    Jenn- My husband had a terrible ER experience last August where he was improperly diagnosed. I got a lot of good advice on who to contact, here's the thread: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=9877

    Take care and COMPLAIN to anyone who will listen about your experience at the hospital.

    Jenn,

    Rest, rest, and then rest more. Take your meds and let your body heal. I give some good advice, yet rarely follow it myself.
    I am sorry you had a bad experience at the ER. Pain scales and emergencies often get trumped by even worse emergencies as I have learned from numerous trips to the ER. Strokes and TIAs are handled promptly, thank goodness. It is amazing just how fast I can be rushed from admin to CT all the while having IVs inserted and vitals and neuro checks. Other times I have gone in with pre-symproms, pain sclae of 9-10 and waited and waited until the pre-symptoms became the actual problem I was there to prevent.
    Ack-this was not suppoed to be about me.
    Long story made less long... I have been to numerous ERs and in many states. Sadly they are over-worked and under-staffed.
    The point- Feel Better soon!!
