It has taken me quite a while to be able to conceptualize and verbalize what happened to me at this facility. It took an emotional and psychological toll that I needed to process before being able to verbalize this.
After being unable to sleep for two days straight due to intense, level 10, stabbing abdominal pain, I admitted I needed help and drove to the Avista Adventist Hospital Emergency Room at around 530-6 am. I was admitted, put in a room, and immediately examined, unfortunately, that is where the productive and professional part of my emergency room visit ended.
I informed my doctor and nurses that I had an IUD implant, and was suspicious it was causing the issue. After going through a barrage of tests, including a CT scan, an ultrasound, and several others, over the course of about 5 hours, my doctor re entered the room to inform me there was "nothing wrong with me." Not that "we couldn't find what is wrong," they openly said "there is nothing wrong with you," while providing no information as to whether my IUD was correctly placed or even visible. The nurse discharging me went as far as to imply to my father, who immediately drove from South Denver to the hospital after hearing of my condition, that I was seeking drugs, and calmly explained that they do not write prescriptions when there is nothing wrong with a patient. She 'helpfully' suggested that I should try using ibuprofen to manage my symptoms (when I was admitted, I told them I had taken three ibuprofen every 4 hours for the past two days to manage the level of pain, which clearly she did not notice when consulting my chart). This was her response to my father asking to have me referred to a gynecological department for further investigation, and asking what else we could do. The answer we continuously got was "we do not write prescriptions in cases like this," despite the fact we were asking for referrals, second opinions, and options, not drugs. All persons involved were obviously disinterested, and my doctor went as far as to roll her eyes, sigh, and recommend a hot pad for my discomfort, again in response to asking to be referred to another physician.
After two days of calling gynecological offices in Boulder trying to schedule a same day emergency appointment, I was denied due to the fact these offices require a hospital recommendation to schedule same day appointments. Finally, after having to take almost a week off work due to excruciating pain, I contacted a Planned Parenthood office, who despite being underfunded and understaffed, booked me a same day appointment. A 20 minute, $120 pelvic exam concluded that my IUD had dislodged and was wrecking havoc in my uterus, as it had cut the side of my uterus and was beginning to navigate into my abdominal cavity. How Avista managed to miss all of this with the literal thousands of dollars worth of tests they charged through my insurance, I have no idea. Planned Parenthood discussed further options and after care, and sent me on my way with several referrals for follow up appointments to ensure the damage done would not cost me my fertility.
If I were to summarize my visit at Avista Adventist Hospital, I would shortly say that after managing to get an enormous amount of money from my insurance, they humiliated me, accused me of being a drug addict, and discharged me with a condition that could have caused serious infection, internal damage, cost me my fertility, and possibly even my life had I not ultimately managed to receive help from Planned Parenthood. I am utterly disgusted this hospital manages to have one of the better reputations in the Boulder area with the horrific quality of treatment they offered me.
Unfortunately I ultimately had to drop my malpractice lawsuit against the doctors involved due to lack of personal funds and since my insurance had already paid most of the bills. The best I feel I can do is warn any others who suspect they have gynecological emergencies to stay AWAY from this emergency room and seek out your nearest gynecological office or Planned Parenthood.
