My grandson had bad stomach pain and I feared appendix problems. I called his Dr. for an appointment but it would be 4 days to get in and was told take him to emergency. The wait was agonizing. I was repeatedly told that this was not a walk in clinic while my grandson doubled over in pain. They triaged the people in the waiting so no one would drop dead during the extremely!!!! long wait. the nursing staff tried to accomodate but they are trained in gate keeping also. The Dr. In the emergency was rude and arrogant to the point he made me feel i had done very wrong by bringing my sick grandson there. Are the doctors financial keepers for the government or are they doctors who are in place to help people who need medical help/big or small!!!!!! I fear the future doctors are being trained as gate keepers for the financial system and not as healers. I would like to thank the doc in the emergency room for rude abruptness and for making a hard task to an extremely difficult situation.
