Rhode Island Hospital: "After sitting out in the waiting room since 8pm I asked for a blanket at 2:48am and was told no this is disgusting to be in a hospital with poor quality of care for patients I can’t be seen until doctors arrive which will be around 7:30am. How is this place still open is the state coming in to do random audits? Just like they shut the hospital in Pawtucket they should consider maybe changing whoever is head of this hospital they are getting paid 6 figures to do what exactly? Not enough personnel to handle the patient volume " - Patricia

Rhode Island Hospital: "Basically they did a MRI just to see 8f they had to take any actions in a timely manor. So they did that and blood work which even that took hours. Once they knew there was no time sensitive issues. After that there main concern was to get me admitted. If you look at all their actions you can tell there decisions are more based on a business mindset then a lifesaving and healing mindset. I could understand if they were just super busy but there was not that many patients and it would take 4 hours for them to get to the next step in my care which would take them 20 minutes and then I wouldn't see them again for 4 hours. If they just did task after task find out what's wrong give me the medicine I could be out of there in hours but that's not there goal if they admit me they make much more money. They make it very obvious they are trying to make as much off you as they can and if they just get to the bottom of the problem and give u meds quickly and have me on my way home they won't make nearly as much money. If they actually tried they could have me in and out in a few hours instead of a few days. I just want to sign something saying charge what you want just heal me as quickly as possible. It's pretty sad what it's come to." - Vinny
