Glendale Adventist Medical Center: "Wait for 3 hours no one help for pain " - Gary

Glendale Adventist Medical Center: "I went to the ER yesterday 2/19/2020 at Glendale Adventist. I have gone to Glendale Adventist before in the past. I have had a procedure done there before as well, this experience I had yesterday absolutely changed my perspective on Glendale Adventist. I was admitted at 1:45pm in the afternoon. I had a supervising nurse but in my iv and take blood from the iv line. She asked me to pee in a cup and I did. When it came to results I never got them until 8:30 pm at night. By the time the supervisor nurse told me who my real nurse was, Gale, the pain I had originally come in for subsided. I did not get offered a cup of water, a blanket, nothing. I was set out in the hallway due to capacity and I felt invisible to both staff and doctors there. There was nurse who’d walk by me and ignore me, as well as Dr’s. I did not meet my ER attending MD until 8:30 last night when he gave my results only because I complained to my now night shift nurse, his name was Daniel and he completely forgot about me. When I called him by his name he smiled at me and gasped as if he knew he forgot as well. I told him I feel neglected. He apologized and I told him how long I’d been in the ER without knowing one thing that was going on, I hadn’t even gotten results until 8:30 pm. I told him that was ridiculous, all these hours and not once offered pain medication or even a blanket. No thanks to the staff there my lower abdominal pain subsided and no treatment was given nor needed. I simply sat there until for 8 1/2 hours with only speaking to my day nurse Gale twice, speaking to my night nurse twice and the doctor only spoke to me once after I made it aware I felt invisible. I am never coming back. I wish there was more I can say to make people understand how neglected I felt. I sat in that ER crying, in the hallway!!!! It’s not like I was away in a close room like other patients were, but even those patients who had a room were getting tended to unlike me." - Lubia
