My friend got hurt and had to go to the emergency room in Mercy Medical Center. She waited 2 hours before the doctor even looked at her. It would be one thing if the hospital was busy, but there were no more than 4 other patients in the emergency room. This is considered a light load in terms of emergency rooms. After after x-rays were taken we waited another hour for the doctor to give his diagnosis. The staff in the hospital were not friendly at all. They told my friend that they didn't believe her when she described some of her symptoms. She had a minor cut on her leg that was bleeding, but not gushing blood. The doctor did not clean it or put any bandages on it. She asked the doctor to clean it up. After and hour she asked a nurse to clean it up. The nurse gave her some alcolol wipes and one band-aid that was not large enough to cover the cut. She ended up cleaning and bandaging the wound herself. The whole ordeal took 5 hours. Avoid this hosiptal at all costs.
