[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree the pendulum has swung way too far in the ER for pain management. I have only been twice- both for broken bones due to falls- and in both cases it was hours before I could get anyone to speak to me about pain relief much less addressing my injury. [b]At Inova Fairfax they forgot me in the hall[/b] and only remembered me when my husband came looking for me several hours later. Since it was my ankle that was broken I couldn’t even walk to the main area to ask for help. When I broke my wrist it was better because I could walk to the nurse station and remind them each hour that I was waiting for an x ray to be read so that I could go home and take a Motrin.[/quote] I’ve heard this so many times from friends. INOVA FFX is an amazing top notch hospital. But unless you come in on a stretcher with a major trauma, the ER is not for you. If at all possible go to another hospitals ER.[/quote]
