Kaiser Foundation Hospital - Fresno: "Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had. Went in with chest pain and belly pain. Before I was seen I saw an aid speak to a nurse who was going to help me. Pain was horrible while he was talking to her She looked up at me and shock her head. They then put me in a room did a ekg and moved me to s more proper room where I could be monitored which never happened. After waiting for twenty minutes a nurse came in and treated me like I was a problem child. She was not professinal or happy to be there. The doctor came in after 45 minutes and refused to treat my pain so I had to go home with all this pain. What a joke this what we pay for?" - Dennis
