Kaiser Foundation Hospital - West La: "Horrendous hospital!!! My almost life and death ER experience there. Besides the fact this hospital caused my heart attach due to medical malpractice , I actually had a heart attack in 2007 no thanks to their horrific endocrinologist there destroying my thyroid. Anyways, here's my experience in their ER. One night I had severe chest pains, and somehow was able to drive to the ER at West LA Kaiser. I went in, and the dipshit clerk at the ER told me to sit down in the waiting room!!! After about 30 minutes of this dipshit male nurse or whatever the hell he was did nothing, I decided fuck this and went into the ER room screaming in pain!!! Thank god there was a temp Dr from UCLA stationed there, he checked on me and screamed at the nurses and staff "what are you people doing here, get this man into ER NOW!!!" And if it wasnt for that UCLA Dr, I would be dead right now." - Neal
