Encino Hospital Medical Center: "ENCINO HOSPITAL If you find yourself in this hospital for any reason - run. My wife had a knot in her intestine that required immediate surgery. She was in the 10th degree of pain. we begged and pleaded for the surgery (which we found would be done by a rent-a-doctor). There are no doctors at this hospital except the liar that runs the place. After 6 days of incredible pain (the pain medications would only work for a short period of time), and a padding of the bill with every kind of test and x-ray five or six times a day, finally the surgery was set after another 2 day wait. The surgeon apparently could not read the plethora of x-rays that were taken and cut 5 places in her abdomen searching about for the problem. When we got the hospital reports the liar-in-charge wrote that we had declined immediate surgery. We reported them to our insurance company who made an investigation into the claims that resulted in our favor. After it was all over we realized how incredibly lucky we were that my wife lived through this." - Terry
