I went to JFK because my Lupus was acting up and my H/H numbers were down. Went in at 10.7 and down as low as 7.2. Discharged 5 days later when they got it up to 8.2. So worse than when I came in. With an autoimmune problem they put me in a double room with a women who had bronchitis and coughed all night. I went and sat in the hallway for 4 hours until they found me a private room. When I saw a Hematologist he was arrogant and insisted I had a blood transfusion when I had not. Should not have to argue with a doctor who is supposed to be helping you! Could go on further but you get the point. Stayed home Saturday night and went to Cleveland Clinic on Sunday, where I got the treatment I should have gotten at JFK. Will know next time to go directly to C.C. even though it's an hour away. My health is worth the trip.
