I went to the ER on Sunday the 6th of May 2018 I had woke up Saturday and could not walk in sever back pain and down the side of my thigh into my knee shooting burning pain. I took Motrin 800 mg every 8 hours thinking i slept wrong or pulled a muscle.I told them that as long as I stand I could tolerate the pain but I could not sit or lay or I went into muscle spasms . The Dr came in all nasty saying they could not do anything for me there. No examination nothing but they took my $150.00 co-pay a anti inflammatory shot a steroid and mild muscle relaxer. Suffered another 24 hours went to my DR. on Monday still not better by Thursday but tolerable as long as I was on my forearms and knees on my couch. Ended up at Concentra Urgent care where they actually did a examination X-Ray and diagnosed me with Lumbar Radiculopathy acute put me in a lumbar compression back brace 40 mg prednisone per day.And I was able to sleep in my bed that night. They labeled me as mental health/substance abuse ?? What?? I read the paperwork when I got home. Unreal I am a machinist with a aerospace company which drug test. No wonder I was treated so poorly. I have filed a complaint with my insurance company I should not have to pay for a service I did not receive. They can't do anything for me so why take my $150.00 co-pay and the dr gets paid also I will never come back here. they could have looked at my records and saw that I do not frequent the ER for drugs. I had my gallbladder removed there was in for 5 days with C-diff which the 1st- 2 days the lab lost my 1st stool sample then the 2nd one they ran the wrong test by the 3rd day they got it right and was able to give me the proper medication. then was released 2 days later so I was charged for the 2 extra days for their mistake. Then want to charge me for their mistake .I am done with this hospital or any DR who is affiliated with them.
