They would have killed my son if his dad wouldn't have gotten involved. I went to the desk several times to tell them my son's condition had changed. A sudden increase in shortness of breath, couldn't lay down, increased pain in his chest. All these symptoms were a definite change in his status. They had done a CT scan of his chest done that morning, which no one had looked at because it was the weekend, and I was just an "hysterical" mother and my son was just "faking" it. Finally that evening after his father had to get angry and insisted to see the doctor, they looked at the scan, which showed a huge pulmonary embolism blocking his entire right lung! He was life flighted to OHSU and had emergency surgery to save his life. The care he received in ICU was much better and the nurses were knowledgeable and professional.
