We were at Mercy last week and it was horrendous. 15yr old and I went to ER at 9:45 and got checked in, waited about 30min and got triaged and vitals done. Sat for hours. Got to a room, no vitals done. Waited for a long time, she did get an IV and pain meds, blood work done. Waited for an ultrasound, waited for results. Decided to do a CT, by this time it’s like 2pm. Surgeon comes in at 4, we talk and decide to do surgery. There were other cases ahead of us, but between essentially 4-8ish absolutely no updates, I asked for more pain medicine before I left at 5 to rush home and get clothes for both of us. She didn’t get the medicine until almost 6. An hour after I left (grandma was there) didn’t get to the OR until 9. Room at midnight. Got discharged at 10 the next morning. Mercy also was way too relaxed when my MIL went in with a BP of 209/94, Mercy sucks.

It’s been an issue on public and private land. Worked somewhere where this was a huge issue people trespassing. I’d have liked to see maybe a campground opened for them. Kinda like some of these transitional communities for former addicts. No drugs or alcohol. But hopefully some resource for addiction.
