I was in a car accident hit by a drunk driver on Nov 13, 2013 I was taken to the emergency room at Rowan. At that time I did not have any broken bones, there was a small cut on my wrist, however I felt a little agitated of course. My car was totaled and I was more concerned about getting back to Charlotte; I was new to the area. Because I was not in pain and felt okay I informed the nurse very politely that I would seek medical treatment in Charlotte if conditionS were to get worse. The worst nightmare took place be mindful I am in the medical profession so I am familiar with proper protocol. Seven people then rushed into the room and forced me in a supine position. I was asking them to stop restraining me. I told them I was A DOCTOR. That IT WAS UNLAWFUL WHAT THEY WERE DOING. They were yelling stop moving and the reason I was moving one of the men present was grinding his knuckles into my leg causing pain. The only reason he stopped I kept repeating his name and ASKING HIM to stop grinding your left knuckles into my left knee, I was very descriptive in what part of his hand was used to elicit pain to a part of my body. THEY INJECTED A DRUG WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.
I AM A PROFESSIONAL AND I WAS TREATED THIS WAY. PART OF THEIR ACTIONS WERE RACIALLY BASED AND I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE THAT EXPECTS GOOD MEDICAL CARE TREATMENT TO TRY ANOTHER COUNTY.
When I reviewed the medical records they had the nerve to alter the scenario and reported I was unruly to cover it up.
