Ok, this is the worst hospital I have ever been to.
Recently, around 8-9pm I finally called 911 for extreme pain and cramps I was feeling in my intestines that had not gone away for two hours. I was crying it was so painful. I had eaten some blueberries and I think that might have been it. When I arrived, I was rolled up in a gurney to the front desk where this nurse was busy typing into a computer. She said to me you will have to wait, I have forms to get done. I then sat there for a half an hour yelling in pain and nobody attended to me. They then rolled me into a room by myself and pulled the drapes around me as if I was bothering everyone. I sat in that room yelling and crying from the intense pain for at least an hour. I finally crawled out onto the floor and into the hallway because I could not take the pain anymore. The same nurse came up to me while I was on the floor in a fetal position and said "here, sign this". I said you have got to be kidding me, I am not signing anything until someone attended to me and gave me pain medication. She then said I should go back to my room because the floor had germs on it. I had to crawl back on my own. I saw other nurses and staff just walking around as if they could not hear my screams and the fact I was on the floor withering in pain. I realize there may have been others more in need than me but I swear I saw 3 elderly patients being wheeled around and they seemed calm. I finally had blood drawn and then the doctor took about a half hour before he came in and said we will give you pain medication. The doctor was just as uninterested as the nurse was. He never diagnosed anything. Nobody seemed to care except the one paramedic who brought me in and tried to comfort me after I got the pain medication, and I appreciate. When I was discharged, the same nurse said "how do you plan to get home?" I said I need a cab and she said "we do not provide that service". I did not imply the hospital had to pay, I just wanted to call a cab. I said I live on the same street Mill ave a few miles down the road. She then said I should walk home because they don't have cab information. It was 1am! Great service you guys. It was the worst pain I had ever felt and this was an emergency room. Do not go there unless you want terrible service and nurses that do not want to be bothered. Terrible for a hospital.
