Cape Regional Medical Center Inc: "Caring nurses——MOST were not!! ER has a lot to learn. " - Prefer

Cape Regional Medical Center Inc: "Didn’t want to go to ER, but had severe constant pain timed down too the second that would not stop. Was talked into going. Everything seemed fine, nurses were amazing! Doctor seemed like he cared until discharge and his answer to me was “it was always a muscle right? This was to just make you feel better....” DEAD WRONG Dr. this was to make sure nothing was SERIOUSLY wrong because if I truly felt it was just a muscle then I would of stayed home and not wracked up a debt I don’t need!! Who in their right mind goes too the ER when they KNOW what is already wrong?! It was not just to patronize me because I definitely DID NOT want that bill. But I DID want to know what’s going on because when your intestines spasm shut IBUPROFEN isn’t the answer. What a joke. It seems when they can’t find something wrong it’s a muscle. I got the same answer in the past when it was actually a slipped disc....do yourself a favor and just go more North if you can make it..I was ALMOST happy with my service until I got treated like an idiot. I was there for answers and left with high blood pressure and I’m sure a massive bill I truly didn’t want." - Heather
