I was left in the waiting area for over 8 hours literally sobbing in pain. They did take me back for a CT and gave me a single hydrocodone tablet for the pain. They treated me as if I were over exaggerating my pain. They sent me back to the waiting area and a couple of hours later they came out and told me it would still be an unknown amount of time before they could get me in a bed and treat me for a migraine. They said it required a bed to give me IV meds for the migraine. They would not even give me oxygen and looked at my husband like he was crazy when he asked about giving me oxygen for the migraine. They treated us as if we were drug seeking junkies. I was literally wailing and sobbing in the waiting area. I was in that much pain. I actually have a high tolerance for pain. You can ask anyone who knows me. We finally left and drove to Baylor in Waxahachie where they got me right in, turned down the lights, gave me a shot of Reglan (NOT an IV), put me on oxygen and gave me a Benadryl (the standard migraine cocktail) and I had relief within minutes of arriving. They showed concern, compassion and made sure I was comfortable. A person should not be left in the waiting area for 8 hours in that kind of pain and told it would be several more before they would even treat you. I will go to Baylor from now on and so will all of my family members even though Charlton is less than 5 minutes down the street from my parents house. Baylor knows how to treat people.
