While I don't have a suggestion, I'm curious what hospital you ended up in? (So we can avoid it if ever in that predicament!)Last summer I had a medical issue and ended up at a dreadful hospital in Anaheim.
I'm fine now, but I thought it would be good to know for next time in case anyone in my party has an issue.
Planning on a happy, healthy trip, though
That happened when I was there, too! It was like an episode of ER, complete with swearing, screaming and police officers standing guard over someone's bed. It wasn't much better once I was admitted. I even asked if I could leave and go to another hospital, but it would have taken up even more of our trip time and lots of paperwork.Ha! I had the same thing happen a few years back and ended up at some ER that was quite scary. One person was brought in by police officers. Definitely watching this one thread.
It was called Anaheim Global Medical Center. It was horrendous. When we pulled up I asked my DH if he was sure it was a real ER, the entrance was in a sort of alleyway.While I don't have a suggestion, I'm curious what hospital you ended up in? (So we can avoid it if ever in that predicament!)
Here's hoping to healthy, happy trips for us all!
Here's a map with both locations circled.It was called Anaheim Global Medical Center. It was horrendous. When we pulled up I asked my DH if he was sure it was a real ER, the entrance was in a sort of alleyway.
I wish we'd looked into medical centers before we drove over, or turned around once we saw the entrance. We picked that one just because it was close.
The facility was old and gross, the doctors inconsistent and not very helpful, but...the nursing staff was very good and made a horrible experience somewhat tolerable.
In the ER they told me they get tons of Disneyland guests there. Another woman who came in at the same time as me was still wearing her Mickey ears.

It's like the biggest regret ever not going to UCI instead! We drove by it on our way out of town, and I was just like ugh. Could have been there and probably would have had better care.Here's a map with both locations circled.

Oh no! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, place too. It would be terrible at any time, but especially when you're supposed to be at Disneyland.OMG, THAT’S THE ONE!
We ended up here after making a visit to the beach and I slipped while exiting a van used to shuttle people from the parking and sliced my leg pretty badly. What a horrible place that ER was. Stay away.
Agree with this!UC Irvine or Children's Hospital of Orange County for pediatrics ...
It depends on what the problem is. My BIL got very sick at DLR and received very good treatment at the UCI ER for what turned out to be a bad sinus infection. He was seen quickly, and UCI accepted his insurance. For something more serious, another hospital might be a better option.Best hospitals within a short driving distance of DLR.
St. Joseph’s in Orange, St. Jude in Fullerton and Hoag Newport Beach. UCI Anaheim would not be at the top of my list.
I've always wondered about this. A few years ago, my SIL tripped on the main street tracks while carrying her grandson. Unfortunately, he fell and cut his forehead badly enough to require stitches. According to her account, the CM's only concern was washing the blood off the street, and she was left on her own to get her grandson back to the tram.I know at WDW, they will get you doctors or even transport you to a hospital
I travel solo and wanted an ID that was not on my wrist or around my neck.Thanks for this thread…something that hadn’t even entered my mind but now is included in my Disneyland file! Especially for an older person traveling alone.
