My husband and I went to the ER and waited 3 hours before taken back to one of those little curtain areas with a recliner in it. The room was clearly meant for only two people, but they had squeezed three patients in there. As a result, the nurse didn't have adequate room to work in. She was using the floor as a table as she placed my husband's IV. She even placed "sterile" gauze on the floor before using it to cover up the IV site. I was absolutely disgusted. The nurse also placed my husband's used IV needle on the floor, leaving blood on the floor that never got cleaned up. I wonder how many other people's blood was on the floor before the sterile gauze pad. We waited an additional three hours without seeing a doctor, during which time my husband was feeling worse and worse. We finally told the nurse that we needed to either see a doctor in the next half hour or we were going to leave. The nurse came back 25 minutes later and told us that she had just gotten the okay to process our discharge paperwork. We left 6.5 hours after we got there and never saw a doctor.
Here's the kicker: we got a bill today for over $4k.
I strongly recommend against this ER. I have a friend who went there and waited 12.5 hours before seeing a doctor. Go to Banner Desert - I have been to the ER there and only waited 20 minutes.
