Review of Tri-City Medical Center

Came in experiencing a true neurological emergency...

Came in experiencing a true neurological emergency. (I have been diagnosed with a rare neurological condition for over a decade and have extensive experience in hospitals) I was brought in barely conscious and shaking profusely, with other symptoms. We were stopped and shushed off by an employee who wouldn't even listen to my husband or myself (what little I could communicate), when finally called in to triage again we we're cut off from trying to frantically explain that I was warned I may be having issues with an aneurysm and to immediately head to the closed emergency center. They refused to hear about my medications. They ignored my dangerously high blood pressure. Once being shooshed, YET AGAIN to the waiting room we waited an hour til I was wakeful enough to convince my husband to take me elsewhere that would understand the signs of a neurological emergency.

This is the place you come to if you have a broken bone or the flu. If you have a life threatening issue, you can expect to be silenced and left to sit.
