If someone had a choice, they should not come here to the emergency room. The place was overcrowded and filthy. There’s no social distancing in the waiting room I was in the waiting room for 10 hours before getting a bed because they decided I must stay for many more tests and observation. When I got a bed, I shared room with 6 others and one public restroom that was also filthy A hospital, a health place need to be cleaned
Exceptional staff @ the emergency room. Too many people were there and they go over and beyond to help. I was in and out in no time, one of the doctors step out and took me straight to the ophthalmology department not to make me wait longer time at the emergency room!
The security in the emergency waiting room makes patients feel like they are at intake for county jail, repeatedly coming in and staring everyone down giving the room an uneasy feeling like we've done something wrong. A homeless lady had been released and the security made her leave in the rain, there was no compassion in the way he told her to leave. A patient should not be treated like they are in jail when they seek medical attention.
Further more the security guard is racial profiling the lady he told to leave was white and there is a Hispanic man who is homeless that is sleeping in the waiting room and has said nothing to him. It's a sad day when you are treated unfairly because of your ethnicity! UCI just got a huge black eye.
