Update I went to the hospital......

General
So I decide it's time to go to the hospital to get this checked out because I just am not getting better.
Let me tell you just how fucked up a Quebec Hospital is.........
August 18th, around 1:30pm I get to the emergency entrance to the hospital. I take a number, wait my turn, see a nurse and then go and get signed in. So now I have a hospital bracelet on my wrist and I am sitting in the waiting area. that part took all of maybe 15 minutes or less. So now I'm just supposed to sit there with my mom and wait for my name to be called to see a doctor. Mind you I would only need to see a doctor for maybe 10-15 minutes and would be out again. shouldn't be difficult to get me in and out quick right? oh how untrue that is.....
August 19th around 2-3am STILL sitting there, waiting to be called. my throat is in absolute agony because I hadn't taken anything before hand before coming. I didn't want anything I took to counteract something a doctor wanted to give me. The nurse calls my name to check me out again to see how I'm doing, still in pain and it really seems like they don't care at all. I barely could eat and/or drink anything. the only thing I've had to eat was half a piece of toast because that's all my throat would allow me to have.
I've gotten very little sleep because the chairs are so uncomfortable. imagine a steel frame chair with crappy cushioning. but these chairs are linked together so you cant even move them closer together to lay on them better. the chairs were very similar to this. http://www.medical-supermarket.com/.....1cdab2726b.jpg
August 19th 6:40am My name FINALLY gets called to see a damn doctor. I go to the room they told me to go to. I sit there with my mom for maybe 5 minutes. The doctor comes in and checks me over. prescribes me some medicine, and then goes and sees a nurse. The nurse comes back and gives me what they called a shooter of medicine. basically it was a few different ones mixed together, not sure what exactly it was. So I take that and my mom and I leave. about a minute or so later my throat is feeling fantastic. Man i wish they could have just given me that instead of what they prescribed me xD
August 19th 7:00am I finally get home with my mom. I gave her my prescriptions for her to get it later, then we both go to our beds and pass out.
So in the end...it took me sitting in a super crappy uncomfortable chair in agony for 17 and a half hours before I even got to see a doctor for maybe 10-15 minutes

That's really unacceptable wait time, even for non-emergency care.
Hopefully it feels better soon.
