Our Lady Of Lourdes Regional Medical Center: "My daughter came to emergency room on 1/9 with extreme pain. The pain started on Saturday. After waiting 4 hours with excruciating pain they finally saw her and diagnosed as appendicitis. They did not get to her until Monday at 2:00 pm. By that time her appendix had ruptured. She was in the hospital for 8 days after. After being out of hospital 2 days she experienced extreme pain . The doctor sent her to emergency room with orders for a ct scan. We have been here 5 hours with no idea what is wrong with her or how long before they take care of her." - Frances

Our Lady Of Lourdes Regional Medical Center: "At urging of Urgent Care MD, went to ER on Monday 01/09/2023 around 3:00PM with possible pancreatitis and high fever. Was triaged relatively quickly (~1 hour) then waited additional 3 hours for an ultrasound. By 11:00PM, still had not seen MD or had results reviews. Left in disgust. There were others in ER who had been since the day before - ridiculous!" - Catherine
