I m brought someone in to the ER for a psych evaluation. We have now been sitting we for 7 1/2 hours. It s 2:00in the morning with no doctor in site. A nurse practitioner called the patient and discussed their case with them over the phone with her and in front of all other patients. This is UNACCEPTABLE! There has been no privacy at all in here. I watched a nurse wait to call transport for another patient for 2 hours before he finally called; only to then tell the parent it would be 4 hours before transport would come!!! People are in crisis when they come into the ER. You wouldn t leave someone with a broken leg, migraine or heart attack lay for 8 hours. This kind of treatment or lack of treatment for the mentally ill patients makes me sick. Don t even get me started in the fact that this part of the facility smells like urine and hasn t been updated since it was built yet the money for construction seems to be pouring into every other aspect of this hospital. I m over it and I m taking this higher.
