Thank you to the @ParkviewHealth Randallia ER staff for the EXCELLENT care I received today!
#MrClean was my nurse his humor was so needed, THANK YOU SIR. I wish I knew your name.
No lie I was TERRIFIED. I found bravery I didn't know I had.

I sat in the parking lot for 10 min. prep talking myself to go inside. More afraid of dying from the blood clot than #COVIDー19 But the ER sat oddly calm & quiet as though it was the middle of the night during the weekday. Not a soul but security in sight chit chatting meekly

Amongst other staff. They smiled with their eyes as I had tears in mine. I explained my GP had sent me & that they were concerned I had a blood clot in my right elbow..I seen quickly & taken back to a room. The halls again as desolate as the parking lot had been & mind you I'm at

The busiest ER in the city! YET, the ER has MB 5 ppl. I'M THANKFUL! I get seen quickly, efficiently & by ppl who genuinely were kind & wanted nothing more than to HELP me!!!! They had proper PPE ( I'm glad for their safety) @GovHolcomb Keep getting them that!

BUT, the points of all this, IF you need to see an ER...

GO SEE AN ER

DO NOT BE AFRAID!!!!!

I went, I know. GO. The "sick sick" ones you're afraid of, they're not there, they go somewhere entirely different. So, the ER can take care of actual ER issues, like my #BloodClot
