This encapsulates the stresses that surround such places of both hope and despair.
I have personally seen the look of outrage when I've come into the ER on my own in the midst of a heart attack and had instant care.
People who've waited can't readily know to look at me that I am at risk of dying in a matter of minutes because they see nothing other than what mimics the pain on their own faces.
As a known cardiac risk I've been told to call an ambulance but I have 4 times found that I can get on the operating table a half hour to an hour quicker than waiting for an ambulance.
I owe my life to the triage skills of people on the front lines like yourself. Stay safe @travelnurse. <3
Learned a lot about you in this reply @cryptologyx. It's for emergency situations like yours that we must react quickly. Even if someone has been there longer it comes down to the need for "Emergent" care. We have to manage beds appropriately in case someone should come in under circumstances such as yours or worse.
