Hospital ER’s across the country are overwhelmed as the population continues to grow exponentially. We have an unusually unbalanced population with a higher percentage of over 65ers than anywhere especially during season. I had an ER situation but not an imminently life threatening situation and in spite of that, I was registered, triaged, treated, and discharged in 5 hours (including the glitch of not being able to locate chart info). I do not think that is unreasonable considering how swamped they were. The entire staff was caring and knowledgeable.[/QUOTE i agree. they were VERY good when my husband was admitted, caring & attentive. we never had any problems, & met wonderful doctors.
Good to hear good experiences.
Thanx for posting.
