Reply to comment by armenia4ever in PC Parts Store? by Ryan_32__

Haven’t purchased actual parts from them. I did have to take in my PC when I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it myself. They were absolutely terrific. Texted me throughout the process to let me know where they were with it and what options I had to fix it. They went above and beyond in my opinion. Would 100% use them again.

They had parts on display there. Though I don’t know how wide of a selection they have.

I'm so happy you are going to StL! Nothing wrong with a second opinion but pediatrics in Springfield don't hold a candle to Barnes or Wash. It's not a slam on our local providers either, I'm glad our local docs care enough to make the calls and connections to get your daughter in up there. It's one of the best in the country and she will be in good hands.

Don't forget FMLA to protect your job and regardless if you are assertive or not, don't forget your husband isn't a medical professional. You are doing an awesome job Momma! All the vibes for your girl to start feeling better. Please check into resources like Ronald McDonald house. The hospital should be able to help you with a list of these types of organizations.

If you want mediocre healthcare, you are welcome to drive 750 miles to the nearest Canadian border. The US is overwhelmingly the leading provider of medical innovation, research, and drug breakthroughs. It has to come at a cost somewhere.

Hospitals are a very minority place to lay blame for high healthcare costs, it's insurance companies who are really investment firms in disguise. It's the insurance companies who also happen to sell malpractice coverage. It's insurance companies that also happen to own pharmaceutical companies and drug retail locations. You are right, it is capitalism, but generally speaking, hospitals rank low on the list of reasons why.

I went through this several years ago and St. Louis was the best decision we could have made for our son. We ended up with three specialists there. It’s first class care. On a side note, we experienced over 50 hospital admissions between Cox and Mercy, for us, Mercy was a much better experience. Prayers for your daughter.
