Spalding Regional Medical Center: "I went into Spalding Regional Hospital with chest pain, bad headache, I had forgotten when I removed my firearm and handcuffs, to remove my badge, I was in triage within 5 minutes and in treatment within 15 minutes and getting medical attention and pain medication all with 35 minutes. So don't tell they don't show favoritism towards certain people.
Waiting room was full when I walked in, I understand stand chest pain in an emergency, but my vitals were stable, if I hadn't had that badge on I would have just been pushed to the end of the line." - Rick

Spalding Regional Medical Center: "At this time it is really hard to come up with the words to express the horrific time my husband and I experienced at Spalding Regional. My husband has been left virtually disabled (Sepsis)from their treatment and he now has Osteomyelitis and life long MRSA from the experience. Three major surgeries in three months because of their mistakes and left with a hole in his leg with screws showing through. We are praying he will be able to walk with a cane soon since we found a doctor with compassion who removed the infected hardware out of his leg. On top of the life threatening bone infection his leg was not even set right. One surgeon there who shall remain nameless is an egotistical monster. How a doctor could do this to someone is something I can't even begin to understand. I would never recommend for anyone to go there. I feel like Sierra feels. " - Chari

Spalding Regional Medical Center: "My mother was seriously sick about a month or so ago and my father took her to Spalding. Worst decision ever! The staff was amazingly rude, didn't even bother to help her go to the bathroom or do simple things. They diagnosed her with blood clots and didn't even care enough to find out why a woman younger than 40 would have them and prescribed her Xeralto. Xeralto just made her feel worse and caused her to bleed. She stopped taking it simply because of how it made her feel. And now, as of a few days ago, my mother has been admitted to the ER in Macon because she was literally DYING BECAUSE SPALDING SCREWED UP AND DIDN'T CARE, found out that it wasn't blood clots but CERVICAL CANCER, and that if Spalding's doctors had even looked at her medical history they would've realized that Xeralto would be horrible for her. Even the lady that called today was rude!
I am definitely going to find a way to sue them for all this BS." - Sierra
