Excellent experience here. My daughter developed a severe reaction to an improperly dosed medication. She had all the symptoms of a severe reaction, and the med was clearly indicated. We went to Waterbury Hospital the previous evening and it was abysmal. They ignored every symptom, and she worsened while she was sitting in a hall for 5 hours, and they blew off the new symptoms, and discharged her with an antihistamine.

Fast forward 7 hours, she worsened significantly, and a friend recommended Mid State. They got her inside in seconds... We walked in, and two nurses whisked her away before we got a few steps in the door. They carefully listened, did not dismiss her symptoms, the med she was on, and ensured she would get the proper treatment, which was to transfer her to the Connecticut Burn Center (the reaction was so bad, it necessitates treatment in a burn center). We are grateful and thankful to the doctors and nurses there and my only regret is that I didn't go to this ER first.
