I was taken care of by a nurse practitioner. I never saw a doctor. I understand how busy the nurses & doctors are; however, I spent 10 hours in the ER. During this time I was given 2 ibuprofen, then I sat in a wheelchair in the waiting room for a couple of hours before being seen by the nurse practitioner. After that I was moved to triage, had 2 separate X-rays, saw a physical therapist & given a muscle relaxer. While my condition isn't critical this could have been treated in 4 hours or less. The staff was courteous & professional.
