They went straight to focusing on my broken wrist. The ER physician had to phone call in the ortho to review results. They said I basically needed surgery and performing a reduction was not necessary because of the break. I had a very distorted wrist and was in a lot of pain, worried about my risk condition and asked them to please proceed with a reduction and attempt. The physician attempted the reduction and no success. I left the hospital with a very soft bandage that looked like a CVS bandage for the splint and a broken arm for the rest of the day and night with hydrocodone medication. The next day, I decided to go to a better hospital than this one they had an ortho in the ER. They reset my arm and now they're telling me I do not need surgery. Don't go here. Additionally, the other hospital did a great job of checking the baby and transferring me to their OB unit.

I picked up my husband and took him to the hospital. No one would acknowledge him. He tried to ask for help and the security guard handed him a clipboard.

Even coming in by ambulance, they put you in waiting room to wait for room which is still minimum of 2 hours. They won't give you a wait time, but may give you a numerical order to be seen. Triage is okay. A nurse comes into the waiting room to get vitals (seems about 5-10 before you are called back to a room). If you ask for pain reducers, expect another 2 hours or to be forgotten. Seems that unless you are dead or unconscious, expect a long, unsatisfactory experience. Although this small hospital is under remodel, it is very unsanitary and literally has bugs crawling around the waiting room. The bed and room is so dirty, you have to worry about more than airborne germs. Disgusted with our experience. It is worth the drive to Calvert for sure!
