I am sorry that happened to you. ER is always a crapshoot. I've been treated very well and very shabbily. No way to predict, except weekends and holidays are never good times to go to ER.
Doctors and nurses are generally very professional no matter what is happening around them. ER staff are so vulnerable to PTSD themselves they have seen It in themselves or each other. Security guards in the little lock sown suicide watch part have been very kind to me. They know what PTSD is too. It's the undereducated and inexperienced, overconfidant and undercompetent desk people and mental health social worker types who need to be replaced with service dogs and robots.
