Disappointed to hear that $7 million Went into this hospital, there is no staff behind triage wen entering emergency room , waiting times before and after triage is ridiculously dangerous, unprofessional nurses and not friendly, 6 to 12 hours wait to see a doctor with chest pain and a high heart rate should not be acceptable, no standard procedure by nurses, no discharge papers, discharged with serious life threatening symptoms on the base that the hospital doesn’t have the equipment that is required for tests , doctors dismiss the right for a second opinion, doctors not doing transfers to a hospital that has the equipment for test due to them feeling like there is no evidence for them to do a transfer, but the only way of having evidence would be by the tests that the doctors can’t do because they don’t have the equipment, my opinion after being in ED more then 10 times , perhaps somewhere in that $7 million staff could be educated and the hospital could be more equipped!

Yeah, in rural South Australia, the Public hospital ED's patients are actually "private" and charge accordingly if you are not admitted to the hospital! A person on a disability pension visited the ED here in Murray bridge 4 times over 3 weeks and now he has a $1300 bill to pay back..
