nishanth reddy gutha Review of UPMC Mercy

I was rushed to the emergency room on October 20th with severe stomach pain, coming in out of consciousness and vomiting. The nurse(mid 20 s brunette lean) that came out to assist me into a wheel chair immediately began to make fun of me, assuming I was drunk. I was not. This pain has happened before and without the influence of alcohol. Once the nurse brought me inside, she continued to mock me as if I was just drunk and proceeded to laugh at my expense. Mind you, I was in SEVERE pain. She made me feel extremely embarrassed. I was in such pain that I could not convey it had nothing to do with alcohol. All I could do was listen to her laugh as she then tried to insert an IV and failed multiple times to find the vein. Picture enclosed. The doctor s however, was very very very nice and helped me through my pain. Regardless if I was overly intoxicated, if I am in need of medical assistance, no one, especially a nurse that I am putting my faith in, should be mocking me. Completely unprofessional and heart breaking that a UPMC mercy emergency nurse would conduct herself in this manner. Absolutely absurd. I give this a 2 star only because the doctor was extremely helpful and saw me within 10 minutes.
