I swear all they do is boil tubes of super glue to kill the germs, then charge crazy rates for a squirt.

Here’s something for you. I too went to the ER at Fairview Riverside for my broomball injury. They used dermabond to glue my head wound shut. At the time, it was new technology. And I was all like “Shit yall, my brother-in-law’s brother has a shop Bulverde, Texas. He’s been supergluing his superficial wounds shut for years.”

Spending 2 hours in the Cedar-Riverside ER was an interesting experience. It was hilarious watching Ed being wheeled in the bed through the hospital while wearing his hospital gown. I could tell even the transport guy was trying not to laugh. The nurse asked if he wanted a blanket to cover his legs in the bed before we left the room (presumably for modesty), but he declined. At least he had his boxers on under his gown. Then, when we returned to the room, the nurse gave him a remote call-button (maybe in case he wanted another ride down the hall in his bed).

Cedar-Riverside. It didn’t seem very busy, but it certainly wasn’t fast. I should have slipped the triage nurse a $20.
