Review of St. Anthony's Medical Center

My adult daughter and I arrived at ER at 11:30 AM....

My adult daughter and I arrived at ER at 11:30 AM. She is a stroke surviver with left side paralysis and has not been able to swallow solid food for several days and was getting weak. Triage inserted an IV needle and sent us to wait. We waited 12 hours with no information from staff. At midnight my granddaughter offered to relieve me since I have numerous health issues and had an hour and a half drive home. Finally, at 1:30 AM she was taken to an exam room. After xray and exam her IV needle, now filled with blood was removed and she was released at 5 AM with instructions to call a Dr for treatment. I was very upset , not only with wait time but the fact that an unnecessary IV was in for that amount of time.
