This hospital is the nearest to me so i ended up taking my younger brother here for breathing problems. Once we were inside the ped ward there was only two nurses that were attentive to the patients there. The nurse that was assigned to us was sitting behind the desk for hours just chatting and looking bored. When he finally came into exam my brother he looked like he did not want to be there. It was a physicians assistant that attended to him. Then he ordered he get an xray and a ecg. The nurse techinician that performed the ecg looked really ederly she told my little brother that he needed to shave before coming to the hospital because hes really hairy and it makes it harder for the staff. Who does that hes a 16 year old going through puberty whos sick how was he going to have time to shave. After she performed the ecg she nodded her head and said that he needed to lay off of pepper and spicy food so I responded saying he doesnt eat that kind of food so she again repeated the same thing without even giving a reason why she would say that. They didnt prescribe him anything and told him to take motrin for pain. Worst hospital suprised i didnt die when i got appendix removed here. There needs to be better hospital staff because its hard for people who live in the area to go anywhere else but here
