In 2014, I had my first Grand Mal Seizure and my housemate called for an ambulance. After coming out of the seizure, I developed "unusual muscle spasms" that impaired my ability to breath.

After arriving at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center's Emergency Room, I was wheeled in and the intake question begin. After my seizures, I am not able to communicate for several hours (form sentences, understand questions) which angered the ER staff. After the intake was complete, the connected the monitoring equipment and showed my Oxygen saturation was in the 70's. The doctor only stopped in to ask where I lived and worked, then left. I never saw a doctor or another nurse after that interaction. My O2 stat remained in the 70% for the next 4-5 hours until a discharge nurse came in and told me the doctor was busy with two other patients who were "in worse condition".

The brain hypoxia I suffered well EIRMC ER refused stabilizing treatment decimated a number of characteristics and skills I use to posses. Looking backwards with the changes and symptomology, my prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lode both were damaged from oxygen deprivation.

I lack the hard evidence for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Be careful when visiting here.
