Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital Stories

Sutter Medical Center Of Santa Rosa: "Sutter is my medi-cal assigned hospital and very modern and up to date, but I have spent HOURS AND HOURS in the ER waiting room and in a cubicle inside the ER I was waiting in the outside waiting room one day last November for at least 4-6 hours. And I have heart failure!!

Ironically, there was a television show on about how one human germ could survive in some ice age glaciers for like thousands of years. That can really freak someone out!

They quickly tri-age as most hospital ERs do, but if you are not an "urgent" case be prepared to wait and wait and wait. And then to wait some more while being treated. Pretty much pack a activity bag. Books snacks knitting whatever. It's a crapshoot. But again very modern and up to date just slow as watching a pot boil."
