Review of Coliseum Medical Center

My daughter and I both were at the coliseum to be seen and the doctor we had didn t really seem too concerned about how we were feeling. We were both experiencing nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. My symptoms also included body aches. There were no beds. While we were there my daughter continued to vomit while we were in the waiting area. After a while we were both finally seen and after we were seen it was a while before we were given any medication for our symptoms and it was just a tablet for nausea. I was given nothing for pain. My daughter had an appointment with her doctor two days after our ER visit and I found out that my daughter s ears were full of fluid which the ER doctor neglected to tell me because he checked her ears as well. Not to mention when I went to pick up the prescription the ER doctor prescribed I was told that he didn t take the insurance we have so I had to cover the meds that he prescribed. How do you allow a doctor to see a patient who s insurance is not accepted by that doctor? I have never heard of that in all my years of living. The coliseum has gotten awful. During my mother s stay in the hospital during October of 2020 she was also treated horribly by staff and sent home while she was still ill and had to return which resulted in her having to stay even longer the second time around and also go on a ventilator. I almost lost my mother due to negligence. I don t know what has happened at the coliseum but it used to be one of the best facilities. I ve been very disappointed the last couple of visits I ve had.
