I have been to Newton medical center twice and I was pleased with the way I was treated. However, yesterday was whole different story. My husband has been very sick since 04/08/19, we went to his doctor and she sent us to the hospital. NOT ONE PERSON AT THE ER KNEW WHY WE WERE THERE. NOT ONE OF THEM NEW OUR FAMILY DOCTOR SENT US THERE. SHE SENT OVER LAB RESULTS FROM HER OFFICE AND A SHORT SUMMARY OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHE ALSO HAD SPOKE WITH A SURGEON AT THE HOSPITAL AND ASK HIM TO COME IN AND LOOK AT MY HUSBAND FOR A SECOND OPINION. NOT ONE PERSON AT THE HOSPITAL KNEW ANY OF THIS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO EVEN LOOK. EVERYONE OF THEM THOUGHT WE HAD JUST WALKED IN ON OUR OWN. SO AFTER MORE BLOOD WORK AND A CAT SCAN THE PA ON CALL CAME SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND WE WERE FREE TO GO. AFTER QUESTIONING HER ABOUT WHAT OUR DOCTOR HAD SAID SHE SAID'OH I HAD NO IDEA SHE SENT YOU HERE ' AND WHEN I ASK HER ABOUT THE SURGEON SHE HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALJITAABOUT. SHE HATEFULLY SAID SHE WOULD CALL HIM BUT AHE DIDN'T SEE HOW THAT WAS GOING TO HELP. AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES SHE CAME IN AND SAID THE SURGEON DIDN'T REMEMBER SPEAKING WOTH OUR DOCTOR HAD WE SHOULD GO. SO WE I ASK HER ABOUT HIS LAB RESULTS HER EXACT WORDS WERE IM NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND DEBATE THIS WITH YOU. AND SHE WALKED OUT. MY HUSBAND'S TEMP IS RIGHT NOW IS 104.2. AND HE REFUSES TO GO HERE TO THE HOSPITAL. HOW SAID THEY DISMISSED HIM AT THE ER AND TODAY HE IS SICKER THAN HE HAS BEEN.
