Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital

I fainted and suffered a bad fall in the shower yesterday. After struggling into my family doctor i was sent to the ER here for treatment. I say for 6 hours without any pain relief after being told twice i would receive it. The care level only keeps declining at this facility and I have lived here the majority of my life. There were two technicians who were very gentle and prompt. Of course they do not actually work inside the ER. This hospital is a shame. Truly not worthy to be called a hospital. I ended up leaving without any discharge papers, because, no one would bring them after I twice asked and waited over 20 minutes for them. I have called my family doctor again today, my neurologist, and an orthopedist. I've also called HCMH. They of course want to call me back. I just want proof i was there yesterday, except for my arm band. I think I might need it.

I will always prefer Winston but I'm still alive.

I took my fiance in for abdominal pain after surgery. They saw someone with a rash before they attempted to see him. We've been here 2 hrs and a half....no dr and not even a RN has stepped in to check on him yet. The VA triage line said to go to the closest facility, I will probably take him to the VA ER in Salisbury tonight anyway. 30 minutes to Hugh Chatham, and hour 15 minutes to Salisbury. This is totally ridiculous.

Very nice..qualified staff. This is the go to hospital in the area....bar none!!!!!!

Great ER,from the RN,NP and security. Very impressed.
