I remember when I was around 7/8 years old my mother became incredibly ill. My sister and I brought her to this hospital. It s close by and you d expect that they d attend her quickly seeing how bad she looked. Well they didn t, the nurses weren t even paying attention to her and it took us forever to even get attended, and when she did they were apathetic about the situation. I could see my mother in so much pain, she couldn t even open her eyes. THEY SENT HER BACK HOME THAT SAME NIGHT! They didn t even keep her long enough for observation. You know what happened? We came back home my mother just trembling, trying to come up the 3 flights of stairs where we live. I was a child, my sister was a teenager and we were oblivious we assume that the pills and everything would help out. The following day my mother s fever was higher and she went to the hospital TWO more times after but they seemed annoyed and sent her back?? So then after all that, she was getting worse so she decided to go to the doctors and remind you my mother had to work to provide for my sister and I. So if the hospital is saying she s fine then she s fine? But she went to her doctor to be reassured but she looked so pale, I d never seen her that way, just was weak. Since my sister and I had school we couldn t go with her to that appointment. But once I was out of school it was to find out that my mother had been sent to the emergency room accompanied by her doctor!!! Her kidneys had stones but the problem was that they GOT INFECTED MY MOTHER WAS LITERALLY DYING. She was in and out of coma, because of their delay, because of the bad and treatment!!! THEY ASSUMED RATHER THEN DOUBLE CHECKING! I was in second grade, I remember it so well I thought I was going to lose her and years have passed by but it was traumatizing and I remember how they told us after they don t think she d make it. It was because of her doctor, that she s still alive. He was able to rescue her but it definitely made me fear hospitals. He was the one that took her case because they obviously didn t care enough so he treated her there. Sadly this is the only hospital nearby for me. But I had heard that there were new people running this hospital, and you d think they would know what they re doing. I have gastritis, one day I came out of my summer job with a really bad pain I was afraid maybe it was an ulcer or something. It was too late to head to the doctors and I couldn t take this immense pain anymore so I WALKED yes I walked to the hospital. I worked around there but it was a long walk and when I got there it was around 4, I left there at 12am. Waiting for a cat scan!!! Hello I have gastritis my stomach lining is literally inflamed and imagine waiting to be attended ALREADY INSIDE also not being able to have any type of food in your system because of the cat scan. I understand that but I have acid building up the longer they took, I was passing out, all they did was take some blood out and if I didn t keep bothering them about how I needed to be seen soon. They would have kept me there longer. I could see people that came after me leaving and I was still there. PLUS they didn t bother to tell me I didn t have insurance so now i have to pay a load of money????? For a day that I didn t even get treated, correctly? Thank you for my ruining childhood and now my adulthood. Don t go here. I had the biggest headache I left there even more sick and thank God for my doctor and thank God for His mercy because I ve been better. Plus the nurse was disgustingly rude and so I fired back to her because one she wasn t even there while I was waiting she started her shift literally when I decided to walk out myself. Like after the cat scan they had me there waiting even more like what!?? I m passing out but you know what I did? I called after I left and apologized to her for the way I responded to HER RUDE COMMENTS. THANK YOU LORD for making me a caring person and I can t wait to be a doctor myself so I can school them.
