Newport Hospital: "Went to Newport Hodpital ER on Thursday after falling and being pulled off my front stops by my dog while he was leashed. I hit my face and jaw on a raised cement curb breaking 2 teeth on a cement curb after my dog pulled me down. Cut face, legs and arm badly and bled alot. My mistake was going to Newport Hospital ER. Was told after 1 1/2 hours I was #2 to be seen. Well, that DID NOT HAPPEN!
Eight people later and another 1 1/2 hrs (total 3 hr wait) I LEFT! UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE!! They obviously did not care about me waiting. I was getting tired from the big fall and dizzy..could not wait a ny longer for them WHAT Has become of Newport Hospital?? Upsetting to see their indifference." - Donna
