Don’t have an emergency in California!
January 2nd, 2012
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I had a really bad asthma attack when I was in Los Angeles on business. Since my inhaler was back at the hotel room, I eventually ended up at the hospital. The whole emergency room was full. Nobody looked bad off. There were a couple of people that looked injured, but mostly people who just had the sniffles. The doctor who gave me my albuterol treatment said that if people don’t have health insurance in California, a lot of times they come to emergency rooms for stuff like colds and the flu. The emergency room can’t turn them away, but now they’re all crowded and what happens to real emergencies?
