1 /5 Adam Zcka: Seattle Childrenâs Hospital On January twenty-eighth, I brought my 6-month-old baby to the emergency room because he was very sick. Unfortunately, we waited in the lobby for five hours without receiving any assistance. While I understand that emergency rooms can be busy, it was disheartening to see many staff members inside but no action being taken to address our situation. This is especially concerning given the age of my babyâ6 months oldâand the urgency of his condition.
Even after we were finally brought inside, we have now been waiting for an additional hour with no progress. Staff repeatedly say, âWeâll be back,â but no care or attention has been provided. It feels like there is a lack of urgency and compassion in handling critical cases, especially involving infants. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for families who rely on this hospital for urgent care.â
