Many of the good specialists have left this mess of a hospital and who can blame them? It is such an unorganized chaotic mess of a place, which is sad because years ago this was a fine hospital.
Nursing staff is chronically understaffed that nurses are stretched so thin they aren't able to properly care for patients.
If you go to the ER you will likely only see a mid level care provider like a nurse practitioner, and of course you will be stuck with numerous residents who don't want to be there and treat you like you are a gerbil. If you need to be admitted you can wait 18-24 hours just to get a bed and it will likely be in the burn unit regardless of what the ailment is.
If you have a loved one here as an inpatient DO NOT LEAVE THEIR SIDE REGARDLESS HOW MANY NIGHTS YOU HAVE TO SLEEP IN THE CHAIR NEXT TO THEIR BED! Be vigilant and pay close attention to all aspects of their care. This hospital frequently "loses patients" as well, usually when they go for x-rays or to CT/MRI.
If you have an issue that compromises patient care and need to speak with someone in Patient Relations-good luck with that as well. Avoid this "hospital" if at all possible, try to go to Methodist, the care is much better there.
