I took my dad to the ER last night. I think I had my mind changed on what they are suppose to do. I think if you are going to the ER they are suppose to take care of your problem. Well I think I am now changing my mind on that purpose.
I think the ER is now a place that just deals with pain releivement. Last night they kept saying "our job is to get the pain to go away."
I'm thinking, no it's not, it to fix whatever is wrong. Not to mask what is wrong by taking the pain away.
They gave him a nitro drip and when that did not take the pain away they gave him Morphine. The nurse told him that he would feel the morphine take effect in about 5 seconds. So after 5 seconds the nurse said do you feel the medicine? He said no. 5 seconds later he said do you feel the medicine and dad said no. Then dad said oh I think I feel the medicine. I feel like "whoa". The nurse said yep that's the medicine.
