Temple University Hospital: Emergency Room

Bintu Kabba

I was admitted yesterday could not breathe chest was tight. When I arrived the security was rude to me and then after I got checked in I wasn’t seen for two and a half hours but only like 3 people were in there. After I went to the back my doctor cut me off when I tried to explain my symptoms because they called her for trauma (I was in mid sentence). Then my nurse couldn’t take my blood correctly and the second time she tried it was such an excruciating pain. I cried so much yesterday. I was alone and they wouldn’t let my partner come to be with me. Then when I left and tried to fill my script today the pharmacy was confused at the script. They didn’t even call it in for me I had to bring the paper which was hard on me physically. Another thing… the facility looks like prison and has a bunch of homeless coming through. They need updates for sure. I just didn’t like the experience at all and won’t be back.

really need to try their best to do better caring for ppl, its ppl here thats been waiting for 10hrs in the waiting room. some ppl come in at 1pm and dont get seen by a doctor till 10pm. its ppl in pain and sick waiting.. i understand doctors do the best they can and are treating other patients but the hospital as a whole needs to come with a better plan to help out with the emergency/waiting room area.

I hate Reviewing medical facilities but after multiple visits hoping each time will get better, it gets worse. I get There are other patients. I’m usually pretty patient and I dont Like to complain. I’ve been to the CRC, I know How bad a facility could be. However, I felt Dismissed by the whole nursing team. After waiting and being upset I saw My nurse chilling across the hall and I asked If I can Leave and get my discharge paperwork. But she said if I leave I dont Get my referral and paperwork and said “a man almost died in the room next door” and I get That. That happened last time I was There. Maybe it’s the neurological damage but I’m tired of being dismissed by hospital staff because they can’t see a physical issue and that’s what you’ll get here. You don’t have a gun wound, they do not know how to treat you.
