I was seen by a female PA there and seemed sharp. She gathered my info and made a fairly reasonable diagnosis of asthma induced by virus (my interpretation of what she saw) and prescribed me two inhalers (Asmanex and Albuterol) and some cough medicine.

I returned to Copperview after going to an asthma specialist and was diagnosed with double pneumonia by another employeeand sent home with a z-pack.

Here is the problem: After two diagnoses from this place, my wife took me into the University of Utah Urgent Care after seeing the continual decline. They evaluated me and immediately passed me to their ER. Within one hour in their ER, I was transported by ambulance to the U of U Medical Center where I was diagnosed with Acute Congestive Heart Failure and Acute Pulmonary bilateral Embuli and was hospitalized for 8 days as they drained 40 lbs of liquid out of me and hooked me up to 4-6 liters of oxygen during that time.

I dont know about you, but when I am in the middle of CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE and PULMONARY EMBULISM, I probably need more than an inhaler and a Z-PACK. My use of this facility almost cost me my life.
