Went in to ER with chest pain. Nurses were great and caring. NP for the Cardiac Department came in to examine me and downplayed my symptoms and said we all have to die of something then he chuckled! And in this time of COVID, this same person shoved his bare hand in mine to shake hands with me. No COVID protocol at all from him. I was told I was being kept overnight for observation and a heart scan in the morning. When I was finally taken to a room it was a part of the hospital the transport girl had never even heard of or been to. It was called an overflow room that was the size of a closet with no bathroom or sink to brush my teeth in. I felt forgotten and dumped in a closet. I asked if it was because of COVID that they were short of space and was told no that COVID cases had dropped dramatically . I pay a premium to be blessed with great health insurance yet still got unacceptable treatment at this hospital. Go anywhere but Atrium in Pineville!
