I had a painful and concerning visit to the holy cross ER a few days ago. Processing times were incredibly slow, it was more than an hour before I was given a bed. Over the course of a 9 hour visit in which I was diagnosed with pneumonia, I saw the PA for a total of 6 minutes. Though diagnosed with pneumonia, not a medical staff listened to my lungs while having me submitted for 2 CT scans and an X Ray. The staff seemed over worked (and likely under paid) and incredibly under motivated. This seems to have resulted in the deterioration of care at this facility. After receiving poor and inadequate support for my pain, i returned to the hospital in the middle of the night only hours after leaving. I waited another hour before a staff came to get me and requested that I go in for an x Ray. I already had my diagnosis, this was made clear as I handed back in all my paperwork. The disorganization of this hospital could result in increasingly harmful exposure for patients without adequate advocacy.
