Georgetown Community Hospital: "My wife was brought here thru ambulance ride for being unresponsive. My wife couldn't breathe and here oxygen was low and bleeding clots and migraine from smacking the kitchen floor face first.The guy named dr.west told me if she's talking she's breathing. My wife was freaking out having a panic attack ovoiusly she couldn't breathe. Then we sit there for 3hrs waiting on urine results. Dr.west said no CT scan was needed. The nurse gave her Ativan to calm her down and phengren they said they was giving her morphine but the syringe the morphine was in was the size of a half dollar. I no that would kill a person. They lied to us then i asked about the morphine they cover up there paperwork the next day.I have paperwork from that day showing we didn't receive morphine. Please stay way you get treated like drug addicts and lied to about what drugs go in you. Please for your childrens sake." - Stacey
