Poor process & long wait time in Emergency. I spent 8 hyhours in Emergency with my husband last night. He had High blood pressure and had some symptoms that had us concerned that there was perhaps cardiac issues. after the initial 8 hrs we were advised to return following day for a carotid ultrasound appointment. Once ultrasound was completed we had to go back to Emerg dept reregisyer follow the admittance process again only to wait for hours to have doctor review the ultrasound results. This was not just a waste of time, but subjecting is unnecessary to exposure of sick patients while we wait in a common room. Not to mention how poor a decision it is have us to create additional strain on an already stressed department by adding patients who’s results were clear wait for hours while others are not getting the care they need. Stop running hospitals like government agencies and start running then like businesses. All for private care.
