Jan. 20, 2007 - Why I'd rather go to Speedy than the ER
Top Reasons I'd rather go to Speedy than the ER for my next kidney stone
1. At Speedy they recognize me, and know my car's model and make. I don't have to repeat this information half a dozen times after filling out forms with this same information several times
2. The waiting room is cleaner and larger
3. There aren't any people screaming obscenities
4. I can see the car while it is being worked on... (my family couldn't easily come back to see me in the ER)
5. They don't leave the car with the hood up and doors open out in the garage for five hours without looking at it
6. The technician at Speedy comes to tell me what is wrong with the car, and how much it will cost before they fix it
7. The diagnostic machines, mechanics, and parts are all in one place at Speedy. We don't have to wait for a technician in Australia to tell us what's wrong with the car
8. You'll never hear, "How about we just add some oil and antifreeze and see how long you can go before the engine really seizes up?" aka.."Let's just give you antibiotics and pain meds and see how you do"
9. If I tell them I think the oil is low, they don't scoff and try to sell me transmission fluid instead
10. At Speedy they know the difference between left and right (I went in with kidney stone pain on the left side and they told me it was my appendix)
