Takes far too long to get treated. A nurse or doctor comes for about 60 seconds then disappears for 2 hours. At that point, someone else appears for 60 seconds and then clears off for two hours. After 20 hours, I had been treated. Would โ€ฆ

Misdiagnosed a friend and then gaslighted them. If you want to be made to feel that your pain is all in your head and have no followup diagnostics, this is the hospital for you. Recommended for anyone who wants hand-off experience of the current public health crisis.
