5 hr. wait in the ER all the time. Under staffed hospital with 2nd & 3rd rate doctors. They gave my wife two pulmonary embolisms after a knee replacement surgery due to the fact they did not move her leg enough after surgery. When I had a gall bladder removal the doctor never saw or called me after the surgery & I was in intense pain. Also they have become an anti pain med hospital.last year when I had pancreatitis the only medicine I was given was 2 mg of morphine every 6 hrs. Also no shower or sponge bath for NINE days. The incompetent surgeons released me with no medication after a total hip replacement. I had to wait a day for the skilled nursing doctor to prescribe needed medication. Also the cruel surgeon sent me home after gall bladder removal with only a nicotine patch & an anti-acid RX.The whole system at St. Joseph's is BROKEN. If you have the option go to a real hospital like Cedars or UCLA.
