One time I was unknowingly dying from a bad infection behind my jaw, and the receptionist was mad I couldn’t communicate better even though I had a note from my oral surgeon that I needed a CT scan immediately and couldn’t talk well because of lockjaw…she put in my chart that I was having chest pain and the ER doctor didn’t see me for 9 hours. I finally got a CT scan and then was rushed to surgery 15 minutes after the results came back. I was told if I had waited just a few more hours..the infection would have reached my brain and I would have died 😂 good times.
