Might have taken the concussion too leisurely

At the ER right now wish me luck that my brain isn’t bleeding

Y’all might be worried about me but this ER definitely isn’t.

Been here for 5.5 hours after getting triaged, 2 of them in a completely empty waiting room

I really want to go home and risk complications at this rate cause they are clearly not gonna bother with a scan

@mariyadelano I’m so sorry you’re back to such a time just trying to take care of yourself :(

ianrosewrites,

@mariyadelano Holy shit. Our system is such a nightmare. Take care.

Husband tried to talk to registration desk. They said they’d been waiting for a room to open up because they’d been getting so many ambulances.

I would understand that if we didn’t live in a tiny city and we didn’t see 6-7 patients come in way after us with pretty minor issues and then get back out hours ago. The staff here’s just been hanging out gossiping

And they refused to tell us the triage fee that we’d have to pay it we would walk out

Exact words: “nobody knows the cost”

ianrosewrites,

@mariyadelano Trying to think of a more banality of evil phrase than "triage fee". I've got nothing. Jesus, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of us.

@ianrosewrites it really is banality of evil! One could write an entire Kafkaesque novel about that waiting room

@mariyadelano God, that sounds horrific. Sorry you're going through it. xx

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@DJDarren yeah, it was tough

@mariyadelano did they ID you or otherwise get your data somehow? If they didn't, they have to catch you to bill you. So you can just walk and take the chances 🤷‍♀️

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@hazelweakly unfortunately they did get my data 😭

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano nooooo 😭😭

egaal,

@mariyadelano That sounds both awful and very typical of our sub-optimal healthcare system. Hope you get the care you need.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@egaal yeah, we read the reviews for that hospital and… I got off easy. There were people who walked out after 10+ hours without being seen 😱

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

Woohoo got seen by a doctor and now waiting for a CT scan

We are at 7 hours and 20 minutes since I got admitted to the ER 🥲

But at least they’ll now make sure I don’t die

Also the doctor keeps checking up on me while I wait, so that’s good. He’s nice. I like him.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

Final update: it is now 6 am,
8 hours after getting to the hospital.

I am officially not bleeding in my brain 🎉🥳🎊🍾🧠

But I am concussed so I should try to Mastodon less

And definitely avoid laundry. No more extreme sports for me 😩

@mariyadelano

Yay, happy to hear you are relatively OK.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@CartyBoston thank you! Me too. 😅

aronow,
@aronow@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano rest up and take care of yourself!

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@aronow thank you! Trying to do so 😩

johnmu,
@johnmu@mastodon.social avatar

@mariyadelano OMG that sounds terrible (the process). I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up and it's (hopefully) nothing serious. The US healthcare system scares me like few other things, everytime I visit the US.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@johnmu yeah it was…. Something. I assume Switzerland is much better with all of this stuff 😅

jeromechoo,
@jeromechoo@masto.ai avatar

@mariyadelano I hate our medical system with an undying passion. So sorry you're having to deal with this. Please take care of yourself, we'll hear from you again when you're better!

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@jeromechoo Yeah, the medical system here has been VERY good to me so far but I hadn’t been to the ER before

I’m on good insurance so I’ve been very privileged and yeah… it made me realize that privilege even more experiencing some of the horror

I’ll still be on here semi actively cause I’ve been cleared to use screens during the day a bit!

Just not allowed to look at lights once the sun is down

amandanat,

@mariyadelano What the heck?! Please take care of yourself, Mariya. Wishing you a smooth recovery.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@amandanat thank you, Amanda 😭

It’s been a rough couple days

rlux,
@rlux@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano yeah, do@not@mess around with those. Hope they see you swiftly.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@rlux thank you! They did not see me swiftly even remotely but thankfully I am mostly fine 😅

rlux,
@rlux@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano My experience was very similar to yours. Many hours of waiting before finally getting a scan & told I didn't have a brain bleed. Took a couple of days for the nausea and tiredness to go away.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@rlux I hope it’s just gonna be a couple of days! It’s been 5 days since my head injury and I keep losing my vision and getting twitches and such

Not to mention the confusion weakness and headaches 😭

rlux,
@rlux@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano Head injuries are nothing to fuck around with. It can take time. It sucks, but you can't rush the healing.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@rlux yeah… I am trying to accept it

eARCwelder,
@eARCwelder@mastodon.social avatar

@mariyadelano Good luck, hoping it works out ok

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@eARCwelder thank you! It kinda did. No brain bleeding but I did not get back home until 7 am

collin,
@collin@ruby.social avatar

@mariyadelano oh no! I hope you’re okay.

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@collin thank you! Turned out to be okay as far as concussions go 😅

liztai,
@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano omg I hope it is nothing. Do take care and rest well if needed!

mariyadelano,
@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

@liztai thank you! It was mostly nothing, as far as concussions go. No brain bleeding, just good old brain swelling 😅😅

liztai,
@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

@mariyadelano That's really good to hear. Do take it easy the next few days. Concussions are no joke 😊
