Acute respiratory distress aka punctured and collapsed lung was the only reason I was there in the first place. Correct I don't know what was in the exam rooms, but what has that to do with not even looking at the transfer papers and my cooling my heels in the lobby? I've been in far busier ER's where someone at least put me on a rolling bed and found something for pain.
But you really should understand that waiting in the lobby isn't what I've been complaining about. I haven't complained about ANY of the medical treatment there.
