Memorial Hospital Sweetwater County Stories

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center: "Frighteningly terrible experience at this emergency room. I don't wish the treatment i received on my worst enemy. Their efforts more closely can be described as extreme indifference rather than compassionate and caring which is what people hope to believe they will walk into when they or a lived one are faced with an emergency situation. I left with my medical emergency in a much more severe state, They did nothing but caused me more pain and i was bleeding more when i left than i was when I arrived. DO NOT GO TO THIS EMERGENCY ROOM& EXPECT TO BE CARED FOR!" - Danielle
