Default Re: TV Regional Hospital

If you go by ambulance, you will have no choice. They are going to bring you to the closest hospital.

I used the ER at TVRH twice. I was in and out. I take coumadin and my ear was bleeding for 24 hours. I went in at 8 am after a sleepless night at home. They took me right in and I was out in an hour. Had to go back the next day to ensure bleeding had stopped and again, I was in and out in an hour.

Guess the plan has to be that you only get sick during the quiet hours for the hospital!!!

While I haven't seen it here, back in Virginia I found that many of the uninsured used the ER instead of a doctor because they knew they would get treated quickly and for free. This is what really hurts the effectiveness of an ER. But, as I said, I have not seen that here.

In any event, my insurance plan only covers Munroe Regional Hospital so I guess I'll have to die on the way!!! LOL!!!! :bigthumbsup: God bless those PPOs.
