Report
I got taken in right away, the whole staff was extremely pleasant and nice to me the entirety of the time. If you have to end up in an ER, I would highly recommend ending up in this one. I felt like I had the whole hospital checking in on me. They ran all possible tests on me to figure out what was wrong with me. I've never gotten such thorough treatment anywhere else! I would definitely trust them to get to the bottom of whatever problem you came in with. Thanks for your help!
