I had a terrible experience at HCA Kingwood Hospital Emergency R

Damourtrash :
Yeah... Me too. I'm sorry for your situation

Sophos2 : Brat:
You're not alone! They misdiagnosed me, then lied to us ... literally ... AND our doctor, and then had me "sleeping" in the hall of the ER because they had no room for me in the hospital. And wouldn't transfer me to another hospital.

I like the care better at MH than HCA. If you had to use another Hospital, which one would you use?

BrendaT :
That sounds about right. HCA has had horrible business practices for decades. Look up some of the fines and lawsuits. It's in the billions.

e :
MH has been fine.

Sophos2 : I just found out MH may be out of net work with my insurance. So I need a back up.

e :
Oh that sucks. I'm not sure where my insurance is sitting this year either. Need to do some more research but I have been waiting until after the move.

Damourtrash : Yup. They are solely responsible for my father in laws death.

I had a cerebellar stroke there. I was already in the ER because I thought it was my heart.
Cerebellar strokes come on violently and cause non-stop nausea and vomiting. All I wanted was some zofran but I couldnt get anything for hours. Not till the neurologist saw me and not for hours after that. Meantime they wanted to keep doing the heart tests and I said not now: I was really suffering. At any rate, they told me if I didnt have the heart test when the techs came in, they would dismiss me AMA.
I thought only patients could leave AMA. I mean why would they go against their own medical advice? I was suffering through the stroke and not overly co-operative, but really?
Anyway, I compained to the Patient Rep and they decided to give me two tickets to the movie theater.

I agree. Would never go there again. Nursing care, imo, was awful. They sent me home with some once else's discharge instructions.

Damourtrash :
I had a terrible experience there last August.
What a bunch of amateurs.
They do not show empathy or concern and are not kind.
I left because of it and ended up at an urgent care, where I was properly cared for.

EMS took me to Killwood after I fell outside. I face planted into my garage door on my way down & was knocked out. After 3 hours on a stretcher, an attending doctor "set" my arm & wrists by yanking REAL hard on them. My ulna bone in my arm is off center & my wrists will never heal per the Orthopedic doctor I went to see 3 days later. He offered to "break" everything over and re-set everything… but no guarantee it would work. So no thank you.

@CatalinaKitKat : That's where my DW took me when I had my last episode. I don't remember much of what was going on there, but my DW was very impressed with the care I received prior to being transfered to MH in The Woodlands.

Damourtrash: they are not my favorite er at all let me walk out with my blood pressure 230/150
