The ER department needs more and better doctors. I went there for severe bone pain. After waiting for hours, I was told I had UTI. I was prescribed a questionable antibiotic I told them I did not want to take and a pain med I was allergic to. Still in severe pain, 2 days later I had friends take me back to the ER as nothing grew on the culture and was told I didn't meet their criteria to be there. A male nurse had to dress me and wheel me to the door as I was unable to dress myself or walk. I felt that I was just kicked to the curb. A week later I was x-rayed at an independent lab and was ultimately diagnosed with bone lesions and dislocated hip due to myelomia. I have never had a helpful experience at this ER.
