I went in on a Saturday and after an exam and x-ray with the doctor available I was diagnosed with a blockage of my bowel caused by a "fiberous substance" that would eventually dissolve. I was sent home with the option of going to the hospital IF things didn't clear up soon. It was not strongly advised that I go in. While the overall diagnoses of bowel obstruction was correct, the cause, the severity, and the possibility that I could pass it on my own at home were NOT CORRECT. I went to the ER the next day (Sunday) with my life in peril. CATscans were done and it was found I had a grade 3 obstruction and should have been sent straight to the hospital from my visit to Canyon View. I underwent surgery on the Monday to remove an ADHESIVE BAND that was choking my bowel. To be clear, NOT A FIBEROUS SUBSTANCE. 1 star because you were right about not eating solid food I guess? Glad I didn't die.
