ED Visit (Update)

Rereading the entry, we wanted to clarify some things.  The hospital itself was quite clean considering it was the emergency department.  The people were courteous and friendly.  The waiting room was actually "cleaned" twice while we waited (2 hours).  But there is not much that can be done when a sniffling kid wipes her nose and then touches the chairs or little kids run around the room while coughing (not covering their mouths).  

In truth, the most frustrating part was watching the parents.  As an adult, you should have learned to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.  It's not that hard to remember!  But maybe it was too much to ask considering we saw a couple not realize the toddler they brought to the ED was missing for 10 minutes before they looked for her!!!  She was playing with some other children a few rows behind them.
