1 /5 Evans Joseph (Jomo): I was an Army Combat Medic, a nurse, an orthopedic technician, emergency department technician, fire department paramedic, and I have worked in hospital all over the United States, especially as an Army Combat Medic, and I can say I honestly have never been in a facility so poorly ran and so badly managed.
First off, the wait times are excessive in this ER. I was in ER for total of four days and no matter the number of patients who sat in waiting room each day, wether 5 or 10 or 20, the wait times were all excessive. And not only the wait times once admitted, you could expect to sit in ER for 8 to 10 hours. And what I found in ER was no less than horrific.
There was literally dry blood on one of the gurneys that I saw another patient be asked to sit on, and for the four days I was being treated in the ER for my MS exacerbation, the same garbage sat under one gurney, for all four days. My daughter who was helping me, as I couldnt walk, almost sat on a needle in a seat a nurse asked us to sit in and when she questioned the nurse about it the nurse laughed at her and scolded her by saying what did you expect in a hospital then chastised her for the rest of the visit.
On my second visit, a doctor refused to complete my medication regiment of Solumedrol even though the Hospitalist, ER Charge Nurse, and MS Neurologist had already consulted and started the standard Multiple Sclerosis therapy but rather than contact any of those people, and even flat out refused to talk to the specialist, the ER physician completely changed the procedure to a non MS treatment without asking me a single word, then he prescribed medication that wasnt indicated, without even discussing one single word of it with me, the patient. And although I paid for labs, I was denied to every see the lab results nor even get a copy.
This place is horrible on so many levels and literally needs to be investigated for substandard and dangerous practices, and incompetent staff, as they are close to being a third-world facility and if they havent already killed someone because of it, I gurantee it will happen with the level of incompetence and lack of professional standards. This ER truly needs their certification revoked.
