Barberton Hospital

Barberton Hospital has to one of the worst hospitals in the Country. The ER is horrible, I had to take my husband to the ER on Wed evening, left work and everything to take him there for a swollen hand and arm. The staff did take his pulse, temp and bp after an hours wait from when we arrived, then called him for blood work an hour later. We sat there for over 3 1/2 hours watching people come in eating Mcdonalds, eating chips from the vending machine and drinking pop and coffee, who were there to be seen, for what I don't know. They were given rooms within an hour after they arrived, while my husband sat there in pain, he had a fever and needed to get on IV meds right away to keep from getting a staff infection, but they never called him so I asked how much longer at 8:30 pm and was told I have no idea, could be four hours or six depends. I am sorry, but I went off and said why are all of these people getting rooms, but he has to wait? Priority she said, excuse me! They are eating and walking and talking on cells phones, texting and playing around here in the waiting room and he is in pain and has a fever! I get another I am sorry, so I went back and told my husband and he decided to leave, he went back to speak to the nurse himself with his hand bright red laying on his chest, she told him the same and he said he was leaving. They did not even try to talk him into staying for treatment or ask him to sign a release, just let him walk out. Nice hospital.
