I arrived with a less than common skin illness. The staff spent more time in the ER chatting about the cause of the illness and taking cell phone pictures of it than treating it. Course of treatment after admittance called for antibiotics which were administered, then rapidly pulled back (started with 3, pulled back to 1 after one course) once the slightest improvement was seen which resulted in exacerbation of the illness to the point where I could no longer stand on the affected leg and ended up bed ridden. No preventative measures were taken for PE or other blood clots though I was immobile in bed (including bathroom activities) for over 24 hours.

Also presented with a severe headache. Told staff I didn t want narcotics and preferred an NSAID. They administered an NSAID once then started pushing oxycodone and tramadol. Held with a debilitating migraine for 3 days because they advised that they needed me to be able to present a fever to assess their course of treatment for the skin issue. Discovery of a heart condition resulted in me thankfully being moved off base where I was rapidly given a regular course of toradol (an NSAID) and a series of wide spectrum antibiotics.
