Presbyterian Hospital: "My wife waited 18 hours and I her husband waited 15 hours. She was bleeding from her rectum and in pain. This was told to the nurse, but she seemed snooty rude and did nothing.

She has diabetes and her insulin pen malfunctioned and her sugars were averaging 360. Novant didn't care as it apparently was a
low priority.

Also, a man was in distress of vomiting and not one nurse assisted him and I had to go fetch a nurse. He also was about 18 hours in the waiting room.

If waiting times are close to 24 hours, food and drink should be supplied." - Rick
