As a nursing student, I would not recommend going to the ER here. I would take the time to drive 20 minutes to Miami Valley in Centerville. I took my friend to the ER last night and we waited an hour to get her in a bed. She was in visible pain when we walked in and yet another girl went in before us who looked as if she just had a cold. They do not seem to care about who is in more critical pain and just who got there first. Once we got a bed she was given a thin blanket and was told to take her clothes off and get into a gown. Luckily we knew they had heated blankets so we requested to get some. An hour passed until she received them. The nurse took blood and urine that was supposed to be tested. We never saw those results. We were also placed next to a lady who had been violently throwing up for the entire 6 hours we were there. The nurse even admitted to us that, that was her room yet she had not been in there for hours. Hearing the lady consistently throwing made my friend also throw up. Around midnight my friend was taken in for a CT scan and we waited 30 minutes for results that they said were negative. Today she got a call saying that she has a severe kidney infection, blood in her urine, a cyst on her kidney and a distended gallbladder. They sent her home with only nausea medication and Advil. Her family doctor had to call her and tell her what the she had been diagnosed with. The nurse asked us what we were going to school for and when I said nursing she immediately tensed up and disregarded what I had said. She knew that I knew what procedures should be done and how someone should be cared for. The doctor, Dr. Balonier, was the one to come in to discuss the CT scan and he did not seem to care at all. He was in and out within 2 minutes. I had to stop him so I could ask a question. Usually they would ask if we had any questions before being discharged. This was an all around terrible experience and I was able to see all of their flaws. Take he time and go somewhere else!!!
