If I could give a negative 5 stars I would! I suffer from migraines and had been prescribed Vicodin as a treatment. I only get the prescription filled as needed which is about once a year for 30 pills. Not even close to being enough to be addicted to it. I suffered a migraine episode and didn't have my medication. I took my tablet into the ER with me so I could go to the health portal of my primary care network so they could see that I truly have a proscription and how often I take it, and that I wasn't some junkie. The doctor totally disregarded my health history and reused to give me just 1 pill to alleviate my pain. Instead I was hot up with 4 different pain medications within a 2 hour period. No of the medications worked, and long story short I was discharged and tole if the pain doesn't go away come back. Well 2 hours later I'm now drugged up, with a migraine. So I go back to the ER and they finally give me my regular medication. A month later I'm charged with 2 hospital visits!!!! Even after the doctor documented my conversation and experience, they told me I would be financially responsible for both charges. I told them that I should not be charged for the second visit since I was told to come back due to their doctor not giving me the care I needed. CMC was unconcerned about my experience and told me I would be responsible for both charges! I would NEVER go back into this hospital again. They should be ashamed of themselves.
