Went in at 11:30pm after a bike accident with my bottom lip torn off of my jaw on the inside of my mouth. Literally sat in a waiting room for 7 hours holding my face together with my hands while making periodic trips to the bathroom to wipe the blood off of my hands. Didn't even give me gauze...

It seemed like the problem was partially due to understaffing and not just staff apathy, but that's no excuse, especially because this place was supposed to be a hospital not some kind of war-refugee shelter. After seeing the unattended carnage in the waiting rooms it sure felt like the latter.

While some of the people who worked on me (there was one physician on call that night who never appeared) seemed to mean well, some of them were unhelpful at best and alarming at worst. I had three nurses/PAs look at me and say "that's really bad" and walk away. One at least have me pain medication (around 4).
