Description of service

Went in and got my stomach pumped, got a CT scan, MRI done, then had a one night hospital stay, also had a respirator hooked up to me. Then i got medication for an infection in the lungs, plus a few dozen rounds of blood thining medication.


Review of Service

The service i received was great, they saved my life. I don't think i needed an MRI and a CT scan which drove up the cost a lot but they were just doing what they thought they needed to. They also took great care to treat the soreness from the respirator tubes with very good numbing agents. The stomach pumping worked wonders in getting rid of the excess alcohol that would have killed me.


Tips

Make sure somone is with you that will make sure you don't get test that are un-needed. Also make sure that if you are not awake enough from the drugs they give that you don't sign anything, since when you sign you are accepting the charges. If you smoke make sure you have somone that can help you get outside to do so, since you will be medicated and will not know anything about getting from point a to point b
