I was checked in at 1PM on September 9, 2020, due to a car accident and was left waiting to see a doctor until around 7PM. I wasn't offered any of food as trays was passing me about. They put me along with a lot of patient's in the halkway, where medical staff passed us about like we were problematic for being there. They walked all around us as though we didn't exist. They even brough in patient's into the Emergency room, and was to social distance them 5 feet away from other patients, but left them 2 feet apart. I question an EMT who left a patient covered in thick black hives to distance the patient, but she got offended telling me that she was going to move him when they told her where to put him. She went over to the Nursing Station, and starting talking and laughing with them for awhile before moving him him out of my direct presence. She walked back over to me with a insensitive smirk on her face. I witnessed Medical Staff sitting at their work station's neglectful of patient's that was either on stretchers in hallways or in rooms for lo g hours. They left me on a stretcher in the hallway for several hours claiming they were waiting on somebody to come to get me from Imaging Center to take a Cat scan. They left me there until they changed shifts, and the same possess started all over again. I told the Nurse who took over that I needed my discharge papers, because I had been there since 1PM, and still had not been taken to imaging yet. Another hour went by, and a unit tech on that floor took me, and a Hispanic who had been crying on a stretcher was made to get up and follow up to thevimmaginf center. He had consistently complained about stomach, and other problems that they had assisted him with that didn't work. The test was taken, but we were lied to about the results taken 15 minutes which took another 2 hours. I was still not offered anything to eat, but a doctor sent me two pain pills on an empty stomach. After placing an uncomfortable neck brace on me, she retired to her wirkstation, and stayed home so long that that when she passed by me I thought she was gone home for the day. I was aware how Nurses treated their patients down there, but was not aware of the doctor's neglectfulness. I didn't get discharged out of Grady until almost 11:00PM when I got there at 1PM. I feel like if I didn't speak up I would have still been down there in that hallway right now. I witnessed many people getting up, and walking out of the hospital. However, my husband cane there with me, because he was in the accident along with my daughter. They imm4 took him to Gramma Unit, assigned him to take a Cat Scan, left in hallway from 1PM, and didn't put him in a from until 5:00AM this morning. He was admitted due to major complications, and were told that he was going to receive great care. Well, he has congestive heart failure, and kidney failure and wasnt6 even offered a sandwich. He had not even since 9AM, and he was given a urinal to use in a hallway when anybody could have witnessed his private business. Grady has created a System that's unpredictable, and seems to place patient's at a higher risk of failure, diseasess, and total neglect due to lazy confortabilities of positions. My daughter wasn't even offered a Cat Scan Test by a different team of Medical squards, who seemed more interested in small talk and quite exits. She was called to the back after waiting several hours, and returned in 35 minutes. Also, the air was so cold in Grady that if you wasnt6 sick prior to entering it would be a Miracle to walk out of there not. I know it's a free hospital but what happened to being sound about humanity, because I found Grady to treat patient's in an inhuman practice.
