I recently had a pretty bad fall. And injured my lower back. My family Dr sent me to Emerge because of possible sacral fracture and pinched nerves. I chose to come here due to less wait time. Well I made a big mistake. The Dr did not listen to my concerns, instead, I was treated as a drug seeker. They took ONE x-ray of my tailbone !?!? My talebone is fine and I already knew that. Took me off the prescribed Tylenol 3 s that my Family Dr prescribed and gave me a prescription for Naproxen, and told me to take extra strength tylenol instead. I don t have muscle soreness or inflamation. I have a fractured sacrum and no one even cared to do the appropriate testing. I do pole fitness as a sport and the Dr who treated me, basically asked if I was drunk when I fell and assumed I was a stripper. When infact I have never used hard drugs in my life and I am a Science Major. Judgmental hospital. Will never be returning there! Felt worse when I left than when I arrived! Felt insulted and judged! Do not go there! I ve been there 3 times in my life and everytime, got judged as a drug seeker because of my old acne scars. They probably thought I was on meth
