1 /5 Jennifer Foyt: My experience at Baylor the last two times I have gone were awful. The first time we went was because I couldn’t breathe and my oxygen was low. I sat in the waiting room for four hours progressively getting worse. I ended up leaving and going to Methodist were I was admitted for three days with severe pneumonia and had to be kept on oxygen. Baylor called 5 hours later after I left to tell me they could see me now. I was already admitted at Methodist. The second time I went to Baylor ER at 230AM on a Saturday and was not able to walk, sit, lay down due to a horrible spasm I was having in my back. The three nurses it took to get me out of my car were amazing, BUT again. I sat in the waiting for 8 HOURS in agonizing pain. I again ended up leaving at 1030AM and went to Methodist. I was seen at Methodist right away and they stabilized my pain, gave me a script and I was discharged with in two hours. I understand Baylor doesn’t have the capacity for what it takes in, but there was a man literally with his head laid open and blood running down his face and he sat just as long as I did. I don’t know if that poor man ever got seen. People will die waiting in the waiting room at Baylor. The staff was horribly rude also. Bed side manner at Baylor is awful. I do understand it’s high stress, high pace, but you have people that are sick and scared and being rude and interrogating does not help the matter. After my last 8 hour wait I will now just go to Methodist. Baylor is three minutes from my house, but I’ll drive right past it and 20minutes down the highway before I go there again.
