Welcome to your guide of how to avoid pissing off the staff of your local emergency department. If you have ever visited your local ED, you probably have a lot of questions. Questions like "Why are all nurses so rude?" "Why didn't I see a doctor?" and "Why was my kid sent home when he is so clearly on death's door?" I hope to answer your questions by addressing some of the frequently asked questions in my own ED.
Let's begin.
Chapter 1: Why you have to wait in a room full of sick people.
Chapter 2: How the nurse knows your child never had a fever of 110.
Chapter 3: Who that woman wearing the white coat was and why she was only in your room for five minutes.
Chapter 4: Why your child was not given an antibiotic.
Chapter 5: Why no one laughs at your jokes about swine flu/MRSA/the full moon etc.
Chapter 6: What a primary care pediatrician is.
Chapter 7: When it qualifies as an "emergency."
