Grove City Medical Center: "Every ER experience at Grove City is terrible. I always get stuck with the same female Dr, who's magical cure for everything under the sun is either ibuprofen or toradol. I have told this woman repeatedly I have serious gas trial issues - bleeding ulcers that sort of thing and toradol pr ibuprofen makes things worse. She doesn't care. The woman has her owb agenda and there is no changing it. The woman is also incompetent or just doesn't care. A year or so ago I was sick - weak and chest pains. Went to Grove City, the sane female doctor was on duty. She claimed nothing was wrong, On the way home I received a phone call from Grove City ER that she had misdiagnosed. I had pneumonia. Instead of going back I had meds phoned in to my pharmacy. For follow up I ended going to a prompt care. They seemed to know more what was going on than this ER Dr. What gives here???? Doesn't MT. Carmel screen these people????" - Lori
