Review of Baltimore Washington Medical C...

The wait time for this Emergency room is terrible....

The wait time for this Emergency room is terrible. I walked in with shortness of breath and a heavy chest they did a EKG and took blood and sent me to wait in the waiting room. 5 hours later with no doctor or nurse saying anything to me I left. Just this Monday by Brother in Law was sent there with a very bad swelled foot and leg. He his recovering from Brain surgery and radiation treatments. The doctors from Hopkins told him to get to the emergency room fearing he has a blood clot. They did a ultrasound of his leg and sent him to the waiting room. 5 hours later my sister ask how much more time they had to wait and she was told approx. 6 more hours. These issues are not common colds and could be life threatening . At least have someone come to the waiting room and tell you your results, you don't need a bed for that. Oh and did I say I pay $1,500.00 a mouth for my Health Insurance.
