Review of DPCI - NYU Langone Medical Cen...

Like most NYC hospitals it can get busy and may be understaffed. However I feel that some of the nurses are overwhelmed by the amount of work and patients they have to tend to. I was in the ER for the flu and bad gastric pains. I don t understand why it took over two hours to get my pain medication. I know it was busy and as the physician assistant said, they have other priorities like the people brought in from the ambulance... but two hours? For the pharmacy to approve toradol? On top of that my father had to keep flagging down anyone he can because I was in agonizing pain reminding them of the pain reliever. He also suggested morphine because that s what I received last time I was here and in other hospitals across the city because it relieves my acid reflux and severe abdominal pain. I am not trying to brag but my father is also an RN and knew that toradol wouldn t help me and is why when I was being discharged I was still in a lot of pain and continued to vomit when I came home.

Not to mention I went back to the ER, but this time went to Bellevue Hospital.
