I took my daughter to the pediatric emergency room because she had been vomiting and complaining of sharp stomach pains for several hours. Within minutes we were checked into a private diagnostic room and the doctor on duty was examining her. All of the staff from the admitting clerks to the nurses and doctors were professional and compassionate. My daughter was made comfortable quickly. Anti-nausea medicine was administered to reduce cramping within short order. A stomach virus was thought to be the issue and they monitored her for several hours. An attempt to insert an IV tube to gather blood for lab work was not successful due the state of my daughters dehydration. However, the second dose of anti-nausea medicine finally quelled the vomiting and, with the added symptom of diarrhea, the doctor was satisfied that it was indeed a stomach virus and not a more dangerous condition. We were released and sent home after the staff was satisfied that my child was no longer rejecting liquids. My only concern is the information on the prescriptions we were given at discharge was inaccurate. My daughter has a severe allergy to penicillin but the prescription said there were no allergy concerns. Considering that she has been treated at AAMC for this condition in the past and I made mention of it multiple times to different personnel during this visit, it should not have been overlooked. Also, they did not update my address so it was listed incorrectly too. Despite this one concern with the information on my daughters prescriptions, I am overall very satisfied with the level of care offered at AAMC. Highly recommend.

The Rudest People Ive ever met, my fiancee was getting blood taken and i was told to wait but when i asked why i was the only one to leave the room when everyone else had someone back there they told me to calm down which if i was anymore calm i wouldve fell to the ground.. then after that they Proceeded to ask my Fiancee if i abuse her... not knowing i grew up in a Extremely violent upbringing watching my mother and myself being beat everyday of my Childhood for no Reason, ive never Hurt anyone in my life and when the Nurse said that all i could do was cry..ive never been to any other hospital that has treated me this way, I was born at this hospital and im not trying to take away from what this hospital has done for others but just as a Warning if you are young, and do not speak in a well manner just be prepared for being Belittled and made to feel as if you are two Inches tall.. ive been here on 4 Separate occasions and each time i have Recorded my visit because any time id complain about the staff they would just Shrug it off like i wasnt suppose to be there anyways.. if you have the option go to the Glen Burnie Hospital.. they will treat you like an Actual human Being when i told Glen Burnie Hospital what they did the Doctors were Shocked to hear about their behavior and told me id never deal with that at their hospital and to this day Glen Burnie Hospital will be the only hospital i will go to. Thanks for listening the Choice is yours.

Day Surgery - I have had day surgery at 4 hospitals in my life and the day surgery at this hospital is behind the times. There is very little privacy. There was a man sitting 2 feet away on the other side of the curtain with his foot sticking under. The doc wanted to talk about my private health issue but there was someone sitting a foot away. They did move me to a more private space which was good. There were no call buttons for the nurse. When I had to use the restroom, I just had to sort it out on my own. It was very noisy with little privacy. There is a patient liaison, when I mentioned this issue she said the building is old. In general the nurses said the building is old and out of date. In the recovery room I was sitting elbow to elbow with some strangers, no curtain drawn and again a nurse came to talk about my anatomy and procedure. I am used to other hospitals where there is far more patient privacy, call buttons for the nurse and a second gown to put over the first gown to avoid "bare butt". The pre-surgical nurse was very nice, the rest were aloof. My husband asked about me and one nurse just said "she is not my patient". I would avoid day surgery at this hospital, but we all need to go where our doctor is, so it is what it is.

Ceeloo plz

I had a ok experience from the staff could have been better but my first child was born there in 2013 and while my wife was their it was a older caucasain lady probably like in her early 50s I think she worked the late shift either overnight or midday seem not to want to cater to my wife I try not to jump to conclusions but I felt it too, think she may have been a little racists and didnt want to deal with black ppl. Also in 2014 my daughter was born and the interns they had checking her vitals and all when she was born seemed not to know what they were doing dont think you should have interns working on new borns but guess they have to learn somewhere but not on mines also didnt like how the intern told the father of the baby before mines congratations and the baby girl was beautiful but didnt acknowledge me when leaving or say my daughter was the same their interns need better customer service training dont say one is and not acknowledge the other also by the way my baby girl is gorgeous by the way.

My 85 year old mom was brought in by ambulance today after 5 pm for a fall which injured her left hip. The time it took till she was triaged and xrayed was poor. She remained in that ER cubicle for over 6 1/2 hours During which time they had no food to offer her and she hadnt eaten since 11:30am. Finally at 11:40 pm they have brought her to an observation room which isnt much better than ER room. This is our 4th trip to the ER in two years and first time she has not been given an actual room on the eldercare floor Never had she been deprived of a room or food. The staff is pleasant but dont have the authority or ability to provide the patient with quality care. I had to request oxygen for her when her levels dropped to in insufficient level. Alarms were beeping and no one came till I got them. I have always given this hospital glowing reports but unfortunately this has and is an awful experience.

This past week my family had an excellent experience with the pediatric emergency room. In quite the panic, we rushed our daughter in since she was breathing irregularly in the middle of the night. We were promptly directed to the pediatric ER from the main room, greeted immediately, and someone listened to her breathing on the spot. We saw a nurse promptly for triage, she was diagnosed with croup (thankfully just that) and we were in a private room within 30 minutes total. Dr. Fitzpatrick saw us promptly, provided us with an education on croup, treated our 1 year old, and had us back out the door within a total time of an hour and a half. I dont think I have ever had an ER experience that was as fast, and certainly not as efficient. Both of our babies were born at AAMC and I continue to be grateful that they are my local hospital. Kudos to the pediatric ER team for a stellar job.
