Los Angeles Metropolitan Medical Ctr Stories

Centinela Hospital Medical Center: "This hospital is terrible. They keep me in the emergency room for a long time. I had to wait 16 hours there till the next day to get a room upstairs. Then when I arrive to my floor the nurse on the floor was nice but the doctor I only seen once in two days. The doctor put me on regular diet when I have high blood pressure. Thats so crazy to me. So, I didn't eat the extra salt. My pressure was high every day I was in there. They could find anything wrong with me. Theu run 2 times blood work and both still no answers. Strange to me. I left the hospital with pressure still high 2 days later. I think as a patient with High blood pressure shouldn't be on regular diet. I hope I never go back here. They are very not caring place to me." - Deirdre
