We eventually make people happy in the ER. They come in hurting. They wait around until they are hurting and frustrated. Then we poke and prod at them so they are hurting, frustrated and bleeding. Then we give them Percocet and they leave stoned and smiling, thanking you for all your hard work. Another satisfied customer, ready to spread the word of the great care they received at Whidbey General.
