ROB WOODS Review of Borgess Health
Surely have gone down hill. Was recently in Borges...
Surely have gone down hill. Was recently in Borgess for chest pain and stomach pain ( March 21-23). They kept me to do stress test. They couldn't seem to get my meds right. The 23rd, they said my test was fine and they where sending me home. Told me to follow up with my cardiologist the next week. On the 24th they called me at home and to tell me they found something on my stress test results. Come to find out they never had a cardiologist look at the results before they sent me home. They told me I should see me my cardiologist as soon as possible. I couldn't get an appointment with cardiologist till Wednesday, and was still having chest pains. So I went back in on the 25th. They kept me to do a heart catherization the next day. Again couldn't seem to get my meds right.
They did the procedure on the 26th, and told me that they had not found any thing of major concern. During either visit, they never addressed my complaints of stomach pain, even after telling them several times that it hurt. All diagnosis seemed to be focused on the chest pain. In fact, every time I mentioned it, my complaints seemed to be ignored. So I guess I'm left to find out what's wrong with my stomach pain on my own. They sent me home and told me to follow up with my cardiologist, and if I had any more chest pain to come back. They told me I could go back to work on the 29th. I ask for a work release more from the Doctor. They gave me a return to work note, it said " avoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks ". My work would not accept it, they wanted a definition of strenuous. I looked through my discharge papers and there was no information on after procedure Care or restrictions. So I called the hospital twice trying get to a list of restrictions for my work. I've spent almost 2 days waiting, they finally told me I had to ask my cardiologist. Even though it was a hospital doctor that gave me the release note. I now have to wait for my cardiologists assistant to call me back, ( and I know what she'll say, we can't give you that info without seeing you). I'm not very happy, I can not return to work with out it. I go to Borgess because Bronson in Battle Creek SUCKS !!!!!!!!. But over this last week, I'm beginning to wonder if the extra travel time is worth it. Over all I'm extremely disappointed with my last visit to Borgess, and at this point not sure if I'll ever go back to this hospital.
