Apple Podcasts5FacebalmUnited States3 months ago - ER- non treatment
Love you guys!
In regards to Scott’s ER non-treatment- I’m sorry that is unacceptable and you should have said 25 and made noise!
I also had a situation like that in NYC. I had convulsions and was non-responsive after a bone marrow biopsy (nicked something? I’ll never know) and I was rushed to the ER connected to office (took 20 minutes) and sat around for more than 5 hours not seeing any medical people. My insurance payed out plenty for that visit !
So, it’s not all about uninsured people not g... more
