My 94 year old aunt fell and had to go to the er. First they said she had a hairline hip fracture. Sent her home(assisted living). Two days later er calls her saying to come back to er to see how she is ?? Really! She goes back they say she has two slight fractures. Sends her home again. She falls a week later, while in er doctor calls me saying she having a heart attack. Put her on blood thinner and admit her saying she can t get out of bed and could have a heart attack anytime . New dr comes in on Tuesday, says she has a loos pin in her hip from previous surgery and no break and that her heart is ok. Next day, another cardiologist is there saying he thinks AHS didn t have a heart attack. They will not help clarify anything for us, she at 94, wants no surgery or tests and they will not honor her wishes!!! Do NOT go there!!! It s horrible you can t be sure of good care or doctors who know what they are doing!!
