Review of O'Bleness Health System

Literally the worst hospital ever. One time I went...

Literally the worst hospital ever. One time I went in to the ER because I had mono and my throat was bleeding and I couldn't even swallow my own spit. Not only did they take FOREVER to get to me, they made me take a pee test and when the results came back, they told me I had a UTI (I thought this was strange because I hadn't had any symptoms of a UTI) they then proceeded to give me antibiotics. I took them because I trusted what the doctor said. They gave me AWFUL side effects. So, I went to campus care on OU campus about the side effects I was getting from the antibiotics. Only then did I discover that the UTI test CAME BACK NEGATIVE. I LITERALLY NEVER HAD A UTI BUT THEY GAVE ME MEDICINE FOR IT AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT ANYWAYS. I was furious when I found out. But oh wait there's more. I have a very serious chronic pain disease in my left leg called CRPS, I have had to explain to the doctors in there every single time I go what CRPS is. A DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW. So, a couple of months ago I sprained my left ankle. Since this chronic pain disease is in my left leg, the pain was horrific. I go to the ER and they actually got me back to a room kind of fast, then the doctor took at least an hour to come back and tell me that my ankle was sprained after looking at x-rays. I was in obvious pain, I had tears flowing down my face. So he asked if I wanted something for the pain (keep in mind I absolutely hate pain killers I will only take them very rarely if I'm in unbearable pain) so I said yes. He told me he would be right back. HE NEVER CAME BACK. I was laying there in agony for almost 2 more hours before I stopped a nurse passing by and tried to explain to her that the doctor said he was going to bring me something for the pain but never came back. She then proceeded to go up to another doctor and tell him that I was acting weird and that I was demanding pain killers she said "why does she want it so bad?" BECAUSE I'M IN AGONIZING PAIN. Ever think of that? It's not like I was asking for a prescription. I was asking for one single pill. They could have given me a Tylenol extra strength and j wouldn't have cared. I just needed something I couldn't lay there in that much pain any longer. My doctor never came back either. I had to ask a different doctor to discharge me. Honestly, if it's not a super urgent problem/emergency, do yourself a favor and just drive to Columbus or even Lancaster to get far better medical care. O'Bleness is a joke.
