Mid State Health has an almost invisible sign down by Route 25.......their underwhelming sign board says .....'The Health Place'... |
I am unemployed with no health coverage. I contacted a flu/virus last january and I got worst. Luckily I was in NC visiting my sister as NC has free state sponsored clinics for the unemployed, no insurance folks. Had an MD check me out and prescription meds at no cost. Got to count my blessings.
As for LRGH, I shattered my humerous into 10 pieces two winters ago. The emergency clinic at LRGH couldn't get an orthopedic to look at my arm so they put me in a remporary cast/sling. After calling the orthopedics in Laconia/Gilford that weekend, it seems they were all attending a frigging wedding in the Carribeans that weekend. I got an appointment that Monday and it was in Manchester. Lucky me, Dr Wang is the best of the best according to NH magazine and other sites on the website. Again my blessings steer me away from LRGH. Living in Laconia I heard a number of horror stories about that hospital and the doctors that are connected to it. I see a number of malpractice/lawsuit on the hospital in the papers. I will definitely go elsewhere.
