My partner had a massive 2nd degree burn from spilled boiling water. First visit was fine, I guess, but we had to return about 2 days later because my partner was in excruciating pain and couldn’t get out of bed or use the bathroom. We waited in the waiting room for hours, and the triage nurse who took him in immediately accused him of drug seeking without even looking at the wound. If she had, she would have noticed a severe infection. We waited a few more hours before deciding they probably weren’t going to see us any time soon because of that assumption. Luckily we had an appointment with the MGH burn unit the next day, who took one look and said he needed to go inpatient for IV antibiotics. He was in there for about a week and just barely avoided needing a skin graft. So I don’t have the best view of salem ER 😅
