So I had to take my brother to the hospital this morning for some immunization shots because he has special ones cause he's allergic to some of them or something like that. After walking through the hospital and surrounding buildings for almost an hour and a half looking for this doctor we said fuck it and went home.
tl;dr hospitals are confusing.
What other stories of hospital bullshit do you have to share?

Also, the maze is needed to keep the minotaur inside the center of the hospital lest it gain freedom and terrorize the denizens of Crete.
This explains alot.

Thats a guaranteed hit band right there.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
You couldn't be bothered to ask for directions?

Man, fuck that noise. He wants to go exploring!
Yeah....I don't think the doctor would have needed her to hold it in or anything. Why did you think she couldn't pee?
And if she did pee and she wasn't supposed too she could just drink more water.

I asked at every place they sent me (it was always "oh you actually need to go to this area") it got to the point where they said to go outside to the medical arts building down the street when I get there this doctor isn't on the directory and no one at reception had ever heard of the guy.
We have rescheduled for him to meet us at out regular doctor next week.

That's only because you didn't wander anywhere critical or sensitive.
Try wandering into surgery... You won't even get close.
Not unless you have a pizza bag in your hand.
tl;dr Hunter thinks people need to learn how to use fucking maps.

I don't talk to the press.
but i never go to that hospital because everybody does and the wait-times are a nightmare
six years ago i got stabbed and had to sit in the waiting room for 4 hours with a knife in my chest because they just didn't have any doctors to see me and i wasn't really dying.
fuck you, michael moore. canada's healthcare system is not fucking magic.
that's really more of a hardware store problem
What I'm hearing here is someone didn't have the balls to take the knife out of his own wound -
furthermore lacked the balls to clean and dress the wound, and lacked further balls to not worry about internal bleeding.

this dude was beat by a hospital
that has signs
and personnel to direct you in the right direction
Everyone in an ER is upset and in need of attention, but only a few genuinely need immediate attention, and saying "But it hurts!" isn't enough of a reason.
Clearly, you are alive enough to tell us of your ordeal, so the hospital must have done it's job, even if it wasn't as timely as you would have preferred.
those are balls, you're looking at balls here
"well, the bleeding's stopped, you don't appear to be in shock, your pain isn't getting worse, so please sit and a doctor will see you as soon as one is available"
"should i take the knife out?"
"no, don't take it out or move it. that could do more damage"
i mean, to an extent, i can understand. like half an hour before i got there, there was a 9 car accident and there were like six people in critical condition and stuff.
but still!
i got a dang knife in my chest should we not be doing something about that?
the nurse didn't realize that, and really wasn't in the position to diagnose that.
now, in the end, i was okay. the knife pretty much bit into rib bone and not precious organs.
point is, i find it hard to accept that they couldn't pull a doctor away for like 5 minutes to determine the presence or absence of internal injury and take the knife out.
i could stitch the damn wound up myself if i had to, i just didn't want to remove the knife till i was sure.
They're right about not moving it though. You could do more damage. Sometimes you literally have to cut the wound open more to remove the knife safely rather than ripping and tearing.
I'm a first responder on my work site and have had tons of CPR, First Aid, and AED use training and have seen nasty shit. I've seen people impaled on rebar and pieces of steel. Just last month some poor sap stuck a flat head screw driver through his hand. It's not pretty when they're just yanked out.

That makes sense. Did you raise a stink?
I find that if you make enough noise, eventually someone important steps out to ask you what the problem is.
I had to take a pizza to the maternity ward one night.
I got there and found the nurse/receptionist/whatever the pizza was for.
"There's a delivery joke in here somewhere."
She laughed.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them

They had me sign what seemed like twenty hours worth of forms as I just dry-heaved and roared in what was truly indescribable agony.
Not one fucking drop of painkiller till three hours after the whole thing started.
Fucking bastards.

I'm aware of that, which is why I didn't remove it. However, leaving it in can also be a very serious problem. There is a variety of different sorts of internal damage it could be doing say, every time I take a breath, and I would not necessarily be feeling increased pain.
Basically, I got low-prioritied when I should've been middle priority at the least. A guy who came in with a busted arm got saw ahead of me, and right away!
I mean, that could've been serious, I understand that, but if they can yank a doctor away for a bit to help brokey arm, they couldn't pull the same guy away to let me know it's cool to take it out and how to remove it properly?
When I finally got to see the doctor, taking the knife out took five minutes and a nurse stitched me up.
The problem with our healthcare system is overload and prioritization issues.
It was... suprisingly easy.

Ok quit being silly by making sense. The internet is no place for real advise or sharing of knowledge.
