Went into the ER because of anxiety/panic attacks ...

Went into the ER because of anxiety/panic attacks that been lasting for days straight along with dehydration from the vomiting the anxiety was causing. After telling several nurses my symptoms & dehydration & weight loss I been experiencing. She tells me that they will send me to a room & get a EKG done. Sadly nothing was done during this visit. I never got an IV, never got the EKG, they told me I was gonna be speaking with a behavioral specialist which turned out to be a regular social worker that just wanted to make sure that I didn t wanna kill myself. They only thing they did was a urine test to make sure I was pregnant? And finally a doctor who spent maybe 2 minutes in the room to just check my heart & lungs. Had zero concern for the symptoms I had, zero concern that I was dehydrated & also severely underweight that it was beyond apparent. The care team at this hospital made me feel even worse about my conditions then before I went in. This hospital treats mental health as a joke & if you ever ever say anything about anxiety before your other symptoms they treat you like a burden throughout the whole visit. Best part about this whole visit is that I was sharing a room with another patient & the other patient even complained of similar symptoms. She got an iv & got several nurses that came in to check up on her every 30 min. I couldn t even get a simple blanket as I had my poor little brothers hoodie on my body trying to keep me warm while I hear the nurse in the next room over say to the girl oh hey would you like a blanket? . The whole experience made me realize that not only how much they didn t care about mental health but how differently they treat you from everyone else. Won t ever go here again
