Used to be the best in the desert all the way around. Now the ER is a joke. The nurses there that handle intake are rude and on a power trip. Had to wait there 5 hours just to get ct scan after a high blood pressure reading and on the verge of stroke. Not to mention having to get bit up by the bed bugs that infested the waiting room chairs/sofas. I never saw a doctor I had 2 nurses that were giving me different info, and didn't really know what was wrong with me so they just gave me percocet... This isnt the only time I had a problem with ER a month prior same thing with the nurse at intake, this time my 10 yr old daughter who had been to a hospital in another city, had a ct scan showing a small mass in the brain days before. While visiting the area she had 9+ pain headache. I explained to the nurse everything about the visit to the other hospital and the results. And she said I should take her back to that hospital and pretty much argued with me before finally letting us register. Then told us to wait. Which was for 2 1/2 hours and the ER wasn't really busy it was a slow night. A few people came in after us and were seen before us... Sucks that EMC is now like what Desert used to be.
