Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center: "This hospital is careless. If you value your life, go to Reno Renown...Too many incidents to list them all, but they delayed treatment and misdiagnosed my ex-husband, which resulted in his death. Then, they lied on the medical report about what they actually did and when they did it, to cover their mistakes. They practice medicine because they don't KNOW medicine. There is no direction or extra safety precautions and medicine often gets administered to the wrong patient." - Angela

Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center: "Do yourself and loved ones a favor and make the drive to Renown if possible. My father passed after a medical mistake that was covered up. Our family was lied to about his condition and told they had no idea what they were treating, his records show that they did know and withheld information from the family. We were not offered an autopsy or given a cause of death until after he was cremated. The cause of death ended up being unknown. My mother was recently admitted with sepsis, pneumonia and respiratory failure. They sent her home too early and when I sent her right back I had to fight all night to get her readmitted. After arguing with a Dr at 3am, he agreed to readmit her for two days and she ended up being kept for longer as she was so sick. They allowed a dangerous woman to visit her at 1:30am and left her patient folder out and photos where taken of the whole file. Totally inept, reckless staff and management." - Saveyourself
