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.
Your support today could mean the difference between eating tonight and going hungry again.

Dental Emergency ***$4200***

Urgent need: **$2,848**
Monthly survival: **$1,500**
URGENT: ***$21,628*** to climb out.
Short-term liberation: $25,000
**$5 million** to build a forever home.

**This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.**

Maddow: Why does Trump need your emergency room records?

https://youtu.be/h7vJVid4Y8w

Consumer Product Safety Commission wants to collect emergency room patient data warrants a closer look. Under the Trump administration, nothing can be taken at face value...

Back at the #EmergencyRoom. J-tube fell out. We has begun weaning her off, but we weren’t ready for this stage yet.

Did you know that Dr. Mark Greene from #ER was #DOOM2 pro player? :awesome:

(S02 E07 from 1995, the one where Doug Ross alias George Clooney becomes a TV hero by saving a drowning child)

Who has two thumbs and accidentally pressed the code button at the ER? This girl! #EmergencyRoom #oops

Neurologist # 2 thinks it’s not a seizure. But no idea what it was. More tests in the future. Maybe breakfast too? #EmergencyRoom

Sleeping in a visitor chair in the ER may not be easy or comfortable, but if you’re tired enough, it’s doable. #EmergencyRoom

The machine has stopped beeping but now the guy is snoring quite loudly. Fun times… #EmergencyRoom

There is a machine near my head that’s beeping and I don’t know if I want to melt down in tears or throw it across the ER in annoyance. Not a good sign. #caregiving #EmergencyRoom

Hier sind bestimmt #ER alias #EmergencyRoom-Fans anwesend, oder? ODER!? 👀

Na egal, jedenfalls gibt es mit #ThePitt ein frisches #MedicalDrama, das eeeendlich wieder die Arbeit des medizinischen personals in der Vordergrund rückt. Die Besonderheit: Im Echtzeit-Stil von #24 wird in 15 Folgen eine 15-Stunden-Schicht in der Notaufnahme gezeigt. Mit an Bord sind der ehemalige Showrunner von ER und #NoahWyle, besser bekannt als Dr. John Carter aus ER.

Ihr glaubt gar nicht wie sehr ich mich gerade freue. 🥹 :yayblob: Staffel 2 wurde bereits geordert.

Gateway to Emergency

Luckily, the emergency turned out well for my relative. I was just the emergency driver.

Emergency wait times blow out as hospitals struggle to discharge patients: The amount of time Australians are waiting in hospital emergency departments is increasing with the average wait time for admission now between 12 and 16 hours, according to a new report. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-17/emergency-department-wait-times-blowout-hospital-health/104815792?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #emergencyroom #emergencydepartment #ED

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?
