My 2 year son needed stitches on Valentine's day. It took over 5 hours for us to get out of the ER. While the PA that eventually took care of him was great, one of the staff told us the ER was chronically short-staffed and that several nurses had called out. In an effort to be helpful, she suggested that if we have an emergency in the future we drive 45 minutes to Vandy in Nashville where even with the drive, we'd be more likely to be seen and treated faster. Gateway may have a new name, but it's the same crap hospital.
