Johns Hopkins Hospital, The: "The Johns Hopkins waiting room is horrible the wait times are truly ridiculous there’s all kinds of homeless people coming into the Er not to truly be seen but to go to sleep out of the cold that is frustrating in itself people who come in absolute pain have to wait until their done with the homeless and I’m not saying their is anything wrong with it but some of these people need mental institutions not a hospital and it’s not right to the people who are truly in pain! I came here in pain I had surgery right here in the same hospital 2 months ago and the only reason I came back was because the pain was feeling the exact same way it did the first time all the nurses and doctors can see my last notes I still had to wait over 7 hours!!!!! JOHNS HOPKINS YALL MAKE WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO STILL HAVE THIS FUCKING ISSUE AND YALL WONDER WHY PWOPLE BE UPSET WHEN THEY FINALLY GET CALLED TO THE BACK!!!! EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE PERIOD!!!!" - Alysia

: "I went to Johns Hopkins on January 16, 2020. I got there at 1:30PM. I left at 9:30PM. I never even saw a doctor. They said it would probably be another 3 hours before an ED bed would become available. I told them I was leaving and they told me it would be considered AMA (against medical advice) if I left. I’m still in pain today but I can’t go back there and sit for hours. " - Nicole

Frederick Memorial Hospital: "I just left the Frederick Memorial Hospital ED. This is the more worthless Department in the hospital. My mother who is 95 years old was taken by ambulance this morning (10-18-19) at about 9:45 am. By the time my sister and I arrived at 10:05 she was still in the triad section B. It wasn't until 10:30 that finally a PA arrived and my mother described her pain and test were ordered. She was admitted to a ED room where the doctor appeared only once. She inquired about my mothers pain and instead of listening to her or my sister and I she ordered tests to be done. She never appeared until my sister approached her at the desk outside. She pocked her head in to tell the social worker that the test was negative. My mother was still having pain.So instead of admitting her and run further test to see what was causing the pain. they send her home with pain medicine. This is the second back experience I have had with Frederick Memorial ED Department and there so called doctors.I will be following up with this department. This is unacceptable after our family doctor said he would sign a paper stating that further test need to be ordered and her admitted!!" - Mary
