Very disappointed in our care and treatment of our 25 year old son. He could have been given a simple blood test for pancreatitis upon arrival instead of being given Prozac, pepto bismol and treatment for upset stomach and pushed aside for weeks! The nurse treated him terrible as he would call every few days still in pain. His calls for help were pushed aside and when I went in with my son to talk to the nurse she walked out of the room when we were asking for some answers to some questions regarding blood tests. I ve never been treated so unprofessionally. I asked if he could be admitted to st Vincent to get tests done quicker and she told us he wasn t sick enough and would not be admitted to St Vincent, she actually looked at him and asked if he had a fever? We immediately left and went to Deaconess ER because my son was doubled over in pain this whole time. Upon arriving at Deaconess the ER immediately admitted him, gave him pain meds and ultimately found a stone blocking his pancreatic duct. The icing on the cake with this group is that we received a letter in the mail from Dr. Kahn saying Kyle has pancreatitis and to quit smoking and drinking and keep his regular appointment! We were never taken seriously.
