Quote from Brandonf:
Well, I've done more research on Drew/King and the place is just fucked up. If I hated someone, I'd send em to Drew/King. I found a blog from an ER doctor there, and its just sick. The place is a building pretending to be a trauma center. They maintain status as a Trauma Center, but they really are not. About 1/3 of the time, for example, there is NOT A SINGLE RADIOLOGIST IN THE BUILDING, and the administrators stipulate that only radiologists can read MRI's, CTs, and Xrays coz because of insurance purposes. So, the ER doctor can for example order a CT, but you might wait 4 or 5 hours after its been done before anyone decides to come around and read it. Surgeons the same thing, as a trauma center they are always supposed to have surgeons around..not so @ Killer King, about 20% of the time there are no surgeons. So, what of the guy who comes in and needs a CT (wait 5 hours till the radiologist comes in) that tells them he needs surgery (oh damn, the surgeon just left and wont be back for 3 or 4 hours either. Your SOL. This ER doctor talked of rampant drug use and alcholism among staff nurses and doctors at staff, that many of them come to work drunk and high.
The place should be shut down, and its the dumb politician hood rats running it that should go to prison for what happened to this woman. This place is like a gun that occassionaly shoots backwards. It does not need another nickle from the taxpayers of Cali, it needs to be closed.
