When I was younger, I was taken in for intense stomach pain. I was told it was just "flu pains" and that I was fine. Over the week, I was brought in a couple more times, and told the same thing. The pain intensified to the point that I couldn't roll over in bed. My parents took me to the ER. Turns out I didn't have flu pains, but a ruptured appendix. I was rushed to emergency surgery. I came very very close to dying because of careless misdiagnosis and repeated negligence. There have been a few similar cases in my family over the years, serious complications or problems due to careless misdiagnosis or obvious apathy. I hear it time and time again from friends as well. I'm sure many of the people that work here are good people and mean well, but the healthcare provided here is atrocious and the doctors are not held accountable for anything. I will do everything in my power to make sure i'm never in the care of this hospital again. If it is not a medical emergency, I urge you to do the same. It is well worth the extra drive to go anywhere else.
