Review of Wake Med North

Well I've been to the ER all throughout my pregnan...

Well I've been to the ER all throughout my pregnancy because I was very sick. They were all great untill tonight.

We come here for post op surgery pain for my husband and after asking the doctor some questions we get our heads ripped off.
Husband showed signs of sepsis ( fever, high white blood count, nausea, pain and fainting) only for them to do a 3 day test for sepsis, instead of the blood test for results that night. My aunt who has been an ER nurse for over 30 years asks the doctor why he wouldnt run the immediate test. Only for him to chew her out. Then proceeds to chew me and my husband out. Smart remarks and rude comments left and right. We asked if he would be put on a broad spectrum antibiotic to cover what could be a post op infection (high fever and elevated white blood count) he then proceed to chew us out again. Never ever have I ever been treated so poorly by someone ever. The doctor wasn't even going to call my husbands surgeon to tell him he was in the hospital with post op complications till I asked him too. Wanna guess how that turned out? Yup proceeds to stand like a 13 year old girl, puts one hand on his hip and makes rude remarks. I am disgusted with the lack of professionalism from this doctor. I hope no one has to encounter him here because all the other doctors I've seen have been great.

To top it all off. The nurse comes in with discharge papers and says "well the fever and elevated white blood count could be signs of an infection or sepsis but we won't know for another 2 days or if your fever gets worse"
So we left with with them knowing he could possibly have an infection and instead of doing more blood work to narrow it down or do the blood test for sepsis they just sent him home
