    My experience with Forrest General was as a family member of someone with a very complex health…read moreproblem that resulted in life threatening issues. Because it was not my medical problem i will not share specifics but I will share how happy I am that Forrest General is where we ended up. There was a significant amount of time spent there and every single person was very thorough, professional and kind. From the emergency room, ICU, med surg floor, and after care follow up and discharge planning. I even got support from the front desk in the ER at a very hard time for me. Non of this will be forgotten. This much smaller hospital totally rocked and outshined a much bigger hospital. Forrest General will be my hospital from now on. I simply cannot thank them enough.

    I am at Forest General Hospital for over 9 hours. I am a double heart valve replacement patient and…read moream defibrillator dependant for my heart rate . After COVID I developed defibrillator symptoms in the ventricular side of my heart and they can not correct so I take a medicine Mexilletine to help. This last couple weeks I developed a terrible cough. I went to an urgent care for it it and got some relief so I bought Mucinex Dm Max and unknown to me the active ingredient dextromethorphan interacts in a potentially deadly manner. Increased Toxicity: Because mexiletine inhibits the metabolism of dextromethorphan, the latter can build up in the body. This can lead to increased side effects, including hallucinations, dissociation, and central nervous system (CNS) toxicity. Serotonin Syndrome Risk: Dextromethorphan is a serotonergic agent. If combined with other drugs that increase serotonin, or if it builds up due to decreased metabolism, it can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by high body temperature, agitation, tremors, and coma. Cardiovascular Effects: Mexiletine is used for arrhythmias, and increasing its toxicity by interfering with its metabolism (though usually caused by other drugs reducing its metabolism) could lead to serious arrhythmia or cardiac side effects and possible coma. Yet the ER doctor and nurses put us in the back waiting room for 9 hours now. When I described this to the nurse taking vitals, I got a I'm sorry. This is unexceptable care for anyone let alone a heart patient with potential life threatening issues. I came at 2 a.m in the morning and the took great care of me. I will reasses this after I am treated
