The nurses in the ER would ignore us when we would come in with any other patient other than a trauma entry. We would stand blocking the entrance to their work area with the gurney and just stare at them until someone acknowledged us. Even when you would say “hi” no one would even look at you. I hated going there. If that’s how they treated fellow health care professionals, I can only imagine the patient care. Their patient rooms are a mess to get to too from the ER, where you had to go into this weird subterranean tunnel that would graze the top of my head (I’m just under 6 foot) and then you go DOWN to the 8th floor, pop out the elevator, pop into another, go up to the tenth floor, walk through another maze. Get ignored again, and finally get to the patient you are transferring. The weirdest hospital ever.
