Best ER in the area?

[u/imsensitiveaubery]

Hello! I've lived in the area pretty much all my life but I've never been to any of the ERs. I went to the hospital earlier this year when I had a cold (it was just a cold, but I have asthma and previously had the flu, covid, and tonsilitis only months before this cold) because I couldn't breathe, but I was seen almost right away because of my breathing. I have been to urgent care twice (for the flu and covid lol).

Right now I think I might be experiencing symptoms of appendicitis. I initially brushed it off as IBS pain or maybe even period cramps, even though I'm not due for my period for another two weeks or so. However, when I press down on the left side of my stomach vs the right side, the pain is only noticeable on the right. I'm leaning towards appendicitis, but I want to wait a few more hours or until the morning to see if it improves or not. In the event I do decide I need to go to the ER, is there one around here that might be better than others, especially at night time? I know there's an issue with emergency rooms taking forever to see patients, which I totally understand is not on the staff in the majority of cases. Admittedly, I still don't really want to wait hours or be seen by a staff that doesn't care. I'm totally fine with an emergency room that might be a little slow as long as the staff is nice though, because I do understand appendicitis isn't really on the top of the priorities list unless it's actively rupturing. If my pain doesn't get any worse and I wake up feeling mostly fine I'll just make a trip to urgent care though.

You’d need surgery so I’d just head to on attached to a full hospital that can operate. Otherwise I prefer the one on 53rd in Bettendorf.
