The last time I was in TV I had a respiratory bug and went to urgent care. Never saw a real MD, just a couple of NPs or whatever who were not native English speakers which troubled me. I got better but was ready to get out of Dodge to see a real physician if necessary. Scary!
They also billed the crap out of my insurance which paid even for an unnecessary chest X-ray.

Not going to get into a long story MANABOUTOWN but I have a simular story. Had a 5 ways heart bypass, sat in waiting room for 4 hrs. 45 mins. at TV hospital, it was flu season with 3 other people sitting close to me with puke buckets, finally get in to see NP or a PA, not a licensed DR. didn't give right diagnosis, said they would give me a second opinion, never got it, which was a NO' NO. Got a bill for over $3,000. for doing absolutely nothing, Took bill to hospital CEO, she check it out & couldn't believe I got this kind of treatment, got another bill for $0,000. So what you said I can definately believe. Glad I finally got someone that had a nightmare too!
