The Emergency Room at Swedish/Issaquah

Lea had a headache for the last week that would not go away.  Last night, she had a slight fever and chills.  Deciding enough was enough, we went to the emergency room at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah driving right by Overlake and Group Health in Bellevue on the way.

She was taken back to an examination room before she finished handing over her insurance card.  Within 30 minutes, an MD talked with her and prescribed three headache medicines by pill.  Lea took those, listened to me read my latest Barbara Frederichs book, Love 2.0, and napped for 30 minutes.  On awakening, her headache was gone.  Another 30 minutes of waiting to be sure she was okay and 30 minutes for the paperwork and we were out of there. 


We are grateful for multiple medical choices and powerful medications to help us in our time of need.
