Park Ridge Health: "Once again. This hospital failed at providing proper care or even finishing treatment after hours of waiting. Labs done,ct scan done,but oh oops i overlooked infection. When having rx filled,oh ooops it was "never" written. How long is this incompetence from uneducated doctors going to be overlooked? This was our 4th + time to receive improper care.(one visit 3yrs ago could of resulted in death) stop hiding behind your religious care hospital,stop hiding the horrible care by ER doctors,change needs to happen,as well as cleaning up this backward care facility that seems to be allowed,,,wake up to others complaints,its real and serious situation. Next time needing emergency lab work will check out the local 24hr Vet hospital. Their compassion is fair better than PRH." - Daryl
