Review of North Suburban Medical Center

Do NOT use this ER! I came in because I was nauseous the night before my wedding. I received 2 bags of salene, some nausea meds, and was in a bed for 30 minutes. My bill total came to over $12,000!!!! On top of that, the nurse that administered my IV applied it completely wrong and I had severe bruising across my entire forearm for 2 weeks. I almost had to go to another ER to make sure I didn't have an infection! I've tried contesting the bill, but I can only get a hold of young call center ladies in some other state who have no idea how to assist me. The staff was very polite, so I hate giving a bad review, but this place practices horrible business!

Edit: Received my itemized bill, and it looks like I received nearly $3000 worth of services that I never authorized to and was never informed that I was getting. They performed ridiculous mounts of bloodwork that included a drug test... A DRUG TEST! Why would I go to the ER to get a drug test?

What can you do when a hospital lies about the services they gave you?
