Their excuse for it taking over 30 minutes was my nurse was in "reports" so essentially I didn't have a nurse for over an hour and still haven't seen her
That hospital is severly understaffed, not to mention a nurse is not always sitting there waiting for a patient to call, they have to provide care to numerous other patients besides yourself. And you also called at a bad time, most likely during shift change if the nurses were giving report.
@Brasco5653 Man, there is no excuse for a hospital to take over an hour to answer a patients call. If they are that short staffed then they should hire more nurses or take less patients or do something. I could understand 15 to 20 minutes or so, but over an hour? If being in reports was the problem, they should have checked the pain medicine dosing times of the patients before they went into reports.
@47alabama perhaps you should have a gall stone in your pancreas and see how much pain you're in. I almost couldn't walk into the emergency room and couldn't sit down without screaming in pain. I was on high doses of Dalaudid for 5 days until I was transferred to a bigger hospital to have an ERCP, so no in this video I wasn't in the pain I was in when I came into the ER, but it was starting to come back and I would have preferred to cut it off before it got bad.

@47alabama Plus this was less than 2 weeks after I had my gallbladder removed.
