(late review) In 2019 I went to the walk in clinic and to the emergency room several times (6 at minimum) for treatment. Every time I was sent back home and given pain meds and told to take various antibiotics etc. I knew something more serious was wrong yet no one there would hear me. One Dr. in particular, Dr. Hill was very unprofessional and said some very unprofessional things. It was on a Sunday evening I was in horrible pain once again and went back to the ER and was once again sent back home after pain meds. I had a kidney stone which was discovered by my primary doctor previously and Bothwell was well aware of this. That night when I was sent home, I was unable to move, I was still running a high fever of 103, in horrible pain, dehydrated, low BP etc.... The next morning (Monday) Dr. Wilson called me as he was on call at the ER that morning. He told me I should not have been sent home and that I needed to get to the ER ASAP as he was sure I had an infected kidney stone. He was right!!! By the time I was taken into the ER, my vitals were dropping and I was rushed into emergency surgery to drain the infection from around the stone. I was informed how awfully infected it was. They started me on a broad spectrum of antibiotics until the cultures came back to pinpoint what it was. I was obviously septic. They were able to find out that not only was I septic, but I had also contracted E-coli which was a specific strain that was resistant to all medications except for 2. I spent a few nights in the hospital on my way to recovery. The 1st night I was there, there was a nurse's aide who came in the check my vitals and I was feeling pretty bad at that point. My BP was 56/32 and she did not bother to tell the nurse on duty as that would have constituted a call to the doctor that was on call that night. I was SO upset about this. BP that low can be deadly. I was SO THANFUL for Dr. Wilson calling me that Monday morning because who knows how much longer I would have lasted at the rate I was going. My body was so sick. I have since then made a full recovery. There are many great doctors and nurses that work at BRHC however, I was just treated like a number this time. I hope that people will actually read these things and that some of the medical staff will think of how they would want to be treated or would want their loved ones treated in the event of a medical situation.
