We arrived at 6 pm with a burst appendix. Made to wait on the waiting floor for several hours. Begged for pain killer and anti-nausea meds. My son threw up three times on the waiting room floor, and while lying on the floor, he could not sit up. I had to run and get vomiting bowls and clean up the mess myself. After several hours, they got him to a bed, gave him anti-nausea medication. But no painkillers. Had to ask the doctor 3 times. Went to look for them. They were sitting at a desk, laughing with staff. I then informed the doctor we had no pain meds. They said they had been given. I told them he had thrown up 3 times and had nothing as I had explained to them previously. CT at 5 am. No antibiotics. Surgery at 12pm. I think this treatment was dangerous and disgusting..
