To
whom
are
thinking
of
going
to
this
hospital.
My
girlfriend
was
having
some
major
issues
with
her
ear
to
the
point
it
was
a
10/10
pain
level
with
the
feeling
of
fluid
and
pressure
building
up
in
her
head.
I
immediately
called
000
and
they
refused
to
call
an
ambulance
because
it
wasn't
"urgent"
enough
since
she
wasn't
passed
out,
bleeding,
or
having
an
asthma
attack
yet.
So,
I
was
able
to
secure
a
lift
to
drive
us
to
the
nearest
hospital
(Maroondah
Hospital).
As
soon
as
we
got
to
Maroondah
hospital
there
was
a
wait
time
in
emergency
(which
was
expected)
and
we
sat
down
receiving
some
painkillers
for
my
girlfriends
after
about
20-30
minutes.
We
would
then
proceed
to
wait
up
to
1
hour
before
I
would
ask
how
long
we
would
have
to
wait
before
seeing
a
doctor.
The
nurse
at
the
desk
would
respond
with
"roughly
3
hours".
I
then
called
Knox
private
hospital
to
ask
about
their
wait
times
in
which
they
responded
with
4
hours,
so
we
decided
to
continue
to
wait
at
Maroondah
since
it
would
be
the
same
wait.
After
waiting
for
about
4
hours,
my
girlfriend
was
very
tired
and
could
no
longer
just
sit
still
without
knowing
how
much
longer
we
would
be
waiting.
She
went
up
to
the
desk
where
there
was
a
new
nurse
to
receive
the
news,
we
would
be
waiting
another
3-7
hours
before
anyone
saw
us.
This
shook
her
to
the
point
the
painkillers
she
received
were
enough
until
we
could
see
a
doctor
the
next
day
and
could
barely
sleep
all
night
due
to
the
pain
she
later
felt.
This
performance
from
the
hospital
was
pathetic
and
needs
to
be
addressed.
Whether
we
were
a
low
priority
due
to
a
lack
of
symptoms
or
"not
looking
as
bad"
as
the
healthier
patience
that
were
seen
before
us,
is
ridiculous.
We
would
have
been
seen
if
we
swapped
hospitals
and
accommodated
for
more,
instead
of
being
left
in
a
loud
emergency
room
without
any
expectations
of
being
seen
unless
we
chose
to
wait
for
over
6
hours
minimum.
In
conclusion,
I
would
not
recommend
visiting
this
hospital
unless
you
have
no
other
choices.
They
will
not
see
you
unless
you
even
if
you
are
crying
in
agonising
pain
and
choose
to
see
others
who
are
practically
coming
in
for
a
script.
