Review of Caromont regional healthcare

Absolutely the WORST emergency room in the entire ...

Absolutely the WORST emergency room in the entire southeastern USA. My son sat in the waiting room for 7 hours and was totally ignored. Left there at 6:00 AM on New Years Day (2015) and went into Charlotte to another Emergency Room where he was seen, treated and admitted to the hospital within 2 hours ... he even had something to eat.

During the wait at Gaston Memorial aka CaroMont Regional, there was a woman who had been there for eight hours who had suffered at least six seizures and she was ignored.

A man who was very inebriated had bloody vomitis on the entry area to the ER where the "staff" had just thrown a towel onto the vomit and ignored it. Housekeeping should have been called to thoroughly clean and sanitize the area since that would be a biohazard.

Now they have the audacity to bill my son for care he never received? I don't think so! I even wonder whether the hospital has the proper accreditation. Certainly if you are going to have an ER it should be properly run and staffed regardless of the time of the year.
