Johns Hopkins Hospital, The: "Son was dropped off my me and has not been seen by a doctor for 10 hours now. In pain and finally a nurse gave him a muscle relaxer and encouraged him to stay since he just wanted to leave. He said it is the worst hospital experience ever. Security guards goofing around loud and flirting. Homeless with shopping carts in ER taking up 3 chairs so you have to stand. Xray, pee and COVID test..An injury to the side at work should not take 10+ hours to handle. All comments I have read sound like the same experience as this one. No fast track that I can see. How many doctors in the ER? 2018 Baltimore Sun published an article about JHH wait time...nothings changed." - Marie
