Day after Labor Day bp very low, call ambulance and I told them I didn t want to go to Tomball hospital. Oh no it s changed it s not Tomball hospital anymore it s HCA and they re so much more better now. I was checked in at 1:54 released at 3:09 was slightly comatose I guess like I m just not awake the problem was I took too much melatonin my blood pressure was low. So I log onto the portal after calling the hospital because I haven t received a bill I thought I ll call any way. I figured the bill to be 5000 to 8000 tops I called $21,000 and for what ?? They did A CT scan of my head and EKG checked my blood sugar and drew blood twice. Saw a doctor being generous and giving of maybe 15 minutes within the timeframe nurses of course did the blood draw the urinalysis and sent for the CT scan. Was told they thought there was some infection was worried they may give me IV drip and an anabiotic but the second blood draw showed nothing and that is where they released me to go home because there was nothing wrong. My back is gone paid $1000 cash for an MRI they laid the discharge papers on the bed did not help me up did not help me out did not offer a wheelchair let me lean against the wall still groggy and when they asked me if I was OK I said I just need to get to the waiting room and they pointed to the double doors. A young lady called to check on my experience and I told her I guess that s the going rate for not having insurance you re politely just drop kicked out the door. If I have my way I will never ever go back to that hospital again this is not the first time but it is certainly going to be the very last time. I can vouch for confusion going on also because after the EKG was done another nurse comes in and proceeds to start to do an EKG until they realize that one had been done it had been taken care of so if I get an itemized bill would say is I m not charged twice. Furious that s the only word I can think of absolutely positively furious. And by the way I am a certified medical assistant don t know it all but I do know a little bit and I know that this experience was the saddest experience I have recently had.
