I feel lucky that Emergency Room at Raritan Bay Medical Center in Old Bridge, NJ does not have a good reputation for whatever reason.
In practical terms it means it was almost empty when we got there and it took us a whole five minutes waiting for a doctor. We were done in 90 minutes in and out and it included a minor surgery.
Staff was great, they helped my kid relax; then worked quickly and efficient. All in all our first visit to emergency room was flawless.
Doctor is about to stitch Katya’s wound:
- Doctor, how long will it take?
- 30 minutes or so.
- Do you have any books for me to read then?

AGHHHH !
