While I feel sorry all around for the situation, how exactly will suing help prevent this from happening again and also who was the negligent party here?
I don't like the long wait times either, but in the end I can't complain because when I went through triage I was deemed to be less important than others, and that I'm fine with. I ended up waiting in the ER for 7 hours with both of my arms frozen in position and a tingly feeling in my entire body. Pretty scary at the time, but they recognized the symptoms as non life threatening.
