Olympic Medical Center: "I've had to use the ER for back pain in which I had already has a surgery scheduled in Seattle, and I needed care right then. The facility has absolutely NO compassion and I was treated with no dignety. I'm not a drug seeker. They had my CT scan in which they had access. I was appalled in the lack of /no care. I've been to Seattle area hospitals and this facility needs to shadow a hospital there. Because the hospital here is in the middle of nowhere for the most part, they run it as so." - Sally

Olympic Medical Center: "Went in today for MRSA infection on inner thigh that has caused 103 temp, chills a d weakness. Over all pain on leg is high. So far I've been in waiting room for 3 hours. Let's pray toxicity has not set in since all I have researched shows it's in my blood and MRSA is a serious deal. They don't seem to take it as serious as the guy who came in cause his back hurts and is trying to pain pills to help him get high. " - KIETH
