Actually I was seen very quickly and it wasn't crowded at all. The doctor and nurse were pleasant and I had a private room. It just didn't help the vertigo/nausea much. So it could have been much worse! I guess the fact that I usually *am* treated nicely in the emergency room is why I found it discouraging... Like there is no hope if they couldn't help me. I decided not to go to urgent care/convenient care because that tends to be a way longer wait where I live and I figured they'd want to do a brain scan due to the seizure-like activity and chronic migraines and vertigo. Which I would need to be sent to the hospital for, anyways. But when I am given Zofran or Morphine for nausea or pain, oh is it a relief! Fortunately morphine works well for me. When I was 4 years old, though, I broke my arm and we waited in the ER for 3 hours and the doctor snapped my arm back into place without giving me anesthesia to first numb the area. Then the hospital charged my parents for anesthesia! That made my mother really angry. My broken arm was one of the early tip-offs something was up with me (autism) because even though my arm was bent at a 90 degree incorrect angle I didn't cry or seem upset. I never did as a child. I'd simply lay down and that's how my mother would know I was sick.
