Not sure how this hospital has such a good reputation when word of mouth says they treat those with money much better then the poor. (Mind you I've heard this from one of their own employees). From my experience I was 16 weeks pregnant at the time and came due to pelvic pain. While there I had to sit in one of those hall way beds where I could hear others problems and they could hear mine, this violates HIPAA if you ask me. Anyways while I was there, I had to have 4 ultrasounds done YES 4 ultrasounds because their damn student nurses didn't know what the heck they were doing. One lady said she couldn't find my ovary and my baby's heart rate was 100, the next person said it was 150 and then back to 100 and no one seemed concerned. Anyone pregnant knows 100 bpm isn't normal around the later stages of pregnancy.. and you don't have to be a nurse to know that. Oh, then they thought I had an ovarian torsion, and they were WAY OFF.. they gave me some bs excuse as of why I should stay at the hospital that night. Me and my husband refused because of the poor quality service... and obviously no one knew what they were doing. As I left I was told me and my baby could die..as a scare tactic.

Well I'm still alive, and he's alive too.. a simple bladder infection was all it was.

Worst hospital I've ever been too. Stay away!
