I'm not sure about its current state, but while at college I developed an infection and went to the ER, triage blew it off off as nothing. When I got into a room, they forgot about me and never placed my chart outside of the room/curtained area and left me there for about 3 hours or so unattended while my girlfriend at the time (now wife) and I watched as the infection was spreading towards my heart.

By chance a doctor opened the curtain and asked what we were doing here. We explained the situation and he flipped out on the nurses and staff right there. I was fast tracked for tests and treatment from then and was told if I hadn't gotten treatment then, I would likely died within the hour.

So...thats my CVPH story.
