I had the most horrifying experience ever! I have always been a fan of WHC but absolutely not this time.
I called my doctor having having some symptoms of infections after surgery, who told me to go to the ED. Well I went and had to stand up because I couldn't sit down for an hour. Then to go in the back where they put a line in and stuck me twice. After that, the ED worked diligently to get my pain under control along with the other symptoms.
I went up to 3F and had the most horrifying experience! The nurse never came into check on me let alone my IV line, which she was putting meds in the whole time (only when I called her). They kept telling me they were waiting on the my doctor to discharge me but when I called to his office he already put plans to discharge me. They took the foley out gave me some meds and then came back with 2 vials and mixed them together then stuck me in the shoulder as I screamed "it hurts", "stopped now". She took the needle out and I cried for 20 min and told them to get my papers together because I was leaving.
The resident nurse called an hour after I left, to ask if I were coming back.
