I had to get treatment u0026 injections after getting attacked by a wild dog. It left me with open wounds in my leg, also I needed rabies treatment. Upon arrival the staff placed me on a stretcher with a plastic surface that already had big brown and red blood stains on it - and those definitely weren't mine! I'm so glad I was conscious enough to keep the injured parts of my leg up in the air. I had to keep my leg propped up the whole time I was in the ER, all through examinations, wound treatment and rabies shots into the wounds. Nobody offered a clean examination table, although I specifically asked for it.
Staff spoke almost no English, but that's fair enough. Treatment of wounds went ok, however they didn't use any anaesthesia on wounds that definitely would have needed some. This seemed to be a pattern, I saw other patients in the ER who could have used painkillers but weren't given any during their treatments either - even kids!
All in all they do their job in keeping you alive, but be aware of really poor hygiene and rough handling in the ER.
