The ER needs a complete overhaul. The wait times are crazy and pts are left in beds outside corridors for days because there are no beds available. I was told by PRN's, some Drs. who work at the hospital to keep driving to New Milford, Bridgeport or Yale. 36 yr old woman friend had terrible migraines, etc, it was due to spinal CSF leak that needed to be patched.Procedure done at Danbury Hosp and very little anesthesia. She still had issues. Went to Yale and they said, the procedure was done incorrectly. Mother of 4 small children. She said the care was exceptional and the surgery went well. They also gave her something to relax to make the procedure less painful I would never go to Danb Hospital. I'll drive to Yale, New Milford or Bridgeport. They need a complete new management overhaul.

Last night registered at the ER at 9:45 pm and had to wait until the next day at 5;45 am and this at the age of 84 Unprofessional behavior, especially in honest patient relations ! Pfui !

On February 21, I went to the Emergency Department because I was experiencing severe heartburn. Upon my arrival, I underwent the usual monitoring and was seen by several physicians. I was given a GI cocktail, which relieved my symptoms, and I felt much better afterward. At that point, I asked if I could be discharged and have any recommended cardiology testing arranged through my primary care physician during the following week. I was told that I could not leave because the cardiology tests had to be performed in the hospital before I could be released. I remained in the hospital overnight based on that explanation. However, no cardiologist ever came to see me, and no cardiac testing was performed. The following day, when I asked when the testing would take place, I was simply told that I was being discharged. The bottom line was that there was no one available to do the testing and there was no reason for me to stay overnight. I feel there was no need for billing me for the overnight stay either. It's reasons like this that Danbury Emergency room has the reputation they have. There's never followup!!!

Me and my fiancé came in on a slow night because she was miscarrying our child. We finally got to a room after 3 hours and there were blood specs all over the room. Also in the emergency waiting room it was so many people sick coughing they never wipe done any seats. Patience came and left and seen patience sit in same unsanitary seats. I also saw nurses with there ear pods in there ear the whole time. You can hear nurses complain about there computer screen keep dying.

If I can give it no stars I would, I’m actually laying on a bed with cancer, all Hours of the night nurses are yelling lights going on . I’m in a bed right now waiting 3 hours now for my medications that I still haven’t received

ITS LIKE SCHOOL WHERE NO ONE IS EDUCATED ENOUGH TO SIMPLY CONNECT DOTS IN A CHART OF ANSWERS! Afib heart malfunction number 5! But, this time with stroke symptoms, and an identified cyst near my heart thru a mammogram. But! I keep getting sent home with no tests telling me!!!! " I have anxiety and vertigo!!!!! " For 5! Years Straight. BUT! now I cant work! SO, NEXT!!!!!!!!

