1 /5 L Helms: I was a patient between 2016-2019 so this is in regards to that time, but the practice at this hospital was so ingrained that I dont believe it will have changed. They were discriminating against women in that they were not providing any service to women for womens health including pap smears or pregnancy, all across the board. It was so bad that young married couples knew to move out of town if they wanted to have children because even if a woman came into the emergency in labor she would not be treated but she was shipped to the hospital of her choice or to Olympia.
My sister had cancer of the cervix in her 40s after 4 children so she I am high risk. I was seeing a doctor there at the hospital and he declined to do the required pap smear for me but he would refer me after I really, REALLY, pressed the issue.
So YES, they discriminate against women AND the community has become complacent and oppressed by their bullish behavior.
