Olive View-UCLA Medical Center Emergency Room

Misdiagnosed: The doctors here have no real clue what they are doing. I go into the emergency to get checked out and couldn't sleep because I was constantly coughing and coughing up phlegm. I tell the doctor that I think I'm having sinus headaches and he brushes me off. Listens to my chest to finds no congestion. Makes me wait 3 hours for covid and flu test results. Tells me and prescribed medicine for chest congestion... Makes me worse. I stop it and find my favorite sinus medicine instead, start recovering. If you need a hospital, anywhere but here is better.

My niece was in a car accident and was brought to Olive View hospital. She had injured back in an injured arm. She was brought there by ambulance. You would think somebody would have seen her immediately, but no. They had her sit in the emergency Waiting room for 5 hours. They kept saying somebody will come see you soon, but nothing happened. She was able to get an x. Ray, but three hours later still hasn't heard anything about it. No doctor came to see her. This is a terrible hospital. If somebody's in a car accident, you would think they would be seen immediately but apparently not. My niece ended up leaving to go to another hospital to be seen immediately.
