Hospital

"5 hours of waiting, and we've only been seen by the triage nurse. Multiple people have come and gone, and most of them had arrived after my family and I. There is no sense of order, no sense of urgency. When you ask, all they do is shake their head. My daughter is here for a severe migrane, and I'm not saying that's more important than someone who's dying, but there needs to be some sense of order. It's very disappointing watching so many people go through that came after we did, that aren't actively bleeding out on the ER floor."

"First time going to the er in my life, my husband brought me because I was having chest pains and it felt like a knife stabbing me. They did ekg , labs and chest X-ray . The nurse came in and told me I was being discharged and to follow up with the cardiologist. Dr never came in to go over results with us, didn’t prescribe anything for the pain. They didn’t offer for observation. I left in the same pain that I walked in with. Every time I woke up that night I was just glad the I was still alive but the pain was still there . I have two kids and I was thinking that I was leaving them and I was going to die. It is a horrific feeling thinking you might be leaving your loved ones. I called the cardiologist next morning. Originally they could get me in the following week I asked to speak with nurse I was crying and explained how I went to the er and my visit there. How I was in pain and didn’t want to go back to er because they wouldn’t do anything for me. Luckily she had good standard of care and got me in that day. Cardiologist prescribed me meds and said he thought it might be pleurisy and scheduled and echo. He was very nice. I have been a RN for 18 years and the standard of care in the er was very poor. Now I’m getting billed a lot of money for basically leaving in the same pain that I walked in with. They don’t care about you all they care about is their money."

"Had tontake my wife there last night thought she was having a heart attack...let me put it this way everytime we go there ,their is an issue..no sense of urgency. ..etc etc...we won't go there again...UNC is the problem"
