I was just released from being impatient. I was admitted through the ER. First problem was that the ER doctor was going to release me when I went in for chest pain and went to go sign my discharge orders and then came back and said oh well your ekg is a little abnormal we better admit you. Plus she told me I was a diabetic and was prescribing medication for diabetes. I met with a Cardiologist, the only one that was compete my whole stay. She said she would run some tests and she agreed I should be admitted. She ordered tests to be done once I was moved upstairs to my room. One was never done I found out upon discharge. One was done 4 hours later than it should have been done. My cardiologist agree to discharge me with medication for my blood pressure and follow up with my doctor. She signed my discharge orders. By the way she ran my A1C and I am NOT a diabetic like the ER doctor said. Well the nurse decided without talking to my cardiologist that my blood pressure was too high still to leave so she gave me an injection to lower it before she would process the discharge from the cardiologist. Well the injection sky rocketed my blood pressure and heart rate to the point I was about to have a stroke! My doctor came in and said she never ordered that. I had to had an emergency ekg and then was not allowed to be discharge at risk of stroke. Then they gave me pills to counteract the injection and gave me too much so my blood pressure did the opposite and took a dive to the point where I almost passed out. I had narrowing vision, sweating buckets, headache, dizziness, and disoriented. At this point I was not staying a minute longer. This hospital is incomplete. They seriously could have killed me or made me have a life altering stroke! Don t ever go here!
