Visiting the DCH Emergency room is a complete waste of time and money

I visited the emergency room on Sunday April 2, 2017 with pain in my throat and immense problem with swallowing.

The person who had the title of doctor ( I think he is a phoney) first told me that my situation was not a true emergency. He then asked me what I would like for him to do? If I knew the answer to that question I would not be in the emergency room, now would I?!?!?!

The hospital charged me $150 to run some tests. The $150 charge was the only efficient part of my visit. After the tests, the doctor did not offer a diagnosis nor any treatment.

I left the hospital in the same amount of pain and trouble as I entered. The only difference was the money DCH took from me.

This is a worthless hospital. Stories like this are the reason so many people in Tuscaloosa prefer to get treatment in Birmingham, AL
