The doctors who work in the hospital are wonderful. I would not consider leaving my doctors. However, the ER is the worst I have ever seen. AVOID it if you can.
I had abdominal surgery and developed an infection in my incision area only 3 days after discharge. The surgeon was on vacation and I was instructed to go to the ER by my PCP. I went there. It took 1 and 1/2 hours to be seen by triage, they gave me IV fluids and promised me a bed asap after 5 hours of sitting (yes sitting no beds) my husband wheeled me out. I just could not sit any longer I was in so much pain I was crying. The next day I went to sergical clinic and they re-admitted me.
Now 1 month later they think I might have a blood clot. Surgical clinic closed they send me to ER. I gave Johns Hopkins the benefit of the doubt and went back to their ER. Horrible, worse than the first time. 2 hours 23 minutes to be seen in the triage, another 45 for the ultra sound 4 hours later still sitting upright in a chair in waiting room . After 7 hours enough was enough I asked the nurse how much longer to see the doctor. She didn't know it could be a while. Again I left. .
As I asked around the room I should have felt blessed many had been there upward of 2 hours longer than me, and were still sitting in the waiting area. RIDICULOUS 7 hours and no doctor no results I will never again go back to that ER. I wish I could give it a 0 star review,....
