Well I had to go back to the doctor today with my husband. We decided on St. Charles after our experience in Stonybrook with our son ; before anyone says we are using the hospitals as a medical office ; we are not. My son was at the doctor last friday and got worse over the weekend. My husband was at the doctors on Tuesday evening and was told he was ok. But two days later and high fevers later, he is still coughing etc.
St. Charles was wonderful. they did the flu test, strep test, chest xray etc. Absolutely wonderful. Luckily he does not have flu but a severe case of bronchitis. They gave him three scripts and hopefully within a few days he will be on the way to being better.
Last sunday I was at stonybrook and the attitude there was terrible. No flu test ; actually the doctor said they do not routinely test for flu, no xrays or anything. Nothing. But I bet it will cost $700 just to have walked in the door!!!
