I was very disheartened by my recent experience in the emergency room. Up until 11:00pm my experience would have been great. The tides turned with the shift change. They must save the rudest and most inept for the graveyard shift. It felt like I had been moved to a different hospital. The nurse left me with no information about my condition for hours. Other patients were complaining about pain and how poorly they were being treated. One person had to be restrained. I heard the nurses rude comnents about other patients when they were clearly put out by very reasonable requests. I wonder what other patients heard about me?
My nurse had poor communication skills and appeared not to care at all about making me comfortable. They ran several time consuming tests. After waiting hours for the test results, I received a three minute explanation about test results and treatment of my condition, before being shoved out. Never saw the doctor again. They rushed me out with little or no understanding of my condition and a prescription for antibiotics. I had other positive experiences at this hospital and was shocked by my recent ER visit. I will find any means to get another hospital in the future. Sad that this hospital is not the fine institution it once was.
