My husband had the misfortune to be taken by ambulance to this hospital after feeling sick at a meeting for work. The hospital was almost two hours away from our home. They kept him for 5 days and were so slow in taking the tests needed. When they were finally taken it took another day or so just to get someone to read the reports. They thought my husband might have a carotid artery and after at least 5 tests still werent't sure. My family came to pick him up on a Sunday since we live far away and the discharging doctor let us wait for more than 4 hours in the room waiting for her. She still hadn't come and after such a long time, we left him in the hospital all because he needed a note saying he could go back to work. The rudest doctors work there although the nurses were nice to my husband.They didn't communicate well and as his wife knew nothing what was going on with their findings. They need to take a lesson on how to run a hospital from University of Pennsylvania Medical and get on the ball.
