Mercy Hospital Lebanon: "My father waiting over 7 hours on 24 Jan. 88 year old with Parkinson in a confused state thought he had a stroke? PA David did NO initial exam, questions or eval that nurse did in ER? NONE. He refused any care and sent a potential stroke patient to ER. Dad sat there until 730pm, over 7 hours?? ER was only staffed by FNP. Released approximately 11pm. The quantity of FNP, PAs and nurses at Family Care obviously need realigned to ER. Lebanon is no a hospital. Little or no specialty care - Neurology, Urology and cardio NP ONLY once a month from Springfield?" - Tom
