St Mary's Hospital: "I have always had a good experience with St Mary's except for this time the emergency room was a little packed I had gotten there at approximately 5: 30 ish I didn't get back into the ER part with a room until about 8:30. Then once I got back into the emergency room I was hooked up to monitors given pain medicine and just left in there they did an exam on me and I have been ringing the nurses call button they told me they would get my nurse well about 30 minutes it went by I still had not heard nothing so I took all my monitors off I was very irritated at this point I had been neglected in the waiting room now I was being neglected in the emergency room. And as I took the monitors off I sat there for about 20 more minutes nobody ever come to check to see if I was okay anything so I finally got up and I walked out and I had an IV stuck in my arm and had to have a cop come out to my house and remove it it is the worst experience I have ever had at a hospital. But what really got me was when I took all the monitors off and nobody even bothered to come out there and see if I was still alive or dead.q" - Jody
