| - This is the second time we have been there in 2 years..1st time the colonoscopy doctor referred us to the ER, where they diagnosed my husband with COPD (after 8 hours mind you). I was concerned as my husband had no symptoms. They ordered O2 for him and said he needed be to on O2 24 hours a day. Went to Primary Dr, and also Pulmonologist, both of them said no COPD evident.
This weekend we went again, as my husband had severe back pain, and we were referred by another doctor, and after 7 hours hospital decided to admit him with with a compression fracture of the vertebra. After admission, the doctor on call advised the compression fracture was old, and they were not sure what was causing pain. We have meds and Physical Therapy for several weeks. Will not go there again if there is ANY choice.
We were admitted to a room in ER in 15 minutes on both occasions, but the amount of time spent in the rooms is far too much, especially when someone is in severe pain. I will say everyone was friendly, and very accommodating, but unfortunately that is way too much time in ER.
