i went to the hospital on 10/18/19 thinking that this was a good hospital. when i went to the hospital i had a letter from my GI doctor stating that he thought i had a perforation in my intestine and that i needed a CT Scan along with antibiotics through an ivy. I was in the emergency room a good 2 hours before i was registered. Whenever i would ask a RN when would i be seen the response would be, give us a few minutes. i was finally registered when a medical student intervened. It was 8 hours later that i was taken for the CT Scan. It was 10 hours later that they gave me the morphine for the pain. i was poked 8 times in order to get my ivy line. the RN poked me 5 times, another nurse came and poked me one time and i requested that they use the ultra sound in order to get my vein. A doctor came with another intern or i don't know who and they were 1 hour trying to get my vein. It appeared that they did not know what they were doing. What a nightmare!! In all i was poked 8 times. It was at 10:30pm when they started me on the antibiotics that the doctor had written on his note and then at 1:30 am they discharged me from the hospital. They were in a rush to discharge. Had they done what they were suppose to do, i would not have been in the hospital for so many hours. Then they discharge a sick person at a time when is dangerous, what is wrong with their compassion and caring for the ill. I will never go to this hospital again and don't recommend it. Please go to a different hospital. I had a negative experience and believe me there is more about the hospital that i can say. The bathroom was filthy. During all the hours at the hospital no one kept me informed as to the delay or what was happening. The transporter, Sandy, had issues and an attitude. The doctor and the nurse were hardly seen by me. Not even a resident would stop by to let me know what was happening. This is not a hospital to go to, as the patient does not receive the best care. It lacks doctors to tend to the sick. I never saw a gastroenterologist in the ER and don't know if they have one.
