I was in the ER at Montgomery General in Olney, MD on a night like that several years ago.
The head nurse that night made a huge impression on me with her ability to handle excessively stressful situations.
Drunks, dopers, and chronic pain sufferers seeking meds seemed to be the majority and most obnoxious customers.
Screaming children accompanied by a mother & several siblings with non-life threatening conditions seemed to rank second.
Several DIY'ers with self inflicted wounds of one sort or another. (Me included
)
A small percentage of very old & frail people, most by themselves. Various conditions, non of which were obvious as I lay & waited my turn. These folks arrived in ambulances, presumably from nursing homes. Very sad.
I'm determined to stay the hell out of that place!
