VERY LONG REVIEW. PLEASE READ. Nurse Practitioner ...

VERY LONG REVIEW. PLEASE READ. Nurse Practitioner Rodrigo Camacho has the absolute worst bedside manner I've come across. He is so incredibly rude. I came into the hospital having had pain in my left shoulder for 3 days. If it weren't Saturday, and I hadn't been in crippling pain, on the floor of my bedroom crying, I would have gone to my doctor's office. The joke of a nurse practitioner ordered x-rays of my shoulder. Understandable. He ordered a shot of Toridol 3 hours after I was in a room. It didn't help at all. I told them it wouldn't, but I was willing to try anything to make the pain stop at that point. Seriously didn't even touch it. He ordered x-rays of my ribs. Also understandable, being that the pain is around/under my left shoulder blade. As I'm typing this, I have yet to know what is wrong with me. He ordered a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvic area? Doesn't make sense. Urine sample? Doesn't make sense. Blood sample? Doesn't make sense. So I refused the things that didn't make sense. He had the nerve to say things to me like "What's wrong with you?" "Don't tell me how to do my job." "You don't need to be crying in here, you're scaring other patients." I told him I was crying because I was in pain and he wasn't doing anything about it. Then I looked at my wrist band and saw that Dr. Deluca was supposed to be my attending. So I asked where he was and Rodrigo Camacho said he was seeing patients. Very sick patients. As though I didn't matter. So I was done with him and demanded to see his superior. Can anyone guess who that was? Dr. Deluca. Thank Heavens. That man is a godsend and the only reason I give the ER 5 stars. Okay, my nurse was friendly, too. She used to work for my boyfriend and was never once rude to me. Dr. Deluca agreed that the other tests Rodrigo had ordered didn't make sense. He apologized several times on his behalf, said he'd talk to him, and promised to take care of me. He even gave me a hug because of how upset I was by the treatment I had received. He handled my pain, looked over my x-rays, and now I'm waiting to be discharged. I got here around noon, it's 5:15. Dr. Deluca came to see me not even 30 minutes ago. Oh, and by the way, once my pain was treated, not only could I move my arm without sobbing from the pain in my shoulder, but my crying was no longer "disturbing other patients." This is the only ER I will ever use as long as I'm in Garland County. I recommend this hospital and it's associated clinics regularly. I even hope to work here someday. But from this point forward I will warn everyone to make sure that they are seeing a REAL PHYSICIAN and not some joker like Rodrigo Camacho, NP. I'm not saying Nurse Practitioners are all bad, I see a LPN at my doctor's office. I just think people should know that this man, Rodrigo Camacho, NP, is not a doctor. He doesn't tell you that he isn't a doctor. And he orders unnecessary tests. MAKE SURE YOU ARE SEEING A REAL DOCTOR. And Dr. Russell Deluca deserves a raise.
