I was brought into the emergency room after a suicidal attempt, and I was greeted with nurses who made fun of me and laughed at me because I had attempted to overdose. I waited 6 hours in the ER and a nurse only came to check on me once or twice (and this isn't even a big hospital.)
Throughout my stay in the hospital, I was chided, harassed and made fun of since I was depressed and suicidal by the doctors and nurses. Also, the doctor pushed pills (which only made my depression worse) so he could get paid by the pharmaceutical company.
Since I had no insurance, I had to pay for the bill in full. UPMC dilly-dallied around and waited near the expiration time to tell me about charity care which I was denied.
This big-business conglomoration DOES NOT give a d**n about their patients. They only care about money. DO NOT GO TO UPMC!!! Go to Jefferson or Mercy or Forbes instead! FIGHT CORPORATE AMERICA!

I can't comment on the behavior of the clinical staff, but from what you've written, it sounds like they were completely unprofessional.
You can call UPMC McKeesport and ask for the Patient Relations office, and lodge a complaint there. If it's not resolved at this level, you have further recourse. From the McKeesport website:
