From the time I entered ER I was treated as if I was the only patient in the hospital. Without a doubt I had the most experienced nurses that exist. When I was moved from the ER to ICU there were five or more nurses waiting for me and with thin five minutes or less they had me ready for the ICU including the most comfortable bed in any hospital including tucked in, medicine given and light turned off. I felt very safe. The only problem was Dr. Pierson who told me that I needed a stress test at the hospital to make sure my heart could handle everyday life. He insisted I have it before I left. I didn t take the test. However, later I felt he was right; I called his office so he could arrange for one that day. I found out the quickest I could get in would be two months or more since I needed an appointment first which proved I either never needed one or he was willing to risk my life because he was pouting. I certainly did not expect such a tantrum form a Doctor with his experience. Either way he was unprofessional and for the first time I felt unsafe in the hospital.
