The doctors probably have real medical emergencys.if you've been there 6 hours chances are your not a medical emergency.you should have made an appointment to see your PCP.Trust me,the people at snhmc really do care.you don't see ambulances that go in the back all the time.be patient.your number will be called when they are ready for you and your situation.

She subscribes to that health network thing and we already got the diagnosis from them. Unfortunately, we gotta wait till the doctor discharges, her home.

Oh I know she’s not a medical emergency. She sprained her ankle really bad but the point is it’s been six hours. It’s a little ridiculous.

Welp, that's why you're waiting.

A sprained ankle equals RICE, maybe NSAIDs(I personally would add G&Ts to that), and then see an urgent care in the morning.

Yeah, we would leave but they’ve already started the process so we can’t go or we get the bill and the insurance don’t pay it is that

Understand where you're coming from. I hope it is just a simple sprained ankle and she heals up quick. I know hobbling around on them are not fun.

Good luck. Hope you all get out of there soon!
