My wife had to have her gall bladder removed around 2007, I took her to the emergency, she was in complete agony, and then spent 5 to 6 days literally in the hallway of the emergency department, finally getting into a semi private room, where she spent another 7 days while the idiot surgeon dithered about whether or not to do the surgery, meantime she can't eat anything, drank very little water or tea. Dr. finally did a laparoscopic procedure late one night,and sent her home barely 12 hours later. She spent 3 weeks at home recovering before she was able to go back to work.
