John Tedd Review of Midwest Orthopaedics at RUSH

The doctor was very nice and helpful. I just wish it didn't take so long to get my MRI done I saw the doctor a few days ago and I couldn't get the MRI scheduled for over 3 weeks and iI' dealing with horrendous pain and the painkillers I'm getting are not helping. She said she couldn't give me anything stronger because I'm being seen at the pain clinic for something else. It doesn't make any sense to force someone to live in this much pain for so long. Something needs to be done to expedite MRIs and pain management. I'm only able to see Dr. Jaycox on a very limited basis because of his limited schedule and because of this I'm going through a lot of pain and suffering. I've been to the ER and they did very little to help plus one of the nurses i dealt with treated me with nothing but disrespect after she asked me where I live and I explained i currently live in a homeless shelter. The doctor at Midwest orthopedic told me i can't even schedule a follow-up until after the MRI which isn't until 3-21-19 and then god knows how much l have to wait to be seen again. Your scheduling system sucks especially when you have someone like me in the pain I'm in and barely able to walk. Is this how you treat all your patients??? I'm ready to start looking for somewhere else to be treated that won't take months to help me with my left hip and leg. I can only take so much more pain before I turn to other options that will definitely kill my pain for good. I hope I don't have to go down that route but I'm running out of patience and I can't take this pain too much longer. You all need to make some changes for the better of your patients. I'm getting sick and tired of dealing with RUSH and the constant long waits for treatment. I will never go to the ER at RUSH ever again. Don't bother contacting me because I've filed complaints and they seem to have fallen on deaf ears and I don't want to deal with that anymore. If this doesn't get help soon I will just take matters into my own hands. I just can't wait much longer.
