It's funny that the start of the comment section ask's what I liked about LIJ. The answer is nothing, my mother went into the gyn clinic on the third floor for an appointment. They told her she needed to go to the emergency room for high blood pressure (Yes you read that right, their reasoning was high blood pressure). After waiting for 4 hours she was not seen at all but was told she needed to stay to see the Dr. I finally told her they can't legally hold her without reason or being seen (because she wasn't in a room or hooked up to any monitors). She told them she wanted to leave and go see a specialist about the issue within the next few days to which the nurses told her that she shouldn't leave and needed to wait another two hours to see a Dr. about the emergency.... I'm still trying to figure out how you classify something an emergency and then expect them to wait 6 hours to be seen for said emergency. I nor anyone in my family will ever be going back to this hospital. I'm beyond pissed with what they call service. The hospital should seriously reconsider how their emergency room is operated. And for the record she had a 4:30 appointment at the gyn got their at 3:50 was not seen till 5:30, she was wheeled down to the emergency room at 5:45, and finally left at 10 after they told her she had to wait another 2 hours.
