Gettysburg Hospital

My experience here has been positive. While the reasons for my visit have been persistently negative, the hospital staff, nurses, and doctors have all been very accommodating and have done their best to help the patient.

Now no one ever really has a GOOD experience in a hospital, but the bad experiences I've had here are amazingly bad. They once forgot my husband was there for 8 hours. They threatened to call security and police when I rushed past them to his room in the back of the emergency room(old emergency room, before the upgrade), until they found my husband in it, unresponsive, still hooked to the same now empty IV bag they gave him 8 hours prior. They were blown away that he was really there after they had lied repeatedly saying he wasn't. So for 8 hours my husband laid there clinging to life while they did absolutely nothing. There were literally no other patients in there when he was admitted and none 8 hours later. Now, obviously they must have had a few people throughout the day, but no excuse at all for forgetting my husband. This is just one of the worst of many bad experiences there. I recommend any other hospital or none at all. Probably cheaper to just die at home rather than paying to die forgotten in the hospital.

I am visiting my dad here.
