Unlike the usual ER experience, I was one of two patients in the entire ER… Staff was friendly, helpful and kept me comfortable throughout and prescribed treatment was later confirmed by my Vascular Surgeon. The entire experience was as pleasant as a trip to the ER could be.
The only negative was that despite being the only patient there, my entire visit still took 3+ hours b/c they had to electronically send the CAT Scan results somewhere to be read. Of course, this could be true in a big city ER as well, I don’t know, and a full time radiologist in this ER would also not be cost effective.
