I went in because my neck was stiff and my left arm was numb, I explained I had a cervical c6-c7 fusion and how I was awoken by a "crunching" sound in my neck and the shooting pain in my arm! I was sent in for an x-ray of my head and then placed on an EKG machine, then sent for blood work? My insurance company was billed for OVER $17,000.00 because of tests that were done that were NOT NEEDED! I won't even go into details about how I kept getting sent back to the waiting room even after a line was put in my arm! I received better care from a combat medic in the sand box, that knew way more than any of these quacks that treated me that day. Is this your protocol to over charge individuals and their insurance company for un necessary tests? This is one of the worst hospitals I have ever been treated at in my life! I would tell my friends to seek help from the humane society before going to this hospital! I have filed a complaint with my insurance company about the over charges for these ridiculous charges for tests that were never needed.
