I ended up being admitted but left even though they said a room was ready for over 12 hours. I was going crazy just sitting in a room with no internet, tv, or even anything to read i wasn't feeling well at all and wanted something to help pass the time since i was miserable and very uncomfortable in the bed, i tried sleeping but i never could get a pillow they didn't look and just said i think we are out, all i got was the thin sheet that i received after the ambulance got me there and i think it was from a paramedic. I think more of an effort should be made to keep patients comfortable. They said i was admitted but never really said much more i know my heart and possible stroke were maybe involved oh and i did find out after waiting 10 hours to finally test me i didn't have covid 19 which i never even suspected anyway. My nurse was very friendly and did try to talk me into staying and i did my best to try but i am also severly agoraphobic and my anxiety was getting the best of me expecially since i was so uncomfortable and had nothing to do to help pass time and take my mind off my situation. I was told if i leave i was more than likely going home to die at that point i thought i would rather die in the comfort of home than sitting there going crazy. I was told i wad being monitored but after asking several times to use the bathroom and waiting for hours i unplugged myself from the machines and had to walk across the hall and take myself after that for the next 6-7 hours i was able to use the bathroom whenever i wanted nobody even knew i was off the machines and NOT being monitored and i had to use the bathroom several times. I still feel really bad and know i will probably end back up there but i will make sure i have a phone charger and get a better data plan and also bring something to read and a blanket and pillow. I was treated nicely i have no complaints on that my nurse was very sweet. Just after 12 hours of sitting in a room all alone uncomfortable as can be and bored is too much i think for anyone but expecially someone with severe agoraphobia.
