On June 11, 2022, the paramedics took me to the TMMC emergency room, as the emergency room was full, they put me in the parking lot, after an hour, Dr. Wong came out and asked me if I had my pacemaker card with me, I replied with no, the doctor said Ok and returned to the emergency room, two hours later when no one came out to ask me why I was there, I called an Uber and returned home, an hour later Dr. Wong called me to ask me why I left, I said that I was in the parking lot for three hours and I only saw three employees ( 2 females and 1 male) who went out to make phone calls with their cell phones, the doctor told me Ok if you need us you know where we are. The next day I found out that I had had a Ventricular Tachycardia, my heart rate had risen to 225 beats per minute for 1.5 seconds, so the defibrillator gave me a shock and made me lose consciousness for a few seconds. Then I receive a bill for the emergency and the doctor's services. It is incredible that the hospital and the doctor have billed my health insurance and are charging me a copay. As I understand it, heart patients should be priority but, in this case, TMMC did not care about the patient's condition.

Horrible hospital that prioritizes profiting and minimize litigation over providing quality health care.
