Artesia General Hospital Stories

Artesia General Hospital: "Horrible service they only focus in Covid testing and do not listen to what your explaining that you might have. Like food poisoning, they did not let me use their restroom after I explain I had diarrhea. The male nurse said hold it until you get out of here in a very rude way. They discharge me without making more test or find my real problem. They only prescribed medication for nausea. They just said wait until you get your results for Covid. This was Thursday October 22 the results will not be available until Tuesday October 27. Really? This why people die. I feel thankful because I feel better. I had to google my symptoms and found out like I told them it was stomach infection. So, I had to prescribe my self antibiotics and ibuprofen to lower the 102 fever, stomach pain, nausea, body aches and terrible headache. I regret going to this Artesia General Hospital. " - Yadira
