@dlssell I'm sorry you had such an awful experience in the ED, and glad you followed up with his primary provider. I do hope you reported the incident to the Patient Advocate. If it ever happens again, please do so, then the staff can get the proper education.
Since you waited until morning to bring your husband in, I will say we had better luck in an Urgent Care Clinic rather than a crazy, loud ED when my Mom was not feeling well. Is that an option where you live?
