Our health care system is a mess, or at least it is at Orange Coast Memorial Center in Fountain Valley, California

We went to the ER five times, to his doc once, the Neurologist twice and chiropractor three times, two CT scans, an MRI and all blood work done. Only on the last trip to the ER did they do a spinal tap. At this point he had missed over 2 weeks of school.
