Dear __________________
Plainview North Shore Hospital,
Thank you.....no really, thank you.
In June I came to you at 10pm with 104 fever and my parents and FH thought I caught the swine flue. I could barely move, was shivering, and you had me sitting in your waiting room for 3 hours with a mask on, children were scared of me and pointing at me....
So after waiting until 1am shivering with temperature, I go inside, have my temp taken, was given motrin, was given a flu test, which I was told CAME BACK NEGATIVE, and was sent home at 4am.......they came in 2x, once for temp and once with motrin
1 week later, you guys call me to see 'how I am feeling'.......after 1 week in bed, I was finally better. You then proceed to tell me, 'well thats great you are feeling better because you did have the flu (the normal not the swine) this whole time!!!!).....ummmmmmmmmm ok??
thank you.
Yesterday, I come home to a $3200 bill from the hospital!??!?
a) you mis-diagnosed me
b) you took my temp and gave me motrin, not even FLU medication
c) I was there for 3 hours
NOW I have to reach my 3000 deductible from my HSA account, which I have only opted to contribut 2500 so far this year, which means I have to now come out of pocket 500$....
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....
a very pissed off patient.
