Review of Southern New Hampshire Medical...

Went to the ER at Southern NH Hospital a month ago...

Went to the ER at Southern NH Hospital a month ago as my wife was having very major issues. My wife was having trouble talking, moving, and she had numbness and weakness all over her body. We get admitted into the ER and out first ER doctor was Dr. Collin O Brien. If you ever go to this ER, which I will never do again, and you get Dr. O Brien, tell him to leave and get another doctor. Dr. Collin O Brien listened as we accounted what happened but was rolling his eyes at some parts in the story basically implying we were lying and fabricating our story. His response to our account of what happened so far Normally if people think they are having a stroke they come to the ER within thirty minutes. We never once mentioned having a stroke. He was kind enough to put words in out mouth. He also said that he had never seen something like this before, implied that my wife was a lying drug addict just seeking for more drugs. He reluctantly sent my wife for a brain MRI and unbeknownst to us, sent some blood off to be tested for drugs. After receiving these results, they no longer pushed the drug addict side but then pushed that I abuse my wife at home. So Dr. Collin O Brien s two top notch solutions to my wife s major problems 1) You re a druggy 2) You are being abused by your husband. If you want an ER that treats life-threatening problems in those two ways, go the Southern. If not, go anywhere else. Because of Dr. O Brien, we wasted a day of serious testing. Our next doctor we saw after we were admitted was amazed my wife had not been seen in the ER by a neurologist. He was appalled by this. I will never go to Southern again. To not be negative about everything, my wife was actually treated very well in the hospital during her 3 day stay.
