Second ER visit in 2 weeks, this time with my ill husband who had fallen and suffered bad cut to head. I was astounded by the incompetence in the ER. No doctors, just a nurse practitioner there this time.

ER, both last week with daughter and yesterday with husband. Long waits (usual in the past) but with no attention from anyone. With husband yesterday, 5 hours after intake the Nurse Practitioner finally removed bandage placed on by EMT, which was stuck after so long, began bleeding profusely and she stuck gauze on it, ran out to get her kit (to stitch). 20 minutes later I called nurse in because blood was still seeping down his head. THAT nurse was very helpful. 45 minutes later NP returned to sew up his head. Some monitors were never turned on (BP), they never gave him food or water even after tests completed. Never gave him his medication which he missed at noon….just a bunch of things I’ve never experienced before on ER visits.
