Review of Rolling plains memorial hospit...

I took my 14 year old into the Rolling Plains Memo...

I took my 14 year old into the Rolling Plains Memorial ER due to a sore throat, fever, and body aches. The ER Doctor performed no tests of any kind. He stated that they were out of the rapid Covid tests. I asked if they could do the regular one. He stated no. What happened to the regular Flu, Strep, or sinus infection tests. By listening to his lungs and looking in his ears and throat he believed that it is Covid. No test to confirm. However I was told I could take him to Abilene. This exam took maybe fifteen minutes. The doctor asked me if I had been sick. I had a fever for a day and a half. He then stated oh you probably had it too and just got over it quick.
I maybe mistaken but I believe we pay high taxes for our Hospital. The community deserves better. This is supposed to be the most dangerous virus around. Who knew that it can be diagnosed by sight and hearing. Is this what we are paying for. If I have to go to Abilene for this kind of medical service then why am I paying taxes for the Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital.
