[QUOTE="cr514, post: 170890, member: 24601"] I personally have had good and bad experiences at hospitals. Last year I walked in an ER with a fever, barfing, and a sore shoulder only to be told it was a virus and I needed to get some rest. The next day I walked back into the same ER with same problems only worse. This time they decided to admit me because they figured they I must have injured myself riding my dirt bike two days earlier. next came a MRI and about two hours later I couldnt breathe so they sent me to ICU, only trouble was they could not find any o2 on the floor. Thats about all I remember for the next seven weeks:( I woke up about seven weeks later to find out I was air lifted to another hospital and that somehow I had gotten flesh eating bacteria and they had to cut a 1 foot by 2 foot area of my left side I was basically cut form my armpit to my waist and from my belly button to the middle of my back, I lost about one third of my left pectoral muscle and they were not sure if they could save my feet. must all of my organs had stopped working at one point including the old ticker:scream: . Not to worry though after three months of laying in a hospital bed I walked out of that place with all limbs in place and about 6 months later I was back on the bike. I have not yet regained my full strength and endurance but its only been a little over a year now I was very lucky to get to a hospital that had great MDs and even luckier to survive something that only about 20% survive I can tell you some horror stories about my stay during that 3 months but I cant because the bottom line is they saved my life so I could ride another day. All hospitals and MDs are not perfect and they are going to make mistakes they are human, but they also save thousands of lives every year. I'll never forget my ordeal. I changed my number to 514 has a reminder about how short life really is. 5-14-01 is the day I was admitted in the hospital:) :) :) [/QUOTE]
