When specifically asked about the ED, participants shared their experience. Nathan described the ED as, “same routine…they do vital checks, they ask you all the questions and the doctor sees you and you go from there. Nothing really out of line” (1. 163-166). After her overdose, Erica described her ED visit as “kind of scary” (1. 123)…they just checked my heart and said everything was fine” (1. 129-130). Taylor and Erica shared that the staff were nice and tried to lighten the mood for their patients. Ilana also reported that the staff made some jokes, and one nurse “made small talk with me” (1. 162-163). Ilana was embarrassed because she started to cry in front of the doctor. She reported that the staff asked about her physical well being but never questioned about her mental well-being or discussed her attempt while in the ED. Jennifer and Sarah also reported feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Sarah described her ED experience as “really intimidating.”
