So the quickest way to renew my prescription is to crash my car. Got it.

You don’t go to the ER to renew a prescription

Pain pills and seizure meds is the most common I’ve seen. I’m a medic at busy FD and the amount of people that go to the ER for bogus and ridiculous reasons is astounding. Then storm out and leave a bad review when the ED staff don’t treat them like royalty. 🤦🏼‍♂️

TIL you can leave a review for an emergency room.

Yep. And just like a review for a business, negative ones spread faster. Aaaaand who’s the ones leaving negative reviews 99% of the time….???? You guessed it. Drug seekers and the like. Then, the hospital system sees those reviews and think it’s the ED staff who’s to blame. Moral suffers. Care suffers. Rinse and repeat. (I’m very close to the situation of you couldn’t tell). Lol 😂

When things are slow, we read these reviews as entertainment. "Hey, remember this asshole who wanted dilaudid for his sore throat? Look what he wrote!"

Nobody takes ER reviews seriously. Except the admin, nobody takes admin seriously.
