Deep
disappointment
and
anger
with
the
service
at
the
emergency
room
department.
We
checked
in
about
15
minutes
before
4pm,
and
were
told
that
only
one
parent
can
accompany
our
daughter
for
the
visit.
About
ten
minutes
later
I
saw
a
white
husband
and
wife
leaving
the
emergency
room
with
their
child,
both
of
whom
had
a
visitors
badge/sticker
affixed
to
their
shirts.
I
brought
this
up
to
the
security
guard
and
check
in
counter
and
was
told
again
that
only
parent
can
accompany
the
child.
I
felt
I
had
been
singled
out
and
prejudged,
and
others
were
getting
preferential
treatment.
About
one
hour
after
checking
in,
a
nurse
came
and
took
our
infant
daughter's
temperature
and
found
it
to
be
104
F.
This
constitutes
an
emergency
situation,
in
fact
the
nurse
indicated
that
seizures
can
happen
when
temperature
reaches
104
F,
but
a
doctor
did
not
tend
to
her
for
another
3
hours.
What
is
the
purpose
of
an
emergency
room
if
not
to
tend
to
health
emergencies?
A
104
fever
for
an
infant
is
an
emergency.
We
are
lucky
that
her
condition
did
not
become
worse.
All
told
we
were
at
Childrens
hospital
for
5
hours,
leaving
around
9pm,
and
all
staff
members
we
dealt
with,
including
security,
check
in
staff,
and
nurses,
were
generally
cold,
racist,
rude,
flippant,
and
curt.
When
I
told
security
that
I
wanted
to
file
a
complaint,
he
said
I
could
talk
to
a
supervisor,
but
then
changed
his
mind
and
told
me
to
go
upstairs
to
front
desk
to
complete
a
form.
Of
course,
that’s
a
classic
decoy
to
deflect
the
responsibility.
No
one
reads
any
forms.
I
am
not
exaggerating
when
I
say
I
have
received
better
health
care
in
poor
developing
countries
than
my
experience
at
Children’s
hospital.
We
were
treated
like
third-class
peasants.
Avoid
this
place
like
the
plague.
