My doctor told me I was having mini strokes and had to go to the ER. Sat for 8 hours in the ER . There was a girl there a little younger than me telling them about the same exact symptoms I had. I finally had enough after they told me to wait for the eighth time, and stormed out.

Went home. Woke up blind. I had the stroke in my sleep that night. (1/10, don't recommend).

Then I had to go to three specialists before I could go back to the ER and be let into triage.

So, yeah. This comic is dead on accurate.

Holy shit, what hospital puts "risk of stroke" that low on the triage list?

I know when I went to the ER with aphasia and stroke-like symptoms I got seen nearly immediately. Like front of the line as fast as possible. I was getting a CT scan in like 30 minutes. So I think OP is either stretching the truth or didn't properly articulate their symptoms.

No not stretching the truth lol

Or maybe... Imagine this... Hospital quality can differ.
