..had an incident recently where my daughter needed to visit the local ER room for an injury. Granted, the injury was not going to kill her, but she needed to see a doctor right away. I think every American should camp out in their local ER room to see what goes on.
Here are my observations. Sorry if they're not politically correct but it's the hard truth.
1. The vast majority in the ER room were obese Mexicans who did not speak a lick of English with no apparant visible injuries (or insurance). They had to have an interpreter. Of course, they had their entire extended family accompanying them along with several small children climbing the ER walls bothering those who were crying in pain with real injuries. They use the ER room as their walk-in clinic dropping their anchor babies in the hall along the way.
2. We were the only people who actually had legitimate insurance, and the ones who waited the longest to get care because we actually spoke English and could complete the forms the hospital wanted us to fill out.
3. If you need to go to the ER, don't speak any English and leave your wallet at home. Pay nothing and get to the front of the line.
