Kent County Memorial Hospital

Oct. 1977 while traveling from HoustonTexas, , I had a bad reaction to a RX. . My husband took me to Kent Memorial ER. My whole medical background taken, labs, blood type etc. A couple hours later, we were back on the road. April 1978 his company transfered us to Warwick. to work on the St. Georges oil exploration. I arrived at 11p.m. on April 24th. The next morning I was rushed by ambulance to Kent Memorial ER. All my medical info was available, thus saving my life. I was having an ectopic rupture. I virtually was bleeding to death internally. The same Dr. that saw me in the ER in 1977 was delivering a baby, when i was brought in. I can't remember his name, but I sure can remember his face, and that of many care takers that saved my life that day. Went thru that dark tunnel, and into the light, the staff pulled me back. I'd love to visit RI again, truly a beautiful place. Sincerely, Cathy Spitz, the girl from Houston more

Very slow when we went in. We were called quickly to present billing information. after that we waited and waited and waited. I was walking to the rest room when I passed (3) Dr.'s, one of which was ours, That were poking fun at the patients they were and had seen that day! I find that no only invasive but extremely unprofessional! I wouldn't want to be the laughing stalk of the ER as I would assume no body in their right mind would. I live 4 minutes from the ER and go their for any emergency and have always left disappointed in the service. My Daughter had my Grandson there and I was very impressed with the service in that department. However The ER has a lot to be desired! At this time my 21 year old is in the ER for the second time in hours. She still doesn't know what is wrong with her. I am very mad and would like to speak to someone to help make our Hospital as professional as possible. Joyce Wheeler Concerned Mother and Patient! more
