I brought my 10 year old daughter with Type 1 diabetes to the ER. I was afraid that after staying over a friend's house that her blood sugar levels were elevated for a while and that she may have been in DKA. The ER was packed. We waited for approximately an hour and a half before I checked my vomiting child out of the hospital because I knew that she would not have gotten seen anytime soon and took her to Mitchell County Hospital where she was seen immediately to ultimately get transferred to Tallahassee Memorial for treatment. DKA is life threatening. I thought that the more emergent cases get seen first, unfortunately not. I give 2 stars because the nurse there was nice and I could tell that she felt bad for the poor service of her hospital. Maybe Phoebe needs to stop being a monopoly, because they are going to cost patients their lives.
