There have been several people who have died at Southeastern Regional Medical Center who initially went to the ER. Multiple times they were sent home and had to come back to the ER because illness was left untreated and they died (a toddler was one of the deaths). SERMC has been investigated for these deaths too. This is why me and my family go to Cape Fear Hospital in Fayetteville or the hospital in Laurinburg. I have been to the ER different times in my past and their only treatment was drugs and pushed me out the door. I was discharged and had a follow up with my family doctor who told me to go to Duke because the sickness was so severe and I should have not been discharged so early. When my child's school packet questioned which hospital to be taken to, I definitely marked another hospital. While in the ER I have noticed that the area where the nurses and doctor's reside in the center of the floor, it is more like a nightclub and less like a professional establishment. I have sent major complaints but nothing was founded. My complaints came back that they did what was required which is the very minimal. I described the event to Duke Medical and the attending doctor was even appalled. I highly discourage anyone from been seen at SERMC if this is your first choice unless it is a dire emergency and is last resort but make sure to have a friend or family member with you/oversee you. SERMC does have some lawsuits against them as well. Good luck.
