  I have never been more disappointed and irritated in my life. My wife was running a fever of 101.5. Her primary physician was closed on Friday so we decided to go to the Burke Medical Center ER. Her temperature was over 102 by the time we got there and all the receptionist was concerned with was the "new computer software". After about 45 minutes we finally made it back to triage. The nurse was more concerned with the "new computer software" than with my wife's condition. We requested a blanket since my wife was now having chills due to her elevated temperature. The nurse said, and I quote, "I don't think we are supposed to give out the blankets". My wife got the blanket and was put in a room near the back with the door cloed. 45 minutes later the doctor came by and said that he could give her some fluids and something for the body aches. We'll, you guessed it, 45 minutes and a visit to the nurse's station, they came by to give my wife the fluids with a "tiny" amount of pain killer. Our entire evening was spent there (over eight hours). The only time we could get a nurse to come by was after going to their station to ask them to do their job!!! During this time my wife's temperature went up to 103.2. The nurse left and 15 minutes later I had to go to the nurse's station to ask them to do something...Tylenol was all we got. 45 minutes later, there I was at the nurse's station again asking why no one had come by to check on my wife. Their answer, this is golden, "We gave her Tylenol and it's been less than an hour". All of the tests were complete and the doctor was releasing my wife with two prescriptions. 45 minutes later, I had to make two separate visits to the nurse's station in order to get our paperwork and have the IV removed from my wife's arm. OK, my ranting is over and yes this is a true story (do the math and you will realize that I left out some of the time spent there). There has been much discussion about the failing status of this hospital over the past few years. After our experience tonight I think this is the best thing that could happen to this hospital. Maybe all of the employees could get the opportunity to train in an environment that realizes that the patient is their job. Without the patients there is no hospital.

  The old woman who works in infection control is a real rude ass who like to start problems for people over the smallest things. This hospital has gone down a lot over the years and is time the board did something about it and cleaned up the mess around there. The only good thing in there is the cafeteria! Their food and service is beyond awesome as long as that staff stays we will always come in for the good food!
