Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center: Emergency Room 1000 Montauk Highway, West Islip, NY 11795

"This emergency is awsome. The er doctors treat you like your human. BTW huge shout out to Jason a er nurse there if your a hard stick tell your nurse to call Jason and he will get a vein no ultra sound required."

"I wanted to come into the emergency room today and I tried to talk to somebody about the issue before I came in because it's a sensitive topic But I was unsuccessful nobody will listen to me. I am a physically handicapped person with eight levels of my spine fused. I have myalgic encephalitis from certain viruses that were imposed upon me against my will. I have been getting seizures since I was 20 years old from another virus that entered my central nervous system when I was a teen. I have multiple viruses in my system which I cannot list here. Last Saturday I was bullied again and I am already an assault victim that's how I caught these last two viruses I was assaulted 5 years ago I cannot give details. I have a viral infection in my eyes that was trying to go away however I have a severe infection in my pelvis that has been the main contributor to the problem. Planned Parenthood can't even treat this furthermore these viruses entered in my brain my central nervous system and my immune system attacks my central nervous system on a regular basis. Recently I have developed all of the symptoms of my grandmother's Addison's disease over the last few years these symptoms have been getting worse. I don't have cortisone and I don't have Neurontin for the seizures. I just went through another major trauma that has complicated the virus. I was threatened on Saturday to have my spine broken by someone who I cannot say here. I have eight levels of instrumentation in my spine and I use a walker I have a very severe pelvic infection right now and I can't get treatment for it. I wanted to talk to somebody before I came in but no one will listen. I guess I'm going to have to find another way to treat my own infection maybe a holistic health practitioner or something because I can't get treatment at planned parenthood. It's too severe. I will be writing about my experience on my Facebook page this hospital has always been good however due to recent events I am really scared to ask for help."

"Here with my father82 years old, he has been admitted but has been laying in the emergency room for 2 and a half days. He has bladder cancer and kidney disease, they won't give him a room because he had mrsa last month, which he got from this hospital, so they leave him around a 100 other people. The Dr s that work here are good, some of the nurses are great. When we brought him in he was awake and alert, after 50 hours of no rest he can't put a sentence together."

"Was transfered from incompetant urgent care. Triage nurse was more interested in healing wound on body than reason for visit. R/o stroke but had no signs or symptoms of such and was much too young for it. Immediately started iv drew blood scheduled for ct scan. When they finally examined me and took vitals, decided no stroke and was immediately discharged. Still had headche I came in with. Waste of time."

"Understaffed and difficult to get in to see a doctor. Entry is based on reason, not arrival time, so you could end up waiting for hours. The staff is nice, but not exactly friendly. Along with this, in my experience Good Sam has a tendency to either misdiagnose or drag their feet on treatments. Its close, but I dont recommend going unless you're in an ambulance and havent got much time left. I think it would be better if they used their money to get more staff with better pay than making extensions to the hospital to further stretch out their short staff numbers. One nurse working triage when theres a room of 14 patients in the ER is bad"
