I went into the emergency room with terrible ear pain. The wait was very short because I was the only one in the waiting room which I was very grateful for. I was then taken back and and was being questioned by a nurse which one of the questions was how much pain I was in and I explained that my pain on a scale from 1-10 was a 6-7 and that it hurt bad enough that I was having a hard time thinking clearly. About this time the doctor came in (J.Adam's) and I explained what had brought me in. He looked in my ear and then said I had a bad ear infection ant then left the room. He returned promptly and then decided to shove a dry hard piece of cloth in my ear and gave me a prescription to go pick up and basically said he was done. In the end the visit was very short but it was too short!!
There was no testing done to see what type of infection I had, there was no ear drops or antibiotic administered, and I had to ask on a few separate occasions for something for pain. I asked if they could do anything immediate for the terrible pain I was in and was ignored. I was given a small prescription for pain pills but had to wait another 2 hours to get it filled. I feel I was treated more like an inconvenience than a patient who's doctor truly cared for. Now it is 4 in the morning and have been up all night in pain wondering if I need to go to a different hospital where I will be taken care of properly.
