Review of Tri-City Medical Center

This is by far the worst hospital; Tricity is worse than a 3RD world country hospital.
I was in ER this week- 8 hours for nothing.
Here is how it works-
1. You check in- wait for 30 plus minutes
2. After 30 minutes-Triage- then wait another 40 minutes
3. X-Ray- after this wait another 45 minutes to be taken into a cubicle
4. 45 minutes later- another nurse comes and tells you- please wait for another 2 hours
5. 2 Hours later- physician assistant comes- says she will order an xray- hello miss-the x-ray was taken 2 plus hours ago- she says oh really- i havent heard from xray dept. let me check-
6. 50 minutes later- you walk back and forth and these people are all sitting in the room chatting-
EMT,NURSE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
7. I am like can you please check- my 12 year old is hungry- please
8. 45 minutes later PA Comes in and tells me- well the Radiologist has not had a chance to view x-ray
9. Now i tell her- madam- Physician assistant- i have been here almost 8 hours
I think i need to leave- here is my insurance information again- please bill me and call me with results.

10. Long story short- in 3 minutes the REGISTRATION LADY SHOWS UP- HAHAHAH now they are scared they wont get paid for this scam- hahah in 45 minutes they check me out
end result- X-RAY NEGATIVE
NO MEDICATION NEEDED
NO BANDAGE NEEDED- I Literally had to tell the PA and EMT to put a splinter for my kids finger- and they they still couldnt do it! This place is a Joke!

THIS PLACE SUCKS- TRICITY NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!

We could have driven to Tijuana,Mexico- 45 minutes drive and gotten better care and cheaper and faster- and i am neither latino nor can speak a Lick of Spanish- hahahah!

TRICITY HOSPITAL IS HELL- STAY AWAY!
