After a lovely 2 hour wait at this hospital, the nurses wouldn't stop cracking jokes and saying some of the most inappropriate things I've ever heard coming from any professional environment. I wish I could say I heard it coming from the break room, but no it was directly towards me. Nurse said some pretty racy things, and specified that when I put the gown on I'd need to take my "bra and panties" off too, like, yeah I'm a grown adult I know how hospital gowns work.

I tell them my medical history and let them know that I go downhill very quickly and hospitals often assume there's nothing wrong with me when in fact there is something severe wrong -- assuming this would push them towards doing some extensive testing given my extreme pain level. But no, they check my ears, nose, and throat and then send me home with a prescription that could kill me. I never actually got to see a doctor either, only a nurse practitioner.

Not only was I made to feel uncomfortable the entire time, but I'm still in pain with no diagnosis and there was a horrible stench in the room. When asking about it, another nurse started laughing and began to explain what just went down before I was in the room. Pretty disgusting that something smelling that badly wasn't properly disposed of, but you leave it in the room for sick (potentially nauseous) patients to be exposed to.

Please don't go here. I had completely forgotten my horrible experience with this place as a child, and my experience tonight was a grim reminder. Don't waste a load of money coming to this place to be teased, misdiagnosed, and revolted by whatever they're letting lurk in the trashcans. I've never been so uncomfortable in my life.
