my shunt "sprung a leak" and I had it repaired on New Year's Day of 2003.
      I've now been in remission for 20 years! 😊

      @@olijones6983 And I totally understand that. I have to have to do that as well during severe ibs flare ups (reading books sometimes helps bring the pain levels down to a non-puking levels).
      But the ones that typically showed up in the ER where I worked, were the ones that were constantly there for things they could have gone to the dr or med center for. AND they were frequent fliers. They were the ones that were "12 out of 10" pain that they had no other signs of being in pain levels that high. No squirming in chairs, no needing to vomit, etc. The nurses would look at them and be like.....'you have a stuffy nose and a TWELVE out of 10 pain level? Like you have the worst pain of your entire life right now?!' And I kid you not, people would get a drink of their huge slushy or pop cups, or look away from their phones to look the nurse straight in the eyes and say "yeah". 😑
      Where as the people who truly are in severe pain (or shoot, just courteous people in general) will give the nurse/dr their full attention when they are speaking to them. And then when they leave, people go back to their phones. And that is one billion percent acceptable. No problems there at all.
      As a side note, the nurses could tell for 99% of the time who was in pain but were trying to distract themselves from that pain. People tend to get this dull look in their eyes because they are trying to cope as best they can.

    So this isn't buried in a reply chain, here's the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) with no stupid faces to figure out:
    0 - No pain
    1 - Hardly notice pain
    2 - Notice pain, does not interfere with activities
    3 - Sometimes distracts me
    4 - Distracts me, can do usual activities
    5 - Interrupts some activities
    6 - Hard to ignore, avoid usual activities
    7 - Focus of attention, prevents doing daily activities
    8 - Awful, hard to do anything
    9 - Can't bear the pain, unable to do anything
    10 - As bad as it could be, nothing else matters
    Edited to add: Rank what the pain is actually doing to you, not compared to some hypothetical "worst" pain you can imagine.
    For people with chronic conditions, don't minimize your ranking based on what you have learned to force yourself to push through regardless of how much worse it's going to make you feel later. (You've totally become acclimated to pushing past your limits because healthy people really have no concept of chronic conditions and how you rob Peter to pay Paul.)
    If you're the relative/partner/friend of the person in pain and you know them well enough to know that they are minimizing their pain ranking, now is the time to speak up. "She says it's a 3 but she hasn't gone up the stairs at home for a week." "He says his shoulder is a little sore but every time he tries to lift a gallon of milk I can hear him groan."

    I never get help at the ER. Enough pain will make me calm and clear.
    Once I called the nurse over and went “hi excuse me. My pain just changed. It’s now centred in one point and the worst pain I’ve ever experienced”
    Just calmly stating facts.
    The nurse was not feeling me and had turned to leave when I passed out on the floor.
    I was bleeding internally and they had me rushed in to surgery just minutes later.
    I don’t blame her though because it’s a freakish feature in my nature(perhaps caused by my adhd making me respond this way to adrenaline/danger 🤷🏻‍♀️)
    I feel all of the pain but it’s like my brain is like nope no time for crying. Crying is for dropping your sandwich on the floor or someone telling you something in a tone we overthink as disapproving once 4 years ago. It’s weird.

      Drs and nurses act like if I can do that, it's not unbearable.....but I push out babies without so much as an 'ouch'....soooo.... I can take pain.
      I've been forced to work through all of my pain throughout life (I have a fabulous work ethic & refuse to leave because I hurt) but became disabled about 5 years ago and even though I have proof, these Drs laugh at me when I'm discussing my pain and experience. It's degrading and embarrassing. Hurts my feelings. And I don't get the good care because of it.

Luckily I was able to prove to my Dr I can deliberately lower my heart rate/etc (learned how in pain management) and trust what I tell them. I live almost every minute of my life in the 4-6 range and I often cry on a good day in despair bc I know the pain always comes back. I almost wish I didn't have good days sometimes bc it's soul crushing when it comes back. I've literally been knocked out by pain before + screamed for hours while being delirious. Plus due to f-ing junkies getting pain medication is so freaking difficult and you're treated like a drug seeker instead of a human in agony.

      @@lel7841 I'm so very sorry. Living with chronic pain is horrific. Absolutely believe you've learned to lower your heart rate. You're right about the "opiod epedemic" leaving people with debilitating, and chronic pain having to go the gamut. I especially feel bad for the elderly in pain. Thankfully I had a hysterectomy so no more pain. However I understand the drug seeking BS in a way. I had a heart rate of 240. I was seizing in a way. Sweating. My mom called the ambulance. I know EMT's have a tough job. Understand they have to ask questions. What drugs did I do? Am I in withdrawal? How much did I drink? Stop shaking we can't get the IV in. I take BP meds. I don't drink. I don't do street drugs. Same questions in the ER. Wound up in the hospital eight days. I have a tumor on my adrenaline gland. Threw off my entire metabolic panel. Almost no magnesium or potassium. Metanephrines all whacked. ONE RN said "No wonder you couldn't stop shaking." Feeling that awful, and frightened then allowing myself to feel like some withdrawing fiend because I knew they thought that. When those bloods and urine came back, and all kinds of people coming in hanging bags to go into my IV line I didn't feel vindicated. I couldn't advocate for myself in that state. Again I get they have to ask. You see on them records BP meds. Can you at least fake you believe someone? Endocrinology issue I had no idea I had. Rare pheo (tumor) on my adrenaline gland. I'm not a fiend! Apologies for such a long post. Please know someone understands. Nobody should have to be in pain. Let alone made to feel like a drug seeker. It's not the RN's faults. I respect paramedics, and they probably had a rough shift. Thank God I wasn't in pain. Putting prayers up for you that you get relief. Very proud you advocate for yourself.

    many people don’t know how long it’s going to be until their appointment or what all they are going to need to do during their appointment. patients are normally expected to come in earlier than their appointment time, and many of them don’t even get seen anywhere close to their actual appointment time depending on the case load, doctors, office, etc. while many of them can be patient and wait, many of them have other things going on in their lives and can’t wait at the doctors office all day long. asking how much longer it might be until they are seen could easily be to notify other people who are waiting on them, or just so they can figure out how to plan out or move around the rest of their day.
    many patients are not notified or aware that they might need to give urine. also if they’ve been waiting awhile and aren’t sure of when they’re actually going to be seen, you can’t expect people to just pee on command or at least the amount of urine that’s needed for some tests.
