Do you or anyone you know work full time and are passionate about a sport they play on the side? Then I want to interview you for a video project!!! I’m not looking for the stereotypical accountant who plays ZOG dodge ball, but someone who is an ass…

The only way they will take you quickly @ Mount Sinai is if you are having chest pains or are bleeding and in need of stitches. If you have to visit someone who is in the emergency room security is rude & tries to rush you out even if it is a "loved…

Hi guys! Thank you all so much for the response! Did any of you out there have swine flu and go to the Mount Sinai Hospital in Queens? I want to interview you about your experience! Thank you so much! ;)

I wouldn't have been so confident that I was in the right if I hadn't had friends who warned me that hospitals do this commonly - So far I have been billed for the doctor who saw me, the x-ray doctor, and the hospital visit, separately! And each of…

This happened to me also...and from the same hospital. I had gotten one bill from the hospital itself and one from the intern doctor who spent 10 minutes with me out of the 6 hours I was there ($161 for 10 minutes of his time...but not only that, th…

I did a bike marathon with bronchitis so I had to go in to the emergency room because I was having a really hard time with the illness afterward. I went during a week day, around noon, and didn't seem to wait too too long (although I was a bit out o…

Hi Anti- Thanks so much for your story! Are you available to chat anytime tomorrow? I'm pretty flexible so whatever works for you I will try my best to accommodate. If you're not free to meet I'm down to chat on the phone or email questions, so wh…

I recently admitted myself to MSHQ's Emergency room 2 months ago for a Skateboarding accident. I checked myself in at around 9pm on a Sunday in late April. This is during the big Swine Flu pandemic. There were a few people in the waiting room wearin…

sure I have no problem with that, although you'd probably be better off talking to the people who actually experienced it. I can put you in touch with them as well. Send us a message here at WLA with your contact info and when/where you would want t…

Thank you SO much for your info on this subject. Would you mind if I asked you some more questions and quoted you in my article? I think you have 2 very solid stories I'd like to use to frame my article. Thank you so much in advance! Melissa

Also, The guitarist of illimanjaro went to the emergency room for something with his finger. He checked in and waited about an hour and a half in a seemingly empty waiting room. Finally he went up to the desk and asked what was going on. After that,…

My roommate had something wrong with his legs about a year and a half ago. They were swollen with welts and he couldn't walk. I brought him to the emergency room. They took him in and kept him there for 5-6 days. In that time he said he saw maybe 9…
