Tampa General Hospital: "Have had to go multiple times recently. Wait times in the waiting room no matter your triage level is 10 to 15 hours. Then they don't want to help. My primary states "It is obvious they don't want to help." COVID risk is high. Waiting room is packed with people down the hall.

Tampa General Hospital: "I came to this hospital because my OB is only associated with this hospital and I am experiencing pains from my lower left abdominal to my leg and lower back and I’m pregnant. The paramedic that took my blood said it’s an average wait time of 3 hours. Never experience this pains before and I’m hurting. It’s people waiting in this waiting room as we speak and they look like they have been here for a very long time trying to get seem. TGH has to do better. I would hate to see how long it takes once I go into labor. " - Nikki
