Sure there aren’t any other places to go to?

Ouch. I’m so sorry.

At least out here in the Coachella Valley, Kaiser doesn’t have it’s own hospital but contracts with one of the best instead.

It’s one of those places where you see the gamut of humanity.

Glad you are on the other side of the story now… ug

I remember how awful it was in California hospitals, and that was a long time ago. I’ve been in ER several times in Canada, and they moved the crying people to a separate room.

Love your expression of taking it all in.

Not an easy scene to draw, but you captured it.

You sure love to draw puking.

You definitely captured the scene.

What a waiting room! It looks like something straight out of a nightmare. Really a powerful page, very impressive.

Oy vay!

A lot like that at GOSH in London. I thought a rotation would help me choose the ER as a speciality. You know, helping people on the front line and all that. Pædiatric Oncology was less stressful. And now the clinic is a lot like an ER at times. Glad you made it through. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for, and even stronger for telling us about it.

As is said…there’s a lot of pain and suffering in the world…but doctors are trained to ignore pain and suffering.

Tough crowd…… gives new meaning to the phrase : “Misery Loves Company” ㋡
