On 4/23 I accompanied my husband to Methodist hospital Emergency room due to he had severe abdominal pain. We arrived at 3pm he was seen at the Rapid unit and was asked to provide urine then 5 minutes later we went to triage I tried to give the nurse there the urine sample she told me to hold on to it the nurse in the back would take it. He was assigned to bed 12A at 3:15 I inquired about someone collecting his urine they said to give them a minute. It wasn t until 3:56 a nurse finally collected his urine still at this point not a nurse or physician came to see him while he was in the fetal position rocking back and forth from the pain. They could have been running his urine or sending him to get an x-ray to see if it s his appendix which if it were to rupture it could be deadly. At 4:15pm they finally put an IV and took blood and gave him IV Motrin for the pain and at 4:35 DR Wang came to see him and said it s possibly a kidney stone. There was another man there bleeding all over the place with previous stitches who mentioned to me he had been there for two hours and no one has attended to him. I ve never been to a hospital where the patient or patients wife has to hold on to the urine sample for almost an hour as well as the patient is unattended to for that long. They have four beds in each pod instead of two like I have seen in previous hospital emergency rooms. Their staff looks very laid back. They also have time to joke around but not enough time to attend to the patients?. There was also an EMT by the name Anthony making unprofessional comments to one of the nurses about a homeless patient he had brought in, he was saying how the guy was kicking up a storm and she had asked him if he kicked him he was like do you think he would be here right now if he did. I was truly appalled by this emergency department, that was the first and the last time we will ever go there. One last thing I also contacted patient relations at their off hour number and the representative said she would speak to her supervisor and someone would get back to me. No one called me back regarding my complaint. They need to joke less and stop being so laid back and be more proactive. They have too many beds not enough nurses looks like all they care about is the money they can make instead of providing decent health care to those who really need it. I don't recommend this place at all.
