My family and I recently moved to the Marion area. Took my son to the ER in May of 2011 for an object in his nose (yes, typical 2 year old!). Arrived in ER at 10:36 pm. Midnight rolls around and we have not even been through triag yet. Begin talking with other waiting room patients and find out that most of them have been "waiting" since 8 pm. One gentlemen believed to have a broken ankle and had not yet been seen. Another mom and her young child believed to have strep and had not yet been seen. Yet another mom and her infant child (child terribly ill) had been waiting for several hours and had not yet been seen. Considering the nature of my sons visit, I knew that our wait time could easily exceed 6 hours. Please note, that 3 other waiting room patients left the hospital just as I did. For my first visit to this hospital I am very disappointed and will think twice before going there. Also, why is the parking lot so dark? Are they wanting people to trip and fall when visiting the hospital so that they can get more patients or do they want people to get mugged while visiting? What is wrong with this hospital? Why does an ER have 5 + hours wait time when there is no ambulance in the drive up area and no intense emergency patients walking in the door? Do they only employ 1 doctor that goes home between patients? This is by far the worst hospital I have yet to encounter - disappointed that this is my new home town hospital.
This site required me to rate the hospital . I preferred to give it no stars.
