3. just idle curiosity: "ridiculous waiting times"?
Edited on Mon Jun-21-10 02:02 AM by iverglas

(edited because I really can spell "curiosity")


Which were they?

The 10 minutes he waited in the ER last night before being seen by a doctor?

The 30 minutes he hung around waiting for the callback for an opinion as to whether he should go straight to the other hospital for surgery, or wait 9 hours til the clinic opened for regular Sunday hours?

The 11 hours he waited (from time of arrival at ER, including the hour he delayed going himself next day) before being seen by a doctor at that clinic? Which might not have happened at all if he hadn't pitched a fit and left the first hospital when there was no callback w/in 30 minutes, after midnight on a Saturday night ...

The 6 more hours he waited, after the doctor and surgeon completed their examinations, their advice and explanations, and obtaining consent, to be taken into the OR?


I'm not interested in the basis of your allegation that it (whatever "it" is) wasn't "done right", since you plainly haven't the slightest clue. Just wondering what ridiculous waiting times you had in mind.
