St Patrick Hospital: "
Apparently long wait times are the Norm X the country. So why don't you be the first to rectify this major problem. Although St. Patrick was long ago dethroned from his dominance in Ireland He would be "turning over in his "grave" if He had any idea what was happening at "His" hospital.

St Patrick Hospital: " The Triage at this hospital is rediculous. While my husband sitting for 2hr45min before being called back. Sitting in waiting room we were was amazed that patients in the waiting room were actually saying there's nothing wrong with them.I did raise my voice in frustration to a nurse behind a closed door about why it was taking so long. We have never experienced this treatment. After they took him to his room it took 20min before a nurse or a dr came in. Never in our lives experienced that before. For a Friday they were busy & greatly understaffed. So dr came in we mentioned my husband pain dr was Dr.Bender,which is an excellent dr. ER dr treated my husband like he was a drug addict. My husband is the one patient that has asked his dr to take him from 6 pain pills a day to 2 a day. My husband could not get his pain under control. He was given a shot of demerol & xray. My husband was so uncomfortable their to even ask for another shot, because his pain was still not under control. My husband 6'4" 250lbs. walked out of ER in just as much pain he showed up for in the first place. He was in ER for 4 1/2 hrs for an xray & 1 shot. We will never step foot in your Emergency Room, nor will we recommend this ER to anyone. " - Jennifer
