WhidbeyHealth Medical Center

If I ever have a choice of which ER I want an ambulance to take me to, I'll pick Island Hospital in Anacortes. My mom should have been admitted into ICU when she went to the ER at Whidbey Health, instead they gave her something for anxiety, some oxygen and they said they couldn't do anything else for her and sent her home. All this after waiting for 3 hours in the waiting room, where she couldn't stand up without blacking out due to lack of oxygen. They gave her a wheelchair, which was helpful, but she was booted out of it because they ran out!?!? My mom being the gentle soul that she WAS, woul never complain or say she needed more attention, I've learned that sometimes you or your family have to be the "squeaky wheel".
