Still at the ER actually. Been here since before 9AM and it is currently 1:00PM. My daughter is 4 (today actually) and the waiting room was empty when we showed up. She has a wound and there are red lines forming from it that's started this morning (signs of early sepsis if the Internet is to be believed) So we brought her in just in case. Since we arrived, 6 other people have gone back before us that showed up after us. Two of which that seemed to be in fine health (other than the handcuffs and police escorts they had). Really shows how they prioritize patients here. If you have a medical emergency, be prepared to wait 4 hours or go somewhere else. This isn't an emergency… read full review

Worst hospital ever to go if you’re having an emergency . They made a false statement saying that I ended up leaving the hospital without letting them know, while I was waiting for hours. You could die and they wouldn’t even care or know

Left after 3 hrs. Stage 2 hypertension, head injury and monoxide poison 5 days prior. Urgent care would NOT see me as they said get to ER, Poison control same thing. Came in double visio high blood pressure dizzy light sound head pounding. Watched people come in after me, one guy actually fast walking to get food real quick seen before me and came in after me....So apparently while every other entity saw this as an emergency...Albany ER could care less. I told UC Albany Er is not where you go for help due to past ineptness but since they refused to see me as it was a stat issue....but hey they get to bill a huge bill n get their money right? My voice to text works better… read full review
