Arrived
at
emergency
room
at
4:30
p.m.
on
Saturday
and
my
relative
was
not
admitted
to
a
room
until
7:00
a.m.
15
hours!!!!!!!
Sunday,
September
4.
The
decision
to
admit
was
not
made
until
approximately
4:00/4:30
a.m.!
Although
the
staff
(nurses
and
techs)
in
emergency
room
were
nice
and
so
were
the
doctors,
when
you
finally
saw
one,
the
hospital
really
needs
to
increase
the
number
of
doctors
(not
medical
students)
working
in
the
emergency
room.
It
should
be
well
staffed
with
doctors,
even
on
holidays.
It
is
supposed
to
be
an
emergency
room
and
obviously
people
do
not
plan
to
be
sick
and
need
emergency
services,
so
staff
with
the
appropriate
number
of
doctors
(not
just
medical
students).
Having
only
two
supervising
physicians
working
in
a
busy
emergency
room
in
a
hospital
in
a
major
city
is
totally
unacceptable.
We
are
in
the
United
States,
not
a
third
world
country.
Kudos
to
one
of
the
supervising
doctors
for
taking
the
time
to
explain
the
situation
-
especially
since
they
too
are
frustrated
with
the
system.
Granted,
I
understand
that
there
are
some
challenges
with
staffing
in
the
medical
field,
but
this
was
ridiculous.
And
I
hope
the
new
hospital
emergency
room
offers
a
at
least
full
curtains
that
encircle
the
entire
bed.
It
was
sad
to
see
only
a
small
free-standing
three-section
metal
folding
frame
w/plastic
curtain
panels/inserts,
divider
on
the
floor
between
the
two
beds
on
one
side
of
the
hanging
curtain
that
divided
the
large
quad
room
down
the
middle.
Again,
the
doctors,
nurses
and
techs
were
all
very
nice
and
working
hard.
However,
they
must
get
enough
doctors
on
hand
to
provide
emergency
room
coverage.
