Just moved to Rome Ga two months ago from Florida....

Just moved to Rome Ga two months ago from Florida. I have cancer and kidney failure. Today I went by ambulance to Redmond Hospital. I was in so much pain. As soon as I arrived at the hospital I was taken to the front to the waiting room and sat in a chair for 5 1/2 hours. Never spoke to anyone at the hospital during that time. After 5 1/2 hours I was taken back twice to draw blood and then I went back to waiting room. The doctor ordered a Cat Scan with dye and I still hadn t seen the doctor yet. I am allergic to the dye and it was told to the paramedics before they brought me in. I understand a hospital gets very busy. I understand why they try to get some tests done to make things go faster. I rather wait and see a doctor first and go over any tests the doctor orders before they are done on me. If I hadn t been paying attention today. They wouid have injected me with a dye that I am highly allergic too. The doctor and nurses would have known if I had a chance to speak to them before tests was ordered. I ended up leaving the hospital and going to Floyd Medical and was admitted into their hospital two hours later. At least at Floyd Hospital you see a doctor before they start ordering tests.
