St Francis-Downtown: "I’ve waited in the waiting room for 7 hours in severe pain and all. Everyone else kept getting called ahead of me and then sent home. I was finally called back and admitted to the hospital for over a month. The triage crap is a bunch of BS especially when the nurses don’t know how to properly triage!!!" - Amanda

Now we get to the wait time, horrible, rates a 3. We came in around 12:45 am triag went pretty quickly 1hr 15min...then getting to a room 45min...but thats when it gets really ridiculous...waiting for the doctor 4hrs. all the medicines have been ordered and administered now what,it's 6am..it's the ER I get it but come on..."good grief Charlie Brown" this is has been the worst ER visit ever!! I won't be doing this again!
