Went to the ER today because my throat is extremely swollen and it's hard to breathe/swallow. I've been having severe headaches as well. I was seen by a nurse that looked at me as if I was stupid, she simply felt the swelling on my neck and said "probably strep throat" then left the room. She ran no Rapid Strep Test and took no swabs. I had asked for a cup of water and they refused to give me one so I had to go to the sink and drink with my hands. When I received the discharge papers, none of my symptoms matched with the ones I've been having. I have not been coughing, sneezing, or running any fever. All of my symptoms were listed in the "Seek Immediate Medical Care" section. I was prescribed to take 1,500 mg of Amoxicillin for the next 10 days. I am severely irate that they did not take more care for me, seeing how I was a patient seeking medical care. I now have to go to Your Docs In, to get a better and more thorough diagnoses. Thanks a lot PRMC, way to take care of your patients.
