Ya don’t go here unless you have high paying private insurance. I’m in the ER with chest pain, a hernia that the dr had to force in while I was visibly in pain, and popped right out again after release. This kills people.

This is the best experience I have received from an ER ever! The quality of service and the urgency to get me seen and taken care of was unmatchable!
