| - I was there a few months ago in the middle of the night for a broken elbow and spent 4 hours there. The experience was mostly good. The intake nurse was rushed but ok and the nurses I dealt with after being taken back were kind and empathetic. It's clear everyone there is overworked and rushed, which is of course, not their fault. The tech ladies were nice and sympathetic. However, I had to wait 1 hr (at 3am mind you, so I'm kinda over this at this pt, lol) for the head nurse to give the "Ok" on the bandage used to wrap my arm. I do understand policy and wasn't upset about that, but the nurse who came in who was apparently "the best" at wrapping arms, grumbled the entire time about the bureaucracy of the system and asked me what she was supposed to do to my arm. Seriously. I said, "welp, I broke my left elbow, beyond that I'm unsure what you're supposed to do..." She then busted out a mini cheat sheet for HOW TO WRAP and mumbled several times, "what am I supposed to do?" She then went on to complain about how she only had cheap equipment to work with and that it sucked. As someone who was in physical pain, this person was not helpful or reassuring, and frankly unprofessional. Aside from her, the experience was "ok." The place was reasonably clean.
