Parrish Medical Center: "Been here so for 3 hours . It seems the lack of society care has spilled over into the hospital. I would hope they look for different ways to help people where they are . That might eliminate the problems at the ER.

Parrish Medical Center: "Wait time in the ER was over 5 hours some people reported being in the waiting room for 7 hours when I first arrived. Many people left without ever being seen including myself after an excessive wait. Date this took place 22 March 2021. I don't know what the issue was or if this is currently an ongoing issue but something needs to be addressed here. I would have preferred to have an eta or been informed of the average wait because in 1 hr I could have drove to an Orlando, 3 hours I could have been in Tampa. I'd rather drive in pain four hours and be seen. Then have to walk out after 7 hours of being in pain because it doesn't look like I'll ever be seen." - Anon

Parrish Medical Center: "I was told by my Dr, do not go to ER unless I'm dying. After blood work he called and said my sugar & BP-OVER 185 and rising! I guess i was dying because I was told to go to the ER immediately as I could have another stroke! They checked, still rising. I was told to have a seat and wait my turn! After an elderly man & wife left after iver 2 1/2 hr's wait. I'd been there an hour waiting for my stroke to hit! I got up and told them I'd rather die at home with my husband! He came back & got me.
I got my own BP & sugar down myself! PMC puts you in with people that were hacking and
Apparently don't have any doctors to work the ER! " - Judith
