I remember waiting in emergency with my jaw hanging open because it had been bashed by a jack handle at work. I was waiting and waiting in extreme pain to get seen by a doctor and person after person (escorted by police) were bypassing me
to see the doctor that had some kind of drug issue.

One of them was even cursing the doctor because he wanted a doctor he was familiar with from earlier drug episodes.
I remember getting very angry and threatening to trash the place unless I was seen.

I couldn't believe a working man injured in an accident couldn't get seen because the priority were the drug overdosed that had screwed themselves up. They could have a life threatening situation but you're just in pain so just wait for an opening, I was told. What BullShit!!
