Tristar Summit Medical Center: "Went into hospital with blood pressure 211 over 110 did Kat scans Exedra would not give me blood pressure medicine because they said they could not monitor it sent me home saying everything was okay several months later I went to another doctor he asked me if I had gone to a vascular surgeon and I was like why and they said because your cat scan said you had a carotid artery artery and a nodule on your thyroid the hospital never said I had any of these waiting to see a vascular surgeon in two weeks if I don't die before then. I'm not one to say but if I were to die and leaving my family without a wife or mother I will hold this hospital responsible" - Janice
