#emergencyroom — Public Fediverse posts

Part 3:
The trip to the #ER, my landlord and long time friend had to go to the doctor which happened to be at the hospital so I was able to rideshare with her, and I walked into the emergency department, it has been a long time since I have been in any medical setting, boy things have changed, first I had to fill out this tiny half sheet of who I am and what my issue is, then to my luck it was empty and a lite day, so the nurse triaged me fairly quickly, I was babbling on about my health as she asked questions doing my vitals, I am sure I sounded like a manic nut job, but then after about 5 mins she sat me in a tiny room to wait for the doctor who within 2 mins promptly walked into the room sat down, and quickly went over what the reason for my visit, again I am sure I sounded like a babbling manic nutjob, he was nice and listened and after 4 mins said ok we are going to give you some antibiotics, something to relive the pain and the swelling and asked if they could give me the first round while I was there, of course I said yes, he said ok stepped out, and in less than 2 mins another nurse came in with my meds, my discharge papers and already called in my prescriptions to walmart, and I was out, it took longer to physically get there than it took to be seen and sent out the door, then at walmart I had to have my friend collect my meds because since I never leave home, my id is expired and they would not accept my id to get my own meds, even though my id expired was still me I had my hospital discharge papers and a wrist band from the hospital identifying me, and I was paying using my walmart app connected to my phone attached to my cc to my name, anyways between the pain, and being out in public my anxiety was through the roof and I am pretty sure I looked and sounded like a manic babbling nutjob to everyone, we got home and I had a few things to tend to then I took a short nap, and around 7 last night I got back into bed and then got up around 5:30 am this morning, the rest of my normal if you can call it that pain is still with me, but my tooth is down to a dull pain, the antibiotics and the stuff for swelling is helping, but I only have about 7 days worth, so now I have to find a dentist to still address the root problem which happens to be the root of my tooth, I need a root cannel, and I have no idea how I am going to pay for the er visit that I am getting billed for and now a dentist and root cannel, I could really use all the help and support I can get right now;

Part 2:

So the pain from my tooth was so bad I had to go to the #Emergencyroom between that and the 7 days of meds I got that cost me or is somehow going to cost me $2200, that this #disabled man existing in #poverty simply does not have, not to mention I still need to find a way to afford to go to an actual #Dentist so I can get a #rootcanal and after spending time trying to find a dentist turns out that is going to cost me another $2000, I NEED HELP PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP ME NOW, I STILL NEED #FOOD TO EAT THIS MONTH, and Now I have a #Dentalemergency to contend with,

Part 1:

On top of my constant pain and exhaustion I have a Cavity on inside of my Left Maxillary Lateral Incisor, that has elected to become an excruciating pain, I have not slept at all in the past 24 hours, every time I begin to doze off, bone shattering pain radiates through the entire left side of my face, as a #disabled man existing solely in #poverty and without access to any #transit or #medical care, I tried over the night to do the whole clove oil bit, after using enough to cook a Christmas ham and downing 3000mg of Tylenol, there is no relief in sight, I beg for help to get through each day and I seldomly receive enough for the extreme basics, my #health is in decline and I am in no way able to care for myself in that regard in any capacity, I am currently in enough pain to cripple a horse, and there is simply nothing I can do about it, #disability is hard enough when you have no support system but add #poverty #agging and #health issues and your pretty much in an eternal world of hell;

🛒 Today’s goal: **$5000** for a Dental Emergency and for the food I still need to obtain for this month, I have a cart full but can’t place the order.

Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

> Loma Linda University Medical Center ranked third in the country for how long
> its patients typically spent at the emergency department, with a median time of
> nearly seven hours, based on federal data.

#Canadians are now picking themselves up off the floor, #laughing.

Here in #Saskatchewan, the literal birthplace of #medicare, we would be absolutely THRILLED if ER wait times averaged "nearly seven hours". Twelve hours is more typical. And that less-than-seven-hours counts as third-worst in the #USA?

#WeirdNews Much respect to the #EmergencyRoom crew.

"According to the news site, the #anonymous #senior went to #Hospital Sainte Musse in #Toulon to remove the 8-inch #ArtilleryShell from his #anus , which he had placed inside him for pleasure.

#Doctors at the hospital were not just concerned about the #medical needs of the senior but also that the #explosive could #detonate in the hospital. However, it was quickly determined that the risk of an explosion was minimal."
