Edward W Sparrow Hospital: "I was in Sparrow hospital two times within the last four days. The ER. What can i say? It was a terrable experience!.
When did nurses get so rude and disrespecrfull?
It seemed as fho everyone was running atound unaware of anything other than the one person they were seeing to, and even then not intirely aware of that persons needs.
And mean? Yes. Not a pleasant experience at all. Im never using the ER there again...ill gk elsewhere.oh yes, i ment to mention how dirty the ER was.no floof cleaners going around like in the past.It was just grime everywhere. It was a sepsis breeding ground" - Sonja
