: "I went to the ER because I need Dialysis. My access port stopped working Wed. so, I have been 5 days without dialysis. So, it's important I get this done. Well after 7 1/2 hours waiting with at least 3 hours more to go, I had enough. I needed to be admitted and they have no beds available upstairs, which means stuck in er to try and sleep (lol) on a stretcher. Let's mention that I came straight from the Hospital at university of Baltimore where I had throat surgery. So I was in pain and needed pain killers which are home. So, putting all the negative things together I was like hell with this we need to find a better way." - Douglas

: "My roommate was driven to the ER at Henry County Medical Center, Paris, Tennessee October 1, 2021. He was treated for "Covid19 with pneumonia" even though we heard on the news there is no test for it, really for many reasons. The Alfred Hitchcock moment came when he came home and kept repeating over and over "The hospital is completely empty. I was the only patient I saw anywhere for 3 days." You can't make this up...." - Karen

: "My mom was sent to the ER today by her surgeon at 11:00 a.m. to be admitted to University Hospital in Augusta Georgia. She is still sitting in the waiting room at the ER 8:00p.m.
She is a cancer patient currently undergoing treatment and has a compromised immune system. She hasn't had food or water the entire 9 hrs and no one mentioned she could have been waiting at home all this time via the virtual check in app. I just happened to discover while googling ER wait times. Why is this happening!?" - Shannon

: "Western Arizona (Bullhead City) 10 HOURS in ER lobby in September 2021. Checked in at 6pm with extreme abdominal pain. I did not see triage till 9pm. I then went through a CT scan and internal ultrasound with no results. I ended up walking out at 5AM the next day now 9k in medical debt and no conclusion as to why I am in such extreme pain.

: "My Daughter's been in the emergency room at St Joseph hospital since 730 am. ER doctors said appendix inflammation shown on the CT, possibly surgery to remove... overwhelmed with the patient intake has the staff forgetting the patient still there. Horrible experience. She's a corandelet employee. Admittance was also scheduled at 100 pm. Still sitting on a chair with severe pain.. Said staff could monitor her if given pain meds, because of the overwhelmed patient intake. Making their priorities on patients in need has been put aside because of lake of staff.. Understand the Covid-19 burn out and overwhelming cases. But patient in need are sitting in chairs waiting for possibly critical surgery being held up. Horrible times in the medical field. But lack of staff and urgency to treat patients in need has to be blamed on the hospital president and staff assisting him or her." - Richard

: "My 80 year old father fell & hit his head and we have been sitting in the Rockdake hospital emergency room for OVER 14 hours. We live nearby but we were told that if we leave to go home and rest that we lose our place in line and must start over when we return. And they are very disorganized. They called him back for blood work while he was already back in CT scan. They couldn't find him for a while. Now we can't leave until he sees a doctor but he's been sitting in a wheel chair for 14 hours and he's exhausted and in pain from the chair. You don't treat our elderly like this! " - Amanda
