CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

Child comes first

You'd think so, wouldn't you ...

The last time I went to an ED, it was because I managed to drop something really heavy on my foot and my foot blew up inside my steelcapped boot. I thought it may be broken but X-Rays showed later that this wasn't the case. While I was waiting, the nurse would periodically come up and ask whether there was any pain but I reiterated it only hurt to walk and otherwise I had hardly any pain. Meanwhile, a steady flow of other patients came in. One guy had cut his hand open with an angle grinder and had it wrapped up with a bloody cloth. I thought for sure he'd jump ahead of me and I wouldn't have had any problem with that. But I was called up before him. That made me wonder about the triage system!
