I would give this hospital a 0 star if I could. My aunt went in for coughing at 11 am, and she did not receive a drop of water until 12pm the next day. She kept asking the nurses, but no one got back to her, and she wasn't allowed to leave her room to get it herself (prob. because of covid procedures). My mom brought her food, and had to wait 2-4 hrs in line each time. Finally, a nurse had to go get her food. They took my aunt's blood every day, and failed to give her adequate food/water.

A few years back, my mom's appendix ruptured. In the emergency room, they put her in a room and no one came for like 45 minutes. My mom was literally crying from pain. I looked outside at the nurses, and they were just sitting on their desks, and no one seemed to be busy/rushing. Finally they did an ultrasound, and surgery a few hours later. I think, if they waited longer, her appendix might've killed her. Staff showed little concern/empathy. Very very slow-paced, low-quality care, expensive hospital.
