The ER is not a place that you ever want to be, but the folks in the ER at CMC Main have done a wonderful job today taking care of a family member who had a small stroke. Dr Johnson and all others we've seen today have been fantastic.
Since we were dealing with a stroke there was absolutely no wait time to have the patient treated. However, of course things do take a long time to process and we ended up being in the ER from 11 am until the patient got admitted to a room in ICU at around 6 pm. Of course there were lots of tests & procedures being done so it wasn't just time spent sitting around waiting.
Once the patient got moved up to Neuro-Surgical ICU, the excellent level of care continued. All of the doctors, nurses, and other staff members have been great.
