My experience in the ER was good. I was taken to triage right away & the nures there did bloodwork, took my vital & got me over to x-ray pretty quickly. My 2 issues were the fact that neither triage nurse (it took 2 of them) did a good job taking blood or inserting my IV line, despite me telling them that I have small veins & need a small needle. My arms are really bruised because of it. And I know the ER was really busy, but I neded up having to be in a hallway in front of a cubicle, instead of in a cubicle, so I  heard the conversations of other patient's health issues with the EMTs, nurses & attending physicians who were treating them all around me & I'm sure they heard mine. The lack of privacy made me really uncomfortable!   Overall, it was a MUCH better experience than the last time I was there in 2022, where a CNA completely screwed up my IV insertion & blew out my vein, I had to wait 4 hours to be seen & then when I went up to the front desk to find out how long my wait would be, the nurse (who's name I didn't get) was incredibly rude & bitchy, telling me that this is what happens when people use the ER as a doctor's office & I should be a lot "nicer"... I can only assume she had been on her shift too long, because the way I was spoken to was totally disrespectful as someone who was scared, in pain & frustrated.
