I took my sister-in-law here at the suggestion of her home nurse (she recently had a stroke). Her anxiety had become extreme and crippling, and she could not sleep. She was also "peeing" every 5 minutes--part of her anxiety. They did a urinalysis, EKG, and blood test. The young doctor came in and essentially told us he was going to discharge her with nothing. He referred us to her GP -- who had referred us to the neurologist, who referred us to the GP, who was on vacation, and here we were at the ER. Antianxiety medications and sleeping medications were "not in my wheelhouse," he told us. It's a shame that a hospital that size has literally no one this poor ignorant doctor could ask for advice when someone comes in in an emergency situation. I am not impressed.
