I am not even kidding you, I and others in the community have to drive about an hour away to another hospital for any kind of practical or literal service. When it was summertime here and over 100 °F at night time, I had to go here, only to find a small crowd of morbidly injured and more or less dying people waiting either outside, or in the room between the two sets of entrance doors, which had no AC or ventilation whatsoever, and was an ambient 10 or more degrees hotter than outside. Mind you I am talking about the emergency room entrance! They make you call in on a phone that they have in the entranceway. I waited with others for hours, the others had been there for hours before me. Finally decided to drive in (was fortunate enough to have had said ride and gas) to Omak, where people are promptly seen, and their emergency room is air conditioned and staffed. The only time I was admitted to this hospital they did absolutely nothing for me except made me wait till I could leave for a couple hours till I could submit a UA, and work THC subtly in my system, hey assumed that was my entire problem and made a big deal about it before letting me go with no treatment. The stories I hear from other locals is that they have and do literally let people die in the waiting area. I can testify that while waiting on that very non-busy night in the heat, that none of us saw a single staff member at all in the pristine empty hallways. My father and I don't even consider I a hospital, nor do many other townspeople here. Anytime we have an emergency, we gotta do the drive. read more
