Abilene Reporter News

It appears the Abilene Reporter News finally gave in to the complaints of ARMC and removed the blog. Funny thing about Abilene, the city gets involved and irate over a Cracker Barrel sign being too tall or a billboard stating, "Get your bed ready, Myrtles coming", but they are silent on the problems with local healthcare.
I do want to thank the Abilene Reporter News for allowing the public to comment on stories they publish.
After a year of silence from Abilene Regional, and failure to respond to my phone calls and letters, the attorney for the owners of ARMC contacted me and claimed to be working on scheduling a meeting to talk with them. I don't believe this would have happened if it hadn't been for the comments posted on the Reporter News website.

About Me

Abilene, Texas, United States
My name is Gary Reed and I live in Abilene, Texas. In 2007, my mother was in Abilene Regional Medical Center. She and her family had repeatedly instructed the physicians and hospital staff NOT to give a specific drug (procrit)to her as it was the cause of her being there in the first place. However, she was injected with the drug again, sent to CCU, and never recovered. Since then, I have met with numerous other families who have reported similiar experiences with Abilene Regional Medical Center. For one year, I have attempted to dicuss this with ARMC staff and physicians and they have refused. I have also spoken with the attorney for the hospital in Houston, Texas. He admitted there were problems at the hospital and they would be contacting me soon to discuss these issues. It never happened. I will share as much information as possible here. Some I will not share at this time. If you or someone you know has experienced problems with this hospital, please contact me at: gnr99a@hotmail.com
