I have a friend with very untypical migraines that absolutely hates going to the ER because she knows how she will be perceived and treated.
My husband has been to the ER 4 times in our married life. He was treated immediately in 3 situations. First time was a concussion from a real bad fall, second and third was heart attack and last one was TIA type symptoms, very minimal that had occurred an hour before. It was the last one that we waited and waited. Now the way to get through triage and into a room and treated is for possible heart attack. My, my, you don't even have a chance to catch your breath. But I am grateful. Oh, the time with the TIA symptoms....turned out to be meningitis and he was in for 2 weeks and rehab 2 weeks.
