Laurel Regional Medical Center: "This hospital should not be allowed to receive any ratings, or even to remain open, if I could give a zero rating, and still write this review, I would. Apparently, it seems that there are doctors and nurses at this particular ER, who should be inline for some major malpractice lawsuits, starting with my daughter, because of their inabilities to properly diagnose, and treat those who come to this horrible place for emergency care. On 7/11/2022, my daughter came by way of ambulance to them because she was in so much pain, they did perform several test including, an ultrasound and an MRI. They diagnosed her with being pregnant and assumed she was having a miscarriage, but her blood work reflected a high hormone level which indicated, she was still pregnant. The idiotic thing about this, is that despite all the test, they claimed that they could not, I repeat, COULD NOT, locate her pregnancy or her cause of pain, but was fast to give her narcotics in an attempt to ease the pain of a pregnancy that they could not find.
Luckily, they called my daughter's doctor's office for authorization and they denied it because what these idiots was telling them, was not making any since, therefore; her doctor recommended her to come to their facility on the next morning of 7/12/2022 and thankfully she did, because she was sent to another emergency room, GBMC where they found the cause of her pain and located her pregnancy/an ectopic pregnancy, administering the same test that was performed at Laurel, the pregnancy that the doctors at this horrible place said they could NOT find.
My daughter had to have emergency surgery performed about an hour after she arrived at GBMC and I am thankful to her doctors because my daughter could have died and the staff and doctors were amazing and they actually cared!!!!!

Pleaseeeeee do not go to Laurel Medical Center, go anywhere else, this place do not care about people.
