Review of Jefferson Health Systems

Filthy and incompetent staff!

Filthy and incompetent staff!
My Mom had a heart procedure on Thursday at Jefferson and on Friday she developed a fever so the on call doctor instructed her to go directly to the ER. The ER doctor order labs, cat scan on her head and chest x-ray. After waiting over 4 hours they only did the chest x-ray. I inquired why they haven't done the lab or cat scan I was informed that the cat scan wasn't ordered and there to busy to draw blood. One poor girl was in the ER for over 12 hours and still hadn't seen a doctor. I was very concerned about her level of care as she was in bad shape and no one cared, so I left Jefferson at Midnight and I took her to Lankenau Hospital. She was seen right of way and thank God as she almost died in the ER but the staff at Lankenau did a great job at emergency response with the defibrillator. I truly believe she would of died in the waiting room at Jefferson if I didn't leave and take her to Lankenau. Also Jefferson ER bathrooms were deplorable. I've never seen a hospital with such gross bathrooms.
