Although much work has been done to reduce wait times in the Emergency Rooms, the article that appeared on the CBC news site clearly states that we still have a problem.
Wishing that things were different is not enough so preparing for the ER visit is your next best defence. Before leaving for the hospital or once you arrive, ask a family member to bring items that will make your stay more comfort.
- Bring a book, ipod or laptop that can play movies to pass the time
- Bring food, water and any medications that may be required prior to admission
- Also bring pillows and a blanket....better safe then sorry
Seek medical help if you need it but make sure you make your stay as comfortable as possible.
