Review of Western Maryland Health System

My sister was in and out of this hospital so many times. She had several health issues. The doctors in the floor are called Hospitalists I'm not exactly sure if they are Pa's?? My sister was on many medications per her doctors one of many times one point she went to the hospital and couldn't breath. She was ordered a breathing treatment. A few days later she was back again and was admitte, she starting having other issues, bleeding in her abdomen also again she couldn't breath. Spoke with a nurse about other issues and I was told they treat the symptoms she came in with! WHAT..We Finally had her transferred to Potamac hospital. They checked her out, one reason she couldn't breath was she has congestive heart failure. The hospital said they were so surprised with the many things wrong her. They sent her by ambulance to Ruby memirial. My sister was there for 25 days . The doctor said there was so much wrong with her. He stated he would fix one thing wrong with her ,he would have an emergency on another issue. We were actually told she should of been there a lot sooner.The doctor finally suggested we bring her hime. My sister was home 5 hours before she passed. I spent a lot of time at western Maryland hospital. This hospital is like a clinic. I would never for any reason . There are many more things I could say, it's too many to continue writing.

I wonder how many people have lived vs the ones who didn't. This is all about the money. Terrible place for very I'll patients.
Teff, they need t
