I was taken to PRMC by ambulance after experiencing a ripping sensation in my hip while exiting my vehicle. I was unable to move due to the excruciating pain and had to be dragged out of the vehicle by my partner and laid on the ground until emergency services arrived. The EMS staff quickly and kindly administered medicine to ease my suffering, but everything changed once we arrived at PRMC. I was left waiting in agony for what seemed like hours and when the doctor arrived he performed no physical exam, did not ask for diagnostics, and became smug and disinterested when he discovered that I had a history of anxiety. It was abundantly clear that he saw me as a hysterical woman making a big deal out of nothing. After waiting and waiting and waiting and eventually my mother tracking down a staff member to get us released, I was discharged for a prescription for Valium, a muscle relaxer, with absolutely no attention paid to the excruciating pain in my hip and no answers about the ripping sensation.

I hope I never have to set foot in that sorry excuse for a hospital again. Next time we have an emergency we'll drive 30 minutes to Atlantic General.

Take my word for it; unless you've been shot or stabbed and you're bleeding out, don't waste your time or money on PRMC. If I could give them negative stars, I would.
