Was told to go to the ER by my primary physician because of chest and neck pain along with numbness in my left arm. Never been so degraded!! I was given something for low potassium then a few minutes later was given some pain meds for the extreme chest pain. No information as to why I had a problem with my potassium or any othe symptoms nor was I given a consult on how I can avoid it!! Few minute later I was told here is your discharge papers any questions. I ask what could be wrong with me all to be told if your condition is not life threatening then we cannot do anything for you but refer you to your primary care. So unprofessional to the level of disrespect!! I could not even get my damn discharge paper work explained to me!!! My blood pressure was high and guess what I never knew until I got home and read it!! Was stated that I need to see someone for it. Wow right?? Do they not regulate blood pressures before they discharge? Oh I forgot it is not LIFE THREATENING!! The real question is If it was high for any reason (due to pain as they say) why wasn t I told??? I will never ever go here again voluntarily! Will be calling my insurance company to inform them of this type of unprofessional health care.
