Review of Genesys Regional Medical Cente...

Be prepared to WAAAAIIIIIIT, even in the emergency room. Recently, a family member suffered a broken hip and was transported by ambulance to the ER. They waited and waited and waited and then finally got an x-ray to confirm the break. Then they waited and waited and waited to finally be admitted and given a room. Total time was 5 1/2 hours!

Surgery was done on the next day and recovery was done on the day after that. Then on the last day they were told at about 6:00 am that they would be discharged. They then waited and waited and waited and were finally discharged at 5:00 pm.

Also, the food that is served is not healthy at all. High meat and cheese concentrations. The menu has heart symbols next to what they consider "Heart Smart." There was a Heart next to the Deluxe Hamburger! Looks like their dietician needs to do some more recent research.

On a positive note, all the nurses were friendly.
