Spent 8 hours on a stretcher in the ED hallway, listened to a man in the room next to me die, saw him carried out in a stretcher under a sheet an hour or two later. There were sliding glass doors to the ED rooms, but staff never closed them, so no privacy. I heard the medical accounts of several patients over the course of those 8 hours. They hardly checked in with me, never updated me on wait times for testing, wouldn't let me eat until it was "ok'd" by the Dr. but unfortunately they weren't communicating with each other. I was there for abdominal pain, was told it sounded like kidney stones, but after 8 hours of waiting and only 1 hour of actual testing, they sent me home. I felt trapped, and I still have no solid answers. Go to Saratoga Hospital instead if you have the choice.
