60. That hospital should be avoided at all cost. I went to tha local ER with chest pain,
went right back to a room, and after the EKG was surrounded by a room full of people - I was having a heart attack at the time. Had a 5 way bypass.

I had been mis-diagnosed by my GP for several years,( He told me my pain was due to carpal tunnel,and my heart was fine) and a cardiac stress test I had at that same hospital over a year earlier was read incorrectly. They told me I was fine at the time, but later saw that my arteries were blocked, which showed clearly on the original test.
I could have died at the hands of these clowns.

Several years later, I had a pacemaker installed in that samw hospital - got staph infection, and had to have it removed and a new one installed.

I had to go back to the same doctors and hospital because of my insurance.
