A few years ago, I believed I was experiencing a heart attack. My spouse drove me to the ED at Providence. The ED was full of what I can only assume were homeless people. I spent the night there and not once did I see any of them being called for care. Most of them were sleeping, one was ranting about being cheated by his drug salesman. . As it was freeezing outside, I think the staff let them stay. ,
After several hours wait, I was finally put on an EKG and found my heart had restored it's normal rhythym. I was sent home.
And I got a bill for my care that charged medicare $4100...for a fifty second EKG. IT took longer to hook up the sensors than the test did.
OUTRAGEOUS.
