From my husband experience...HORRIBLE! I was there...

From my husband experience...HORRIBLE! I was there and witnessed it all too and yelled at attending!

Came into E.R. today after eye doctors referred me to go to E.R. ASAP to be seen by opthomolgist. I was having red itchy hurting and blurred eyes, blurred vision, and my skin was puffy. Headaches. Told attending. And he had someone else come in. Then he took me back at looked at my eyes with a machine. Ended with I had allergic conjunctivitis, after saying that I wasnt describing conjunctivitis. After my girlfriend told him we were sent down to see an opthomolgist he said we need to see one ASAP but he wasnt getting one (EVEN THOU YOU HAVE ONE) because he said AND I QUOTE "IT WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY" my vision is blurred and going...he tested my vision. I had 20/20 and now its going. And in your notes to "come back if this happens" was vision decreasing....so why exactly do you have specialist on call, when I'm being told to see one ASAP and I came to be treated. Now I'm going to be paying a bill that I could have waited to to the opthomolgist. I will not be going back to your hospital.if this gets worse because I was denied being seen by appropriate specialist I will be contacting appropriate people too. It's sad that people have to fight for their health and doctors dont care. I came to metro because I was told I would get help. I could have went and got over counter that was prescribed. But not told why this is happening to me. And nothing done or said about my skin in my discharge papers. You have jobs to treat then do it! Not try and get rid of people that actually need help, and being accused of taking drugs majority of the questions at first. If you think that's what it was then piss test me. But I kept telling them and they wouldn't stop asking me. I answered you MULTIPLE TIMES. If you arent going to listen and just push me aside and not get me the help I need why do you even have an E.R. or hospital for that matter?
