Trashiest hospital ER I ve ever been to. Save yourself and go elsewhere. I wound up at the ER by recommendation of the Walk-In, as I was having abdominal pain that seemed to mimic early stages of appendicitis. Waited in the waiting room for an ungodly couple of hours, and even had to be suddenly moved to a different waiting room because a woman found a bed bug crawling on her jacket. Awesome. So when they actually bring me to a bed, I m crammed into a room with 4 others and left in the corner for an eternity. Eventually, the doctor came in, poked my stomach, asked a question or two, then began to listen to my abdomen with her stethoscope. That was about a 3 second listen because she was distracted by the her name being mentioned on the loudspeaker. So she quickly put it away and said I don t think you have appendicitis, we ll look for ovarian cysts. Then she blew away with the wind, and never came back. Eventually they sent me for an ultrasound, and the sonographer was a breath of fresh air. Finally, a nice, care oriented human. But back to hell we went when she wheeled me back. I sat around for another 40 minutes and a nurse came in saying she had to start an IV, I asked what for and she said because you need it. I told her that I sure wasn t dehydrated when I left the walk in hours ago, so I didn t understand why I needed it. She couldn t give me a valid reason past you need it. Then proceed to stick the IV in the same spot they drew blood from, which didn t pan out well at all, bloody mess. Tried my tiny hand with a thick needle, still didn t work go figure, and eventually moved on to my other arm. I was then left in a corner to rot until I called and asked when the results would be back from my scan. They said they didn t know, then I became frustrated as I ve now been awake for 24 hours, hadn t eaten in over twelve hours, and staff kept telling me no food or drink. Eventually a nurse came back and told me that I d be discharged and handed me a box with a sandwich in it. Great. So where s the doctor to discuss the results of the scan? They said it was fine. So I still have abdominal pain, they had me sitting in there from 9pm to 5am, for nothing. Only a uterine ultrasound and a blood test. Intestinal blockage? Who knows, they didn t check. Any other cause of this pain? Who knows. 8 hours of wasted time for the most subpar care I ve ever received. Not thorough, not kind, worst place to be. So now, I m in the same place I was leaving the walk in, still in pain and absolutely no answer, but I m sure they ll still mail me the bill! Save yourself and don t go. You ll get better care elsewhere, I M POSITIVE.
