Had to stay with my mother over a weekend for coronary issues. How is there no hot water? We had to use baby wipes for three days, and staff seemed to treat it as no big deal. The subway in the caf gave my sister food poisoning. When my mom's i.v. drip ran out and started beeping it took me two hrs to find someone to shut it off: the nurses station was unmanned and pressing mom's call button did nothing. Thank God it wasn't a real emergency. My wife had an accident while we were there and wound up needing staples in her scalp. The emergency room was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen: there were gaping holes in the walls where equipment had been removed, the only object in the room at all was a couch like cot that had unsteady legs that made the whole thing wobble. I can understand undergoing renovations, I'm sure they need them badly, but if that is what was taking place then patients should be moved to safe, sanitary areas, not shoved in a room that's not completed... For myself and my loved ones I'll go elsewhere.
