It's awful. My husband went in and needed his heart checked to be sure he doesn't have a heart condition. They "admitted" him, which apparently to them means on a stretcher stuck in some random hallway all night. They promised him an Echo last night, it's now the next morning with no test. They just keep telling him "soon." He's next to a nurse's station and all they do is sit there and complain endlessly about patients, which is completely unprofessional. They are there to help people, not complain about it, especially not in front of patients. He asked his head nurse when he was getting the test and she said "I just checked." but really hadn't because she had just sat there complaining about a patient. He really needs these tests and instead is about to walk out because he's tired of their antics. He's only there because he works in D.C. and that's when he started having symptoms. Otherwise he'd be at Baltimore Washington in Glen Burnie, which in my opinion, is a MUCH better hospital.
