Do not go to Longmont United Hospital on holidays or weekends. They do not have the staff available or on call to take care of patient needs. I left worse than I was when I went in, and believe me, I'd rather die here on my couch than go there again. Take the higher ambulance bill and go to Boulder or Loveland. Somewhere they have dr's actually on call. I was given meds that I tried to refuse, telling them I'd tried that before, and it just made me more ill. I spent 6 hours during the night when I recieved no care, aside from the nurses telling me, "I'm waiting to hear back from the dr." The story gets worse, but too long for here. They did their best to not help me. I'll complete their complaint process, and if I'm not satisfied with the result, we'll hit every media outlet in the area. Watch for upcoming facebook page dedicated to this issue. The 'caring experience' has to change here in Longmont.
