    : "Got to the ER at ANMC took about 20 minutes to get my wife checked in. During her check in the nurse stressed us that the bleed is a significantly more serious matter than my wife has led on. So with anxiety enhanced, a room full of people waiting, they put an indigent man in a wheel chair who smells so strongly of urine not one person has their face uncovered. Since we’ve been waiting without complaint for 2.5 hours I approached one of the nurses in the check in station to ask “ not to rush you, I’m w just wondering if you knew a ballpark time as to how much longer it would be until she gets taken back” before I could finish she rudely cut me off letting me kno in the shortest manner possible that no she’s busy and they’re understaffed. She was a blatant bitch tbh. I understand being understaffed or overworked, I’ve seen it. I just haven’t seen it here. In the past twenty-five minutes she’s moved from her chair twice, checked in one patient and may as well be asleep. No she’s not on the computer, charting, trying to move the line of people, I don’t know how to do her job, however I do know it can’t be getting done right if at all at this point. She’s been on shift for 45 minutes.none of it’s a big deal but when you put it together with a shit attitude I can’t imagine why you’d even feel comfortable having a career in which you spend your time helping people that NEED help not spoke down to. Then again it IS ANMC, we’ve yet to have a nice experience here" - Ray

    Providence Alaska Medical Center: "The ER wait times today are borderline torture. My wife was sent here by the paramedics with severe chest pains and she has now been sitting in the waiting area for going on 5 hours!

    This is ridiculous and unconscionable. "
