Brandywine Hospital: "Worst hospital around. It’s a joke there. So filthy. 4 hours in the ER for a result back from a urine test is just unnecessary. This hospital needs to be inspected. " - Samantha

Brandywine Hospital: "I hada family member Picked up by ambulance and rush to Brandywine ER to be attended to. Law there the staff was pretty friendly and attentive for some part. He was discharged and the next day we noticed there were some medications missing. A family member said that she bag the medication and put it in a bag for the emergency crew to take with him to the hospital. Now I'm on a manhunt for my family members medicine and everyone that I talk to at the hospital That I have spoken to except for one or 2 people have been rude short insensitive and act like I'm taking up their time with an unimportant matter. I do not recommend this the RI would recommend you take the extra few minutes if you can make it to go to another hospital because this 1 will s**** y**. While I was there waiting for assistance and elderly man walked out because it taken too long for him to be seen. I would think with a matter as much A serious as a missing narcotic they would take a little bit of more time to try and help me find them especially when the last thing they said was that they had it. So unfortunately my next step is to go make a police report but Brandywine could have been a little more attentive and helpful and nice or so no I do not recommend this hospital save your family member " - Dailan
