You know not coming to the hospital for a checkup and waiting for your turn is something that can't be helped. Because I had so many patients, I had to walk often. I now know a website that reviews nurse shoes <a href="https://www.bestgearfornurses.com/best-shoes-for-male-nurses/" rel="nofollow"> men's nursing shoes </a>, I I already know more ways to choose shoes and I'll buy it soon.HauHuynhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556826196604160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914133192411473700.post-14193629710474431072019-09-12T00:05:26.563-07:002019-09-12T00:05:26.563-07:00Thanks for your insight for your fantastic posting...Thanks for your insight for your fantastic posting.

It caught my ...I just stumbled upon your blog post. It caught my curiosity – being a 2nd year x-ray student. I'm so sorry to hear about the ordeal you had to go through in the ER. I'm embarrassed that the x-ray tech that took your images lacked the professionalism to look up your history before coming to get you. I agree with the poster above me. Every ER is run differently. In fact, at the hospital where I do my clinical rotations it is hospital policy that all ER patients be transported to and from x-ray in either a wheel chair or gurney regardless of their injury or illness. It makes me cringe to think that you would have to walk on your injured foot through the entire process of getting admitted. Someone should have thought to get you a wheel chair no-matter how busy they may have been. My Dad was recently in the same situation as you. He went to a small-town ER to get his foot checked out and he was told to wait in a long line (standing-up of course!). He left without ever getting his foot checked despite my nagging, and it still bothers him to this day…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914133192411473700.post-83526809412533275022010-01-24T10:26:02.159-08:002010-01-24T10:26:02.159-08:00Sorry for what you went through, Kerry. Historical...Sorry for what you went through, Kerry. Historically, each ER is different from the next one. I met a friend's cousin last night who showed me his casted hand and he told me that the first ER he went to (in Methuen) casted his hand so poorly that the bones were not going to heal like that. He took the cast off himself and went to another ER who did a better job.<br /><br />People need to realize that ER's just do quickie stuff unless you go to a major city hospital where you will get better care....because they have better doctors. <br /><br />You should go see an orthopedist ASAP and not take the ER word for it that it is a sprain. You may have torn ligaments and if that is the case then you have to treat it differently depending on the grade of tear. <br /><br />Consider an ER a patch job until you see your physician or someone who gives more of a hoot on Monday.Patnoreply@blogger.com
