I will rate the emergency room, near Bass Pro Shops in Garner as "STELLAR" being highly motivated, organized and capable.
I will rate the hospital on New Bern Avenue as sufficiently disorganized as to justify concern for anyone considering using it, or especially in the case of taking someone you care for, there. While there from March 25-27, 2026, for an infection in my right foot, I was scolded by a female Muslim doctor in front of 4-5 female medical students of some kind, a male "almost doctor" (still in the pipeline) and a very patient and professional, male EMT fella. The doctors in this hospital should be required to wear "bodycams" and if this Muslim female doctor had, she would have been fired that day.
I am an honorably retired (20+ years) former US Army Paratrooper, Special Forces (SFQC 3-83) and Delta Force (OTC-18) combat veteran Operator / Sniper, with a service-connected disability rating of 100 percent (P+T) for a kidney transplant. During my Army career and in every other instance requiring medical services, I have never encountered the general lack of organization and focus on priorities that are at best of little importance to the health and welfare of any American patient, as I did at / in Wake Med. You should truly be ashamed of yourselves. Simply awful.
And I'm using restraint,
