So I have been taking Adderall for nine years and I decided to take myself off of the medication for the first time so if anybody knows anything about it it s not a great idea nevertheless my doctor was not in the office I was unable to make an appointment so I live in the Arcadia District so my spouse drove me to Banner University being the closest. I arrived at the emergency room entered my name and demographics into their iPad system with zero greeting from any of the staff and proceeded to sit down. About 20 minutes later my name was called and I sat in a isolation room for 20 minutes till a doctor came in. I explained my concerns over feeling horrible and feeling of death but not suicidal In any way also ringing in my ears and possible sinus infection. The doctor looked in my ears stated I had a film on one of my eardrums and left the room. 30 minutes later I get transferred to a holding area run by 2 apparent RN s. 3 hours later I asked what was going on with my care and I was told we are waiting for A crisis team to Skype and meet with me on an iPad. Apparently there is no one qualified in crisIs intervention to meet with me one on one. 25 minutes later I was escorted into a room and talked to a woman that was not an RN nor a doctor via an iPad and still none of my concerns were even addressed it seemed like they were trying to fish to hold me for an extended amount of time. I was escorted back to the holding area where I sat for another two hours with no interaction from the ED or nursing staff. I politely went up to the nursing staff and I asked to sign myself out of the facility. 30 minutes later the doctor that I met with originally in the ED walked in and she proceeded to tell me that I could follow up with an ENT doctor. What a waste of time, medical staff, insurance scamming I can t believe it that hospital is even afloat and practices healthcare. As big as that hospital is not one person is trained in crisis or behavioral health is outlandish and saddening with the demographics that surrounds the hospital I wouldn t Recommend nor go back to that hospital for any reason whatsoever I am a former paramedic for over 10 years and I ve never seen such a poorly run hospital in my life
