My last time in this pos hospital is when I fell off that ladder and broke 3 ribs. This POS place after 5 hours , after I paged them and said I have no broke ribs and gave me a script for Oxy codone.and sent me home....... 3 days later i was hurting bad, I went to the Everett clinic and they found 3 broke ribs. One was pulverized and haunts me to this day. I have the x-ray!!!!!!!!!


That POS doctor I saw like 5-10 minutes through this and his bill was $100.. TOTAL scam this hospital in 98223 IS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: "The POS hospital here is the opposite. They want to stroke everyday in the bed as they can."As a rule, if you're in the hospital for something that isn't life threatening, it's better to go home soon. But when it's serious... when side effects are real possibilities... you want to milk your stay for as long as possible.

Hospitals are businesses, and they're trying to make money. Days in the hospital are expensive. When the insurance companies start applying pressure, the hospitals in turn start pressuring patients to leave - even when that's not in the patients' best interests. But patients can resist this. If they do it right, they'll usually win another day or two. Hospitals do *NOT* want to be sued for a rushed discharge that led to a premature injury or death. They want to make it look like they accommodated the patient's wishes.
