Yesterday took my very sick 15 year old to the walk in because he had a fever and pain in his abdomin. They were unable to determine what it was so they recommended we go to the Emergency Room. We checked in at 5:20. His vitals were taken right away and we were told to take a seat and he would be called to have blood drawn. 2 hours later he had blood drawn. After an hour and a half I asked the Front desk if they forgot him and she acted like I was personally offending her! We sat there for another 2 hours until we were
Called in. We then sat in the room for another 45 minutes. The Dr came in and was there for MAYBE 5 minutes, ordered a flu test and chest X-ray. After another hour the nurse came in and said the flu test was positive and she would get us released. After another 45 minutes I pushed the call button and asked her to release him. She said the Dr was in another room and would be quite some time and we would have to wait. Oh not a chance I said. She said I would have to be sign a release that said I was leaving against medical advice. Ummm. What medical advice. We had been there 7 hours and just sat there. We left. I am appalled about how this ER is run! They need a manager in there that actually knows what they are doing. There was a woman in the waiting room with a bloody nose that would not stop and she was given a basin in the waiting room! She had been sitting there for 5 hours! And another pregnant woman, in the waiting room throwing up in a grocery bag!!! The nurses in the triage room just sat there! Gross! If I could give no stars I would. If there is really something wrong with you this is NOT the place to go.
