Mckenzie-Willamette Medical Center: "Went into the ER at McKenzie Willamette Hospital with a leg infection that had gotten worse over the course of a couple of weeks. I was seen within minutes and due to their protocols my infection was determined to be septic (sepsis) and from that second forward the staff and Dr's kicked into high gear pumping me full of antibiotics. Everything was meticulously and professionally choreographed and 7 days later I was discharged. I can't say enough about the nurses and staff (yes even the hospitalists) the food wasn't even that bad. 5 stars from me!" - ROGER
