But at least mornings are supposedly the best time to go to the ER, since people haven't really had a chance to hurt themselves effectively yet, unlike in the evening or something.<BR/><BR/>(I got some stitches recently in an ER in the US. That took about 3.5 hours from entering the hospital to leaving it.)<BR/><BR/>(I also got a wasp sting a few weeks ago. The stupid wasp flew into my shirt in the last 10 minutes of a 200km bike ride!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-16224200594511852442008-08-19T08:00:00.000-07:002008-08-19T08:00:00.000-07:00Oh dear god.

I had to wait about 20 mins to see a physician...I usually wait longer to see my own regular doctor, with an appointment!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about the wasp sting - speedy recovery, and do keep us posted.<BR/><BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-28313362692492080742008-08-19T06:37:00.000-07:002008-08-19T06:37:00.000-07:00Oh no!

ER doctors do seem to be younger and more with it, perhaps just because the stress and the adrenaline of the job requires it of them. I hope you don't have to sit and wait too, too long. I do absolutely love free Canadian health care, but the system certainly has its flaws!Pantagruellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276888537167616031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-57857887831650451082008-08-19T06:02:00.000-07:002008-08-19T06:02:00.000-07:00You should get VIP service for frequent visits...G...You should get VIP service for frequent visits...Geez.<BR/><BR/>Good that you're going to get it checked out.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-37902501914608201222008-08-19T05:48:00.000-07:002008-08-19T05:48:00.000-07:00Oh no!!
