I have just spent 4 days in Hospital with breathing problems and mobility problems. This is the first time I had a quick response in the emergency dept. Normally a patient can wait up to 6+ hours, but the nurse saw my medic alert bracelet and I was seen within 10 minutes much to the disgust of a full waiting room. I have a viral chest infection and according to my Neuro my mestinon had to be increased.
It finally seems that the hospital staff are realising that some conditions need to be treated ASAP if not sooner. I have waited for hours in the past.
