Had a rough night!

Is the Dorn VA close to you & they are a VA hospital that receives ambulances 😳😳 very few VA/ER’s are receiving emergency rooms

they did not even take the person to a bed & code then there but instead did it in the waiting room 😳😳

I’m sure you know that you can go to a closer civilian hospital/ER if you want to in an emergency & that all you need to do is call the VA within 72 hours as well as telling the admissions clerk the VA will be paying the bill 

sounds like a really rough night, hopefully your young bride is doing better & you get a good nights sleep 

Dorn is where she goes for her regular medical stuff. It's about a 15 minute drive from my house. They accept veterans for emergency treatment. The paramedics said they'd been working on her for 30 minutes. The ER staff worked on her for about 15 minutes before they called it. I watched and listened from the exam room we were in. They tried really hard.

The VA has been trying to get rid of emergency departments & just do urgent care stuff

The VA here was slated for expansion as it’s only got 3 beds & 2 exam rooms. They had the blueprints & budget and construction was scheduled to begin 

9 years later they still have not started & nobody knows anything about a remodel & they are still stacking people in the halls in hospital beds stolen from other units 

Had one vet popping a nitro pill every 5-10 minutes drive over 100 miles to us going right past 2 level 2 trauma center’s. I hooked him up & he had a STEMI & we shipped him across town stupid fast to the hospital he drove right past…..
