If that was the case at this hospital, the lady with the bleeding hand would have been sent in immediately. Instead this hospital decides to make her wait in the waiting room with no assistance.I find it sickening that EMT workers and the director of the night even has the audacity to belittle the man who couldn't speak english in my previous post and give me an attitude when I ask nicely that I want to leave. What kind of hospital hires those who can't show compassion to patients?

As an EMT i can tell that when we wheel patients in to the ER, even for pointless minor problems, (as required by law), they immediately jump to the front of the line if they come in lying down in the stretcher. If you walk in prepare to wait.
if you get wheeled in, you can save some time for sure.
SO for instance, if your having SOB or fever or some thing like that, you should have come in with an ambulance because they would not have been aloud to put you into a chair in the waiting room after that
Edith Isabel Rodriguez (February 1, 1964 - May 9, 2007) was a woman who died of gastrointestinal perforation at Los Angeles County's troubled Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital (King-Harbor) after being refused treatment by hospital staff, who did not believe she required urgent medical care.

I think the bottom line sadly is the location of the ER. I have been to a few ERs from Harbor UCLA to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach and there is a hugedifference between the two.

You know why that is right? Because they already got you for $500 for the ambulance ride.
