Was referred here for an ultrasound of my heart and a holter monitor. I have a latex allergy, though mild the longer my skin is in contact with latex the worse my reaction gets. The information was all over the referral my doctor sent in, because I was sitting in the office when they sent over the fax to Rose. However, I end up with tape all over my chest and stomach to hold the electrodes in place for the monitor, the minute the tape is on my skin I feel itchy. Next day I had to rip off the tape on my chest because it had become unbearable. Red rashes and puffy skin was what I found under the tape. After removing the middle electrode from my chest I felt a chemical burn sensation and even more itchy skin irritation. A rash/burn was left by the middle membrane portion of the electrode after it was removed from my skin. I really have to wonder if they read the referral or their own registration office's notes where I also said I have a latex allergy. When logging into the healthone it says no known allergies, so apparently no one paid attention.
