Review of Palisade Medical Ctr

Worst experience Ever. After being rushed to ER.

Worst experience Ever. After being rushed to ER.
I was left waiting for hours in agonizing pain tremors and fever before treatment. During Several hours in ER- I was overdosed me with morphine after I told the three doctors ( med students and doctors) hovering over me my heartbeat was beating out of my chest I felt sick and faint one of the young ladies stated you ll be fine and laughed. After my rapid heart beat and overdose I refused the 3rd dose of morphine the ER doctor came to me and insisted I take it it repeatedly. Medications seems to be pushed on my body without my consent. Then I had
Mr. D. Rotoli assign to me with an air of arrogant superiority he repeatedly told me and I quote I was free to do whatever I wanted outside the hospital implying that I have somehow lost all rights to my medical care In this Hospital; and I am to do what I m told. He continued to argue with me regarding my decision to follow the surgical dr. advice to wait for infection and swelling to get under control before preforming appendix surgery. D. Rotoli stated He (his fellow doctor) can t do that you Need emergency surgery Now. his disapproval and dislike of his fellow doctors from the surgical team was unprofessional and shocking to me. His disagreement or personal issues with other Doctors on staff is of little interest to me as my only concern was the diagnosis and treatment of my body. I had no confidence in Mr. Rotoli unprofessional and immature manner in which he openly displayed to me. During his daily visits while my stay in the hospital Mr. Rotoli demeaning insults continued with my choices of vegan lifestyle and clean living. When one of the 2 antibiotics given to me was causing unpleasant migraines and nausea Mr. Rotoli dismissed my concerns and continued to prescribe the same antibiotics. On fourth night I was ready for discharge with clear plan for Monday morning by the surgical doctor. Mr. Rotoli visit me Sunday night and insisted I be discharged & leave on Sunday night due to fact that I was following other doctors orders and not his medical order for both antibiotics. At this point I had lost all confidence in Mr. Rotoli judgement as to my medical care. I told him that I had to contact a family member around 8 pm to pick me up. Mr. Rotoli wrote his scripts and discharged me Sunday night.
