[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has asthma, so for a couple of years we visited the ER (at advice of primary care doctor) when the medicine we could use at home wasn't working to stop an asthma attack.

I think my "favorite" memory is of me holding my daughter in the triage room so she could get a nebulizer treatment (with a hospital-only dosage of medicine in it) because the ER was full - watching a whole family come in explaining that their child (maybe 7 years old?) says his "wrist hurts".  Kid is NOT crying, just looks like he doesn't want to be there.  Whole group is staring at me and my daughter - we couldn't go anywhere to give them privacy because the nebulizer in an ER works on an oxygen line, and she was asleep from fighting the asthma attack.  Luckily a room opened up in back and we could get a real spot at that point.

I kept wondering if the ER was previously really full of people that need to be there or just full of kids whose wrists hurt.

What I hate are the posts with pictures of kids who are CLEARLY in pain, saying "keep us in your thoughts, _____ may have broken their ____."  Get the heck off facebook, your kid needs you![/quote]
