My husband had to wait 40 hours in the emergency room before they were able to find him a bed. His nurses in the ER were excellent and apologetic, but he was seriously ill when he went into the ER and waiting for 40 hours for a bed to be available is bonkers. When I went to check on him, there were patients in the halls and the waiting room was full. Earlier in the summer, my son was there for a concussion evaluation. There were no pediatric specialists or even a pediatrician available to see him and he saw a neuro with zero bedside manner for kids/teens. When your kid is having an allergic reaction or your spouse is having a heart attack, going 40 minutes down the Pike or Route 9 isn't an option.
Since Tufts took over the cancer center and seems to run the heart center many are waiting to hear that Tufts will take over the full hospital. It already runs several other Mass hospitals
Several nurses both at MetroWest and Tufts in Boston told me this seems to be in the works. Is this all in hush hush mode till various approvals are arranged?
Or can MetroWest be fixed ?
I’ve also heard from patients that the Tenet run St Vincent’s in Worcester is night and day above Metrowest . Why can’t they do it in Framingham ?
