Review of Genesys Regional Medical Cente...

This emergency department treats people like they are just a number... I wasn't the guy with the flu that should have went to his regular doctor. I had food stuck in my esophagus. There was no swallowing anything as I kept regurgitating my own saliva. I spent hours trying to get it to go down. After much reluctance I went to the ED at 19:00. I was treated like freak show and pretty much mocked by all the students rotated through. Being that I am in healthcare I could not believe how I was treated. Spent all night in the ED choking into a emisis bag. Finally it passed at 6:30.. I wanted to go home but the GI doc had come in. He completely apologized for what I had been through. The useless ER person that called him at 21:00 the night before did not mention I could not swallow at all. Long story short I found out I had a somewhat rare narrowing condition in my esophagus. This ED is NOT what it used to be. For years I took patients to Health Park as it used to be a good ED. Now the doctor's group and staff is a joke. This hospital is now know as geneside in the healthcare community.
