The nurses and staff in general were friendly however when it came to the QUALITY of actually medical care I have received it is extremely low. When I came into the ER with uncontrollable vomiting, diarrhea, and the worst pain I ve experienced outside of childbirth I had to RETELL my situation to SIX DOCTORS each who told me one thing they were going to start doing for me which none of them did any of the things and I had to repeat it ask the nurse what was happening and call them back in to get any answers after waiting a solid two hours as I was in so much pain I was literally writhing in pain and screaming. And I have a high pain tolerance. Than once they admitted me because my liver levels were dangerously high I spoke to a different doctor who I never saw again and I never got answers from. Then the next morning I spoke to yet a DIFFERENT doctor who asked me to bring in labs from my functional medicine doctor so we could pull them and communicate with her about a plan for what may be going on. Never saw that doctor again. The next morning finally I saw a new student and they did a small exam but I had some questions about what was going on and when I could restart my antidepressant they had taken me off cold turkey (super dangerous with this type btw and I ve been having a lot of withdrawal symptoms as a result) that meds student never returned like he said he would with an attending to explain what was going on with my body or what the plan would be moving forward seeing all the meds the took me off cold turkey when I was admitted or if/when I should return to work. Then a nurse comes in and tells me I m being discharged. I told him I m not moving until I appeal to a doctor and know 1) what the heck is going on with my body 2) what is the plan of action medication wise and 3) when can I expect possibly to feel like I m not dying (extreme fatigue and dizziness) and sagely return to work. Extremely frustrating experience.
