If I could give negative stars for service I would. The ONLY thing great about this hospital is the quality of their nursing staff. The rent a docs they have in the ER spend most of their time wandering around aimlessly from patient to patient and literally do nothing except say I will be back

If you think that you will get the kind of quality service you expect from NYP Manhattan, think again. You won t be treated as a human being. You will be left in the hallway for literally hours. You will ask someone for information and they won t be able to provide an answer. Again the nurses and techs here are WONDERFUL and make it possible to tolerate the endless hours of mindless waiting for someone to read a CT or call a surgical consult. The rent a docs don t even bother to EXAM YOU but I m sure they re billing Medicaid and Medicare for thousands of dollars in procedures.

It is now going on nine hours and so far the nurses and techs are trying to get answers. The docs? Nowhere to be found. Perhaps they re just dragging the time past midnight in order to bill for two days of care.

I am marching straight into my state Assemblyman s office in the morning- they re doing hearings on the state of hospital care. They need to know just how hospitals, especially this one, interprets that term.
