I left work early yesterday and went to Spectrum Health (Butterworth) ER because I was having pain in my left arm. The doctor looked at my arm. It was clear that it was not bruised or broken, but he ordered an X-ray of my arm anyway instead of checking for arteriosclerosis (or a build up of plaque in my arteries that might be causing my arm pain). He found nothing broken in the X-ray (duh) and sent me home with the very same pain that I walked into the ER with. Totally a waste of time!

I called to complain about the misdiagnosis and the person with patient relations stated quite curtly that, "Patients don't get to dictate treatment".

Avoid Spectrum Health at all costs! Find another hospital.
