Brought my son in with shortness of breath. They gave us a room. While my son was getting an x-ray they kicked us out of the room so they could put another patient in there. Now we are sitting in the hallway of the hospital. I go outside to smoke and calm down cause I dont like being in a hallway with sick people walking by me. (I have been sick myself for 2 months and dont need anymore viruses or the flu myself) While I'm out there my husband told me they refused to let him back with us. Told him we havent been seen yet when in fact my son who was in xray when I got kicked out. Then I noticed a bunch of staff standing outside where they bring in the EMS. They were all out there smoking and chatting. The security gaurd stayed posted on a stool at the nurses station almost the whole time we was there. I have never seen such disorganization in a emergency room before. I would not recommend going there. Me myself I will never come here again. If u dont have room for the patients that's what the waiting room is for. At least the doctor was nice and did a good job. But seriously they need to get thier staff organized. Someone should not have been examined sitting next to us. As the hallway fills up with sick people crammed in one area in the hall instead of the waiting room where there is more room. As I'm writing this another patient is being examined and diagnosed right next to us. So much for confidentiality as we leave some staff is still outside smoking.
