The absolute worst hospital I've ever been to. I went into their ER a week ago while visiting D.C. after a kidney stone flare up in extreme pain. The doctors there were not helpful at all, very dismissive and literally told me to my face that they did not believe I was suffering from kidney stones (even though I have a history and was displaying the appropriate symptoms) because I "didn't have blood in my urine" (as if that's the only symptom one must display for it to be stones) and instead told me it was either food poisoning, a UTI, or indiciative of an STD such as chlamydia or ghonorrhea. They sent me home with absolutely NOTHING for pain and told me to buy Ibuprofen (the worst medicine to prescribe someone with stomach issues). Once I got back to North Carolina a few days later (still in pain because the Ibuprofen did not help much) I went to the ER down in Chapel Hill where the doctors immediately recognized my pain as that from kidney stones, did a quick CT scan (which the "doctors" at MedStar refused to do because of the radiation [although the UNC doctors confirmed the increase in cancer risk was only .25%] and found SIX 5mm KIDNEY STONES IN MY URETER for which they scheduled surgery with a local urologist to remove. The "doctors" at MedStar are incompetent, dismissive, lazy, and insensitive and they will not out much effort into listening to you or trying to heal your ailments. Their bedside manner was absolutely horrendous for someone going through extreme pain and ruined the rest of my trip to D.C. If you can make it to another hospital in the area please do so. Don't waste the time or money at this crappy place.
