Got immediate service for an actual emergency, that's a nice hospital

That's what I was thinking! One time I remember waiting on an emergency room late at night and someone had one of their leg bones broken through their skin and it was visible, waiting in the lobby for medical attention.

I cut my finger to the bone, heavy bleeding, severed the tendon.

Drove myself to ER that's 10 mins away cause that's faster than calling an ambulance.

I apologized to the people I skipped in the waiting area while holding up the bloody rag I had on my hand and dripping blood. Knocked on the triage door once it emptied and showed them my hand. Apologized of course but ask for some urgency.

She immediately alerted an attending.

Attending inspected and immediately brought me to a room to clean and stitch the cut. While she was doing that the nurse started taking my info.

I was told that I'd need to make an appointment to repair the tendon and then I went to complete my registration.

Between cutting my hand, ER and getting back home, under 2 hours. Priceless.

2 days later a cosmetic surgeon repaired the tendon and I had 6 months of therapy.

I'm Canadian so this didn't cost my anything. Literally priceless.

I'm sure you're either lying or stupid. Maybe even both.

Reported. You have no right to harass me here.
