Wait time at LSU
I rally think LSU needs to do something about the wait time in their ER. I went out there yesterday and at 8:30 pm I gave up and came home without see a doctor. While I was there 2 other people and I were put in a seperate waiting room from the main waiting. The man had came in at 8:00 am with chest pains at 8:00 pm he was still waiting to see a doctor. The woman had came in at 10:00 am with her sugar running 500. At 8:00 pm she was still waiting to see a doctor. I don't care what that hosiptal says there is no REASON why people should have to sit 12 to 20 hours wating to be seen. This is rediculous. I'm not bad mouthing the workers but something definately needs to change. I do know that while I was there that the other two people were only checked on once and that was at 5:30 pm. Both other people were hungry and thristy because the workers didn't want them to eat until a doctor checked them. I know LSU is a busy place but pleassse. It is rediculous. They say on weekends the wait time could be more than 24 hours. What is going to happen is someone will die on the floor in the waiting room before someone steps up.

granted some people are there for an emergency... and then some aren't ... There are far less wait times at some of the other hospitals in town. |

You get what you pay for. If you were able to leave without dying why did you go to the emergency room in the first place?

Well I went for chest pains too. But I gave up. I guess if I was goung to die home would have been better than the floor of the ER. I know a lot of people with insurance that have to use LSU too. That is where the burn unit is. So I guess you think LSU is just for the poor. Well don't get burned or you will get what you PAIDED FOR.

The trick to this place is you have to tell them you think you are having a stoke or a heart attack. They will see you pretty quick. You could also shoot yourself and go in there covered in blood.

That hospital services all of this part of the state and some of Texas and Arkansas. Maybe we should tell them to build their own hospital uh. So yes they have a large number of people who use it. As I told Joe that is where the burn unit is. God help you and Joe if you ever need to go there.
