I went in with extreme abdominal pain. I was in tears and trying my hardest to not scream. I sat and waited over an hour just to be brought into the ER. We were told there was two people before us, and it wound up to be nearly ten.
Fast forward to getting my blood drawn and sitting there answering questions to the nurses, who tell me they are going to get me fluids and morphine.
Time passes. We have paged the nurses station five times by this point, and we're reassured one would be in asap. Nobody ever came. Doctor comes and goes. Registration comes and goes. I get an ultrasound, more blood drawn, and a catheter to get a urine sample. THREE HOURS passed before a nurse came running in and tells me they are going to get me my morphine and fluids asap.
I spent a total of four hours just waiting for pain medication and fluids to help ease my pain.
They didn't tell me anything. Didn't answer my questions. Told me to go and see my normal doctor. Which I did. Turns out I had kidney stones, kidney infection, kidney damage, and e coli. All things the hospital could have diagnosed according to my doctor had they taken the time to do so.
This is not the first bad experience I've had here, but it is the closest hospital my insurance covers. But I'd rather drive an extra hour or two to go somewhere else and shall from now on. I will NEVER return here.
