1 /5 T B: I have never experienced a more horrible incompetence than this. We were asked to admit my husband via phone. Then to sit and wait. After five and a half hours later no word from anyone. Pacing and waiting in the cold open waiting area. They would call people back for EKGs or to have an IV in place only to be placed back in the waiting area for hours, some were there for more than 6 hours., coughing, bent over in pain, waiting for an open bed in the ER! It was pathetic and irresponsible to say the least. What has become of our medical system?
