Review of Kaseman

There is no ZERO star.

There is no ZERO star.

On January 4th of 2020, about noon, my son dislocated his shoulder at his friend s house due to epileptic seizure. They live close to Ana Kaseman so that is where they went. My son sat in the ER for nearly FOUR hours with his dislocated shoulder and arm turning blue. When they finally were ready to fix his shoulder, just before they were going to knock him out, he had a second seizure. He had NEVER had two in one day before. The second seizure put his shoulder back. I know this from his friends that were there.

Now that he had a seizure in the hospital, they suddenly decided that he needed to be admitted to Pres. Neurology. What for? The seizure disorder is in his records. Why should he have to be admitted?

I showed up after the second seizure. My son was still groggy and not all there as it takes him a while to become cognizant after a seizure which doctors should know. They told me he agreed to be admitted. He would agree to anything for an hour after his seizure episode. They thus began to pump the medications he was prescribed WITHOUT asking him or me about what he takes. Maybe they did, he doesn t know. The KEPRA drug he was prescribed a few months earlier turned him into a zombie. He was NOT taking it but they pumped it into him intravenously. THEY should know epileptics do not always take EXACTLY the prescriptions they are given as they play hell just trying to stay cognizant without having a seizure.

I arrived about 6PM and was told he was waiting to be transferred to Pres neurology. I asked WHY. Because they felt he needed to. WHY? They can t give a reason. We sat there until 5PM THE NEXT DAY waiting. Finally, when my son was decently cognizant, after the Kepra had worn off, he asked me, What are we still doing here?

That surely does NOT sound like a person who agreed to be admitted. At one point, shortly after I got there, a nurse was taking a urine sample. She made me get out of the room to get the sample. After she came out, she said, He agreed to be admitted. I went back in to find my son completely groggy. As I stayed next to my son, his legs began to twitch as any man s does when he must urinate SOON. Turns out, that nurse who took a sample, did ONLY that. My son, laying in bed was FORCED to piss himself because they could not BOTHER to see that he could function!!!! This would happen AGAIN because of the Kepra drug. Later, I heard some nurse complaining about him being incontinent. This same nurse verified that my son agreed to be admitted when the moment I walk back in, he asks me, When are we leaving, Daddy?



My son told me the other day that he remembers the waiting room for a long time and them about to give him the sedative to do his shoulder and then we were walking out. That is ALL he can remember. Does NOT sound to me like someone who agreed to be admitted. My father would be so disgusted that ANYONE, let alone one of his own grandchildren, would have been treated this way. He used to RUN Pres day surgery. He taught me what the Hippocratic Oath is which most people in healthcare seem to have NEVER heard of.
