I'm at Harris Methodist ER as I write this. My wife had brain surgery (elsewhere) a few days ago. She had a seizure this morning and the Medstar took her to Harris Methodist. After waiting from before 8 AM to 3 PM, a doctor came and prescribed anti-seizure medication, and discharged her.We left and had not even driven the 18 minutes it takes to get to the house, and she had another seizure on the way. Since we were almost home (down the street from our home), I called 911 and had them meet me at my house. They came and took her back to Harris Methodist, as they said since she was discharged within 24 hours from there, she had to go back there. Here I am in the waiting room almost midnight after waiting since 4:45 PM. The nurse didn't connect her to the monitoring equipment so that they could monitor her from outside until after 8 pm - if she had had another seizure and I wasn't in there, they never would have known. They said they will transfer her to a regular room and are admitting her. It's been 7 hours since they said that, and still we wait in the small ER room.Its LOUD outside of her ER room due to the staff hollering to each other from across the halls and laughing and cutting up - it sounds like a college keg party, and when my wife wakes she is in excruciating pain. 5 stars ? I'll be surprised if I don't call my lawyer by this time tomorrow.
