Review of PeaceHealth

If you can go to a different hospital. In summary ...

If you can go to a different hospital. In summary the doctors will invalidate and gaslight you until the point where you start to question your own health even if you know something is obviously going on. I've been to this hospital frequently as it is one of the only hospitals in the town and I have several complex issues that require treatment if they get serious (Mitral valve regurgitation that requires heart surgery that's getting scheduled, Lupus, history of fluid around heart and lungs, arthritis, nephritis of kidneys, and a history of blood infections surrounding my heart.). I'm only going to share a few of my experiences at this hospitals ER the first involved pulmonary embolisms that laid undetected by them even after 3 or 4 admissions and several other health issues including valve regurgitation, difficulty breathing and I was treated for my pulmonary embolisms and sent home on elquis for a week but within the time frame of about a month I had the same symptoms but were worsening before they detected the lung clots the only reason they admitted me was my mouth and throat swelling and no other reason and it was "to see whats wrong with you". after one doctor came in and said I need to go to OHSU , then the other doctor acted in a big rush to throw me out and send me home despite the records of the doctor being in complete denial of them after I told him to read the records he was going to keep me for a day or two to see how bad it is or if it gets worse. then the third doctor straight up sent me home no ifs ands or buts. the very night I was sent home my throat began swelling again and I was sent to the aforementioned Peacehealth Southwest for care. It turned out I had a blood infection lupus spreading to kidneys my pulmonary embolilsms weren't really gone and I was basically drowning in fluid around my heart and lungs (I had similar symptoms of this thing they diagnosed at st johns and they refused to stop giving me IV fluid). Another experience I had was when I had swelling in my mouth and throat I was still able to breathe but I couldn't swallow fully and my jaw was jerking and spasming and it was painful they said they'd get the doctor (after 2 hours) and I was afraid of dying and said I didn't want to die. The nurses seemed bothered with my fear and instead of reassuring me they said "WHERE ARE You" I responded a hospital and she said "EXACTLY" it eventually went down after I fell asleep on its own without dr intervention as the medications don't really work as its not allergic its angeodemia. the third experience was with the psych ward which I have PTSD of and it triggers me to try to ask for any mental health help because of how I was treated here. The nurses are bothered with your existence the rooms look like jail cells, doctors treat patients like they're hysteric even doing treatment without telling the patient and the locked area Ive seen shaming, verbal insults and psychological abuse in this place it actually made me regret not killing myself and calling for help being in this hospitals area. Additional notes the doctors will seem like they don't care and will be in a rush to discharge you rather than actually help you. Many will refuse patient tests or any patient intervention in care (which is against their patient rights) and if you have medicaid they will turn you away without turning you away by discharging you without treatment and minimizing your symptoms.Another big thing they will do is mask your symptoms with opiates I've had this happen several times during my visit that they would just band aid my pain with opiates then discharge me. ask for painmeds once they will change their attitude towards you and treat you like a junkie. In conclusion do not go to this hospital under almost any circumstance. This hospital made me scared when a doctor says something is "fine" because many times that meant they found something but they don't want to tell me for idk what reason. After giving this review I might actually get discriminated in my care quality based on what I think about the hospital
