So the pearland branch of this hospital sent my husband by an ambulance to this location, leaving his car in pearland. He came to the er in pearland where we are staying because he hasnt slept in 2 weeks due to extremely vivid dreams where he is actually talking and moving around, making it impossible for him to get any rest. So the pearland doctor says okay well I think you need a 10 min psychiatric evaluation, unfortunately we dont do those here so we will be sending you to a nearby hospital and they can see whats going on with your sleep. Now come to find out it's like 45 minuses away which we weren't aware of this until we were already in the damn ambulance on the way. But the entire time theyre saying oh yeah once theyre done with this we will take you right back to your car it will be fine. HAHA. Anyways we get there and he is admitted to some kind of psych ward in the hospital. They take his clothes, phone, wallet, EVERYTHING. He's taken to this blank room that looked like a drunk tank of some kind and they ignored him for HOURS until I walked out and asked what the hell is going on. My husband is so exhausted and that he can't eat or drink. He's completely dehydrated! This nurse is so rude in telling me I need to go back to our room and wait for the doctor. Everything in a hospital takes patience she said. It's been hours already at this point so I'm like okay can he at least get an IV because he's so dehydrated? She says no maam the doctor will decide what he needs. COMPLETELY USELESS NURSES. They wouldn't even allow me to go get him water to try and sip they wanted me to wait for them to get it taking their sweet ass time. They literally treated us like we were criminals or something I was so confused and pissed off I was beside myself. Finally she brings a 2 day expired sandwich to him and acts like okay this should make everything better. I go, Okay he can't eat or drink because he's too dehydrated and exhausted remember? She couldn't care less. That's all we got she said. I point out its expired and she acts like I'm such a drama queen like ARE YOU SERIOUS????? After 4 hours of just waiting my husband is outraged and wants to leave, and I couldn't blame him he was being treated like some kind of psycho?!? The nurse says, well his urine and blood look abnormal but if ya'll wanna go I can't stop you. I said okay so we will wait because now I'm even more scared but I ask how will we be getting back to our car once we finish with the evaluation? She said I don't know. I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW. Call the damn ambulance that said they would come back and take us to our car?! She said I think there must have been some sort of misunderstanding with that, we cannot provide you with a ride you need to make your own arrangements. I want to scream but I don't tell my husband that part because I think that can't be true I will figure it out and we will be fine. We have no money by the way so we couldn't call a cab. I go back the the room and the doctor finally comes and he's a nice enough guy and acts like he understands our frustration and doesn't necessarily know why he's here. He said all your tests look conpletely NORMAL other than the fact you're dehydrated. So that nurse LIED to me about my husbands health...... He said you're not suicidal or violent, you should be in a regular ward and they should've evaluated you there. He apologized and said he would write him a prescription to help him sleep at least. The ride situation is only resolved when my husband charged out the door saying he was going to walk home because this is bullshit. They finally call us a cab and we get home after 7 hours........ worst nurses, worst experience at a hospital ever...
