When I was a child, I got very sick, and this hospital treated me very well. However, I recently went to Troy Beaumont for severe chest pain, and my experience was a waste of time. They left us waiting in the ER waiting lobby for a while, and when they did take us in, they slapped a bed sheet on a bed in the hallway with no privacy. We waited a while more. They gave me no pillow, no blanket, no tissue, and no water. They ran some tests, gave a hard to believe diagnosis with little explanation for why. Prescribed me medicine for things that were not really problems to me. Then, they sent us on our way, and I only have a vague idea for what happened to me. I don't understand why hospitals have become like this, but I have seen a change in our health care as Americans, at least in Michigan. It seems to me that hospitals only care about how much money they can convince you to spend while ignoring the core values important to patients, like costumer service, human decency, time management, proper staffing, water, a proper doctor to explain, comfort, privacy, seeing and understanding the result of testing, and so much more that Troy Beaumont lacks. I won't be spending my money here for a waste of time experience. ~Jman
