I broke my wrist and after waiting 12 and a half hours in their ER, they sent me home with nothing saying it wasn't broken. A week later I had not slept for days and knew it was broken and called complaining and a triage nurse said actually the xrays show that it is broken.

On another occasion I went in to the ER for a severe skin infection. They didnt do anything and the Doctor was a huge jerk, even saying "What do you want me to do, I'm not a specialist!"

On yet another occasion I had to have my father bring me to the hospital because I was severely dehydrated. He saw first hand the disgusting way they do things at the hospital. I was so dehydrated that I thought I was going to die and the nurse who took my vitals tried to kick me out for not answering what my age was fast enough for her.

So many more bad experiences here but I think you got the idea already. Good luck if you do decide to take your chances here. The patient advocate is also worthless. I fought in the Iraq war for 14 long months 2007 - 2008 and this is what I get in return? Dont even get me started on how they treated my friend who was in 82nd AB with a purple heart...
