I spent 3 days here and after I finally got in a room it wasn't as bad as what I thought it would be considering all of the craziness I watched coming and going in the emergency room for nearly 16 hrs while I waited on a bed upstairs. The Drs and nurses for the most part were very friendly and good about explaining what my personal health issues were. I think they could use more janitors though because this place was filthy and the food was cold and dry.
