Good Prognosis:

*       Your doctor hasn’t seen you yet, and you’ve been waiting for (insert
average wait time) hours.
*       You’re in a bed in the hallway.
*       Your complaint consists of “months” or “years” of
pain/nausea/headache/X Y Z.
*       You’ve come to the emergency department for a second opinion,
despite multiple subspecialist evaluations.
*       You answer yes to every symptom the doctor asks you about.
*       You get a blood draw, but no IV.
*       The only medication you’re given is tylenol.
*       Your doctor says the words “probably” and “virus” in the same
sentence.
*       You are talking on your cellphone, playing a game, or chit-chatting.
*       You are talking on your cellphone, playing a game, or chit-chatting
and the doctor has to ask you to stop.
*       You “just wanted to get it checked out.”
*       Your primary care doctor sighs on the phone when the emergency
physician calls him or her.

Bad Prognosis:

*       You get not one, but two IVs.
*       You remark, as my GI bleeder did last night, “Boy, I’ve never been
to a hospital so attentive and efficient!”
*       You get your own personal doctor to take you to the CT scanner.
*       Multiple doctors, nurses, and staff greet you in your room.
*       The triage nurse walks you to your room and points at you while
speaking to the doctor.
*       You get a room all to yourself.
*       You get a monitor.
*       Your monitor keeps beeping, even though you’re not doing anything.
*       Your doctor keeps checking on you.
*       Your doctor sticks a finger in your bottom.
*       You don’t argue with the doctor about getting this treatment or that
one.
*       You are kind, good-natured, and have been a good person in this
life.
