Tired of those long ER wait times and the overcrowding once inside? This video is an example of issues the emergency department will unlikely be able to help you with....Those medical personnel who work in the EMS or ER setting can hopefully relate to this encounter.

  • This is so funny and soooo true. I had a guy come to triage one day with a complaint of abdominal pain for 10 years. So I asked him why he came in today and he told me he finally got a ride.

  • If I were not laughing I would be crying from how true this video is. I work full-time in the ER and people in the general public cannot conceive how frustrating a majority of the patients in the ER are and how very NOT sick 99% of them are

  • Hahahahaa...ms. vagus. Love it. So true. Patient comes in, presents with nonspecific pain, allergic to every OTC non-narcotic out there (naturally), it's the "worst pain they've ever felt", they have to have meds NOW (in the middle of the night), and then they get pissed and say they hate you when you refuse to write them a scrip for an absurd number of pills. Perfect.

  • So painfully true.  And painfully funny: "A very lucky nurse will be with you shortly."

  • So unbelievably true. Even in a hospital in a swanky high-income suburb of the SF Bay Area, we saw those "patients". I firmly believe in a "No-Fault Discretion" law that would, once invoked, allow hospital staff to 'evict' these sorts of people and grant immunity from all non-criminal legal complaints. THAT would clean up the EDs in a hurry!

  • I can't help but think she wants dick from the doctor 0_o ???

  • Lol

  • Some patients fake his/her symptoms for drugs (opiates).

  • hahaha oh man am dying.... LOL

  • "How long have you been having this pain?"

    "Two years."

    Lawl.

  • Can we please stop focusing on me and your pets? LOL
