Nurse: * checks vital signs for the 11th time
Doctor#2: "patient James... you have herpes."
What makes my blood boil even more is when they make you wait so long but at the same time blatantly show you why that is the case. Staff is wandering around stalling time, GOSSIPING about girlfriend/boyfriend relationships , confused, literally skipping their tasks and doing as they please.
if you walk in with a minor paper cut or even an axe halfway through your skull, the wait time would probably be the same in this so called 'ER' facility. I'm surprised no one has created a skeleton meme about how long this place takes to treat patients but if they do it would probably go viral. i understand it's a Hh pff *cough*
"Your second doctor will be here shortly
Staff 2: "hi, I heard you're having some chest pain?"
I broke my hip and wrist. I came in through the er. I have to say from the moment I arrived the entire staff was caring, understanding and attentive. They made sure I was comfortable (pain wise). I had to wait 3 days for clearance for surgery due to the fact that I have cancer and the staff made my pain a priority. I was on the 3rd floor all of the nurses Nina, Sharon, Erica were wonderful as were the aids. Tony for my pt was wonderful as well. What was such a traumatic experience for me was made so much more tolerable by this great staff. I can not say enough. Thank you.
I wouldn't send a person with a gunshot wound to the head to this hospital. My 3 days there were completely miserable. A lack of communication between doctors and staff. The transporter threw my gound on my bed did not know why I was being transported, and did not ask my name or tell me his. Also I wasn't diagnosed or told the cause of my problem. I was given medicine to calm down the pain but not help it long term. When I asked questions the doctors were unsure! Which was upsetting I'm not a guinea pig. After three days of nonsense I discharged myself. Later in the week I was called for the same ultrasound appointment that I made a fuss about. When I got downstairs the staff on that floor did not know why I was there and had me sitting in the hallway because the transporter did not communicate with the nurses I was there. So I was confused as to why I received a phone call to schedule an appointment for something I made a fuss about, meaning that appointment was done while I was there. On top of that I receive a phone call today saying I was schedule to come in tomorrow for a medical appointment when I asked the lady for what she was unaware. However, during the conversation she kept cutting me off! And then she hung up on me after I asked her to let me finish my question.
Staff 3: "yo what are you in for again?"
The staff throughout this hospital is rude, the care is horrible, the towels smelt and the bathroom in my room was dirty! Never again!
***James dies R.I.P
Doctor: * takes 2 minutes to diagnose
Then they turn evil. You will be asked the same darn questions over and over and over again by so many different people and the time is drastically increased in intervals each time a new random person walks in. sometimes you might even get those poor young interns for which you can end up being the lab rat for. Even boring squidward would not find this place attractive with the crappy tv, boring tv channels and no vending machines for some snacks at least maybe? The visitor will probably die before the actual patient.

I am not sure what is going on in your hospital. I have a family member in your hospital right now. Myself and other family members (we are not in NYC) have been trying to speak to someone for 2 days to get an update as to how our family member is doing. When "I can" get through to the operator which is maybe 1 out of 4-5 attempts, I ask for the nurses station on the 6th floor. If I am lucky enough to get through to the nurses station I ask to speak to the doctor or nurse who is in charge of my family members case I am put on hold. After a few minutes I get dead air. My family member has voiced that her care is not up the standards of the ethical codes and protocols as dictated by the AMA. Something needs to be done about this.
Staff 1: "so you have chest pain right?"
