At 5:30 this morning (7/23) I took my fiance to ER...

At 5:30 this morning (7/23) I took my fiance to ER for a bad nosebleed and spitting up blood. They admitted him, and put us in a room. Once we got in the room, the hooked him up to monitors and put an IV in his arm. While we sat and waited for the doctor to see him, he was bleeding profusely so I went to the station where all the nurses were for that wing. I walked up to one nurse and she directed me to two nurses right next to her. I'm sure they heard her when she directed me to them, but they literally carried on a personal conversation that had nothing to do with work and didn't even acknowledge me. As I waited there patiently, the first nurse told me to go to the other two that were there, so I did, and I politely excused myself, and asked if someone would be able to assist my fiance because he was bleeding everywhere, and they didn't even look at me and just shook their heads "yes". Then once the nurse came in to assist him, she acted like it was a bother and was pretty rude. Finally Dr. Bohw came in, and he was really nice and took care of my fiance. They had to stick a bandage up his nose which left a tube hanging out of his nose. The doctor said they would tape it up so we were like okay. Then when it was time to release my fiance, the same nurse came in to take the IV out of his arm, did a horrible job at bandaging it up because it bled all the way home. I ended up rebandaging it at home the correct way (and I'm not even a nurse). Anyhow, we also asked her if she could tape the tube that was hanging out of his nose and she literally handed him the tape and was like, you can just tape it up, but he asked her nicely if she could do it, and again acted like it was a bother to do it, but did it anyway (because it's her job). Finally, we were out of ER by 8:30 thank goodness. So overall, I give Banner Good Sam on McDowell & 12th Street (ER) a bad review because the nurses there are very rude and will treat you like you're a bother, which they shouldn't because it is their job to "take care of people". We'll never go back there again.
