I'm sure most of you have read that I had to have gal-bladder surgery two weeks ago. That went great however I have come to realize that the hospital er is SERIOUSLY LACKING!!! They don't really want to help you it seems. They act as though their late for their break!
Example 1: 2006 (yeah I know) I fell and was taken to the ER. They ran a cat scan on my head because I was having some serious issues, like giving my mom's phone number as my social security number etc. After waiting for a long time the doctor came in and said that everything looked fine and that I needed to get dressed he was sending me home. After a very difficult 10 minuets or so of trying to get dressed with assistance from my husband we finally get me dressed and then another doctor came in and said that I needed to get back into a gown. That he was sending me to OHSU because I had a brain bleed. WHOA! wait, one doc. said go home the other said go to OHSU.. what's up? When we asked he said and I quote "it was the end of the other doctor's shift and he wanted to go home."
Example 2: 2008 John and I rush our 10 week old infant to the ER because he has been vomiting all weekend and a three foot shot is a bit much for a little one. The doc. came in, saw, ordered blood and left. The nurses could NOT get any blood from my baby and sent what they were able to get (not much) to the lab for a test. The doctor said that he (baby) looked like he was not vomiting anymore and that we should make an appointment for him with the regular doc the next day. WELL DUH! He's not vomiting anymore because he hasn't had anything to eat for 5 hours. Wasn't there any concern his dehydration? The fact that he hadn't eaten in 5 hours and wasn't asking? Where was the common sense questions?
Example 3: When I was rushed to the ER via ambulance. They asked where the pain was I told them, showed them the doc ordred an Xray of my chest. Nothing. So they drugged me up with anxiety medications (Didn't need!!!) and painkiller/muscle relaxer combination, and sent me home. HELLO PEOPLE when someone is pointing to the side of their stomach and not their chest where does the xray come in at?
Who cares about finding the actual problem. Solving the actual problem or listening to what the problem is doing. I guess they needed to get to their break.
