Ok... I had both babies in this hospital with the most awesome experience!
The E.R.? Total Different Story! My husbands took me with sever chest pain and numbness on my left side. Was in an out of consciousness and couldn't get my breath. Not bragging but we don't in any way look like druggies.
Rude doesn't even begin to explain how they acted. They told my husband to wait his turn and took several others back ahead of us that were laughing and joking.
Thankfully., my problem was severe chest wall muscle spasms. After 8 hours of waiting. No I.V. for 3 hrs, no heart monitors/EKG for 2 hrs. I really would have died had it been a heart attack. We were in the midst of calling an ambulance to take me to another hospital when they finally began showing a small amount of interest.
It was the most Horrible experience of my life!
I realize there are many people who use the ER that have no business being there but that doesn't mean we're all "bad" or "drug seekers". Never ever take your loved one here! It was a joke and you were made to feel like the crumb of the earth! That's no understatement! I'm a 36 yr old woman that never needs ER tx and believe me I'll drive 30 miles further to be seen else where. Im sure there are deaths that are happening there that shouldnt be!
