NKCH Emergency Department

I'm currently in the waiting room, asked for an EKG because of my chest pain and flushing. Meanwhile, the nurses are all laughing and joking together in a triage room. There's literally three nurses in there, and they are in no rush to help anyone it seems like. There is a gentleman nurse who is the only one who seems to care about my condition and unfortunately I think he is leaving for his shift. I love this hospital, I delivered my son here, but this is unacceptable and unprofessional behavior Also let me add two weeks ago my mom waited for 5 hours in the waiting room vomiting with a burst appendix.

UPDATE: Thank you for your reply, NKCH ER. However, in reading the other reviews here on Google, I'd say you are not interested in improving your service because the comments are all pretty much the same - as is your response pointing us to talk to someone else. Original post: The word "emergency" has no meaning here. While triage happened immediately, I then sat in the freezing cold waiting area for more than an hour. When I arrived there was only 3 people waiting.. In an hour they only called one person back to be treated, leaving two people ahead of me. I waited another half hour before leaving. I'm bleeding, in pain, and need treatment. Hopefully I can get my cut treated and a tetanus shot at a minute clinic because treatment apparently isn't something timely available at NKCH.

Waiting over 4 hours in triage with my wife at a level 10 abdominal pain. Other people were called back before us that got here after us. Joke of an ER

This is the worst hospital I have ever been to. Doctor came in once asked two questions and walked out. Never saw a nurse, never was asked how my pain was, it is a freaking joke. I feel sorry for the people that go to this hospital. I hope they were treated better then I was.
