I went to the ER about 3 weeks ago ago. I was in severe pain in my stomach and abdomen. They done a CT scan and found my appendix was swelling. They kept me that night and RELEASED me the next morning. Came home, pain was still very bad and decided to go to Norfolk Sentera...got there at 1130pm they took me straight back, done another CT and my appendix was still swelling. Next thing i knew i was going in the OR. Needless to say I WILL NEVER go back to Albemarle for anything. They should not have sent me home...my appendix could have ruptured and caused alot more problems.Sentara Norfolk handled it very well and i am doing great! My incisions have healed quite nicely. Just beware and get a 2nd opinion on anything they say!
