Took my grandchild in late at night suffering high degree of panic attack and anxiety. Doctor walked in and the first thing they said to my grandchild was - this isn't an emergency. You shouldn't come to the emergency department.
This teenager is nearing the end of their tether and has had enough. My grandchild hasn't been able to see anyone for weeks about it. To my grandchild it was an emergency and I believe the doctor showed no sympathy at all. Even some kind words would have helped. Didn't expect a miracle, but when a patient leaves in worst condition than when they arrived it's not right. If my grandchild had ended up hurting them-self I would have gone off at this doctor.