The part of Danbury Hospital I am reviewing is PRAXAIR CANCER CENTER. I was an employee of PRAXAIR, INC., WORKED WITH THE CEO, CFO, COO, VP’s. WHEN PRAXAIR DONATED $2 million TO BUILD THE EXISTING PRAXAIR CANCER CENTER, I WAS THE ONE WHO WROTE THE CHECKS. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT REALIZE, KNOW THAT I WOULD END UP BEING A PATIENT THERE. I WAS ADVISED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN MY BLOOD WORK CAME BACK SAYING I WAS KNOCKING ON DEATH’s DOOR. GOOD DOCTORS ARE 1 IN A MILLION, I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN SEEN BY ONE IN THE ER. OF COURSE WHAT TRANSPIRED INTO QUITE A LONG STORY WHICH I WILL NOT DELVE INTO. WHEN I WAS ALLOWED TO RETURN HOME FROM YALE NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL, I WAS FOLLOWED BY THE SAME DOCTOR WHO SAW ME IN THE ER FOR A DURATION IF 15 YEARS. AT THE BEGINNING EVERY OTHER DAY, THEN ONCE A WEEK, THEN ONCE A MONTH, FINALLY ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR THOSE 15 YEARS, THIS WONDERFUL DOCTOR ENDED UP LEAVING PRAXAIR CANCER CENTER, INTERESTINGLY SO DID HIS ENTIRE STAFF. WHAT TRANSPIRED THEREAFTER WAS HORRIFIC. A FEMALE DOCTOR WAS FOLLOWING ME, ROUTINE BLOODWORK. A REPORT CAME BACK FROM A FINGER TEST WHERE I WAS DYING AGAIN. I WAS VERY PUT OUT SINCE FOR 15 YEARS MY PROGRESS HAD STABILIZED AND MY BLOOD REPORT NUMBERS WERE WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. I QUESTIONED THIS DOCTOR, SHE SAID THEY WOULD DRAW BLOOD FROM THE VEIN AND OF COURSE A NORMAL READING. I LEFT THAT DAY, UNNERVED, ANGRY. THAT DOCTOR LEFT DANBURY HOSPITAL. ANOTHER DOCTOR TOOK HER PLACE, WHERE WHEN I HAD MY APPOINTMENT HIS NURSE WAS GOING TO DO A FINGER TEST. I BEGAN ARGUING WITH HER UNTIL SHE SAID SHE WOULD TALK TO THE DOCTOR. SURE ENOUGH BLOOD DRAWN FROM THE VEIN. I LEFT THAT APPOINTMENT FURIOUS. I THEN PAID A VISIT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER AND QUESTIONED WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THESE FINGER TESTS. SHE SAID THEY WERE DOING FINGER TESTS ON CHEMO PATIENTS. THAT IS WHEN I LOST IT, I LET HER KNOW IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT I WAS NOT A CHEMO PATIENT, IF ANYONE BOTHERED TO READ THE RECORDS/CHARTS OF THE PATIENTS THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN I NEVER HAD CHEMO AFTER I LEFT YALE NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL. SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT IN RED IN MY CHART TO DRAW BLOOD FROM THE VEIN, WHICH ACTUALLY WAS NOT NECESSARY AS I GOT ALL MY RECORDS, TESTS, EVERYTHING AND NEVER WENT BACK TO THAT FACILITY. TRIED TO SUE/BRING FORTH A LAWSUIT, MALPRACTICE. THESE DOCTORS DO NOT READ CHARTS, DO NOT CARE, AND YET WANT TO BE REVERED AS OMNIPOTENT. ACTUALLY THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR SCREWING WITH PATIENTS LIVES/HEALTH. A WORD OF ADVICE, WHEN GOING TO BE SEEN BY A DOCTOR, WE PATIENTS KNOW A LOT MORE THAN THEY DO, THEY DO NOT CARE, JUST PRESCRIBE DRUGS TO KEEP US PACIFIED, LIKE PUTTING A PACIFIER IN A BABY’s MOUTH TO SHUT THEM UP. WE PATIENTS SUFFER MORE AT THEIR HANDS THAN DOING ANY GOOD. BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE, DO YOUR RESEARCH, WHEN A DOCTOR PRESCRIBES A DRUG/MEDICATION AND SAYS DO NOT LOOK IT UP ON THE COMPUTER, DO NOT LISTEN AND LOOK IT UP AND DO NOT TAKE THAT DRUG/MEDICATION. LOOK FOR SIDE EFFECTS, OFTEN THESE DRUGS DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. BE SMARTER THAN THESE DOCTORS WHO ONLY WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR DRUGS AND REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PATIENT. ACTUALLY PROBABLY BETTER OFF NOT GOING TO DOCTORS AT ALL. A CO WORKER WENT TO A DOCTOR, THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED A DRUG AND SAID SHE WOULD NEVER TAKE THAT DRUG. DOCTORS ARE OWNED BY THE PHARMA COMPANIES AND THE PATIENTS ARE THEIR TESTS. WHY DO THEY BECOME DOCTORS IN THE FIRST PLACE??
