Centinela Hospital Medical Center: "I arrived by ambulance the ambulance attendant gave admitting a paper with all the information they required to accept me. I waited 2 min then the lady began to verify the information she had from the ambulance attendant as if she didn't all ready have it, approximately 9min. She made a wrist band, put on my arm and another person took me down the hall around a turn and said to wait in this room someone will be with you shortly, 28mins later I said I was leaving then they said they wanted to take an exray, I said no thanks I will go to another hospital in the morning (it was 2:30am now). I left, then I got a bill for $1,500.00 for being admitted 35 mins = $1500. And all that happened was my information was put into the system and I was escorted to a room.
