16 yr old daughter had a very serious case of H-pylori that her local gastro sent to SCH for post treatment healing help . After 9 months of procrastination and appt's where the Dr never showed , SCH finally said we need to get another opinion. They were convinced it was all in our heads. Child looked like death and was giving up. Local gastro was disgusted as were we . They let minors refuse treatment which is going to make things worse and it did . It was really never made clear to us who we were seeing , I thought we were seeing a gastro team and it turns out they were psychologists ..jeez my god .. Even their ER Dr there was appalled at her lack of treatment when we had to take her back one day after her sudden check out . We finally just took her home and I researched enough on google to help get her healed up the rest of the way and it was extremely tough . She is fair a year later , still HP neg but not the same . SCH had me cancel a very important scope scheduled locally because they were going to do one , after 3 months I rescheduled again locally on my own and like we thought , she had gastritis and esophagitis from the H pylori treatment Her stomach and esophagus were shredded from the treatment and it was not in our heads after all . Simply having a tough time healing . She couldn't eat or drink well at all and was in a tremendous amount of pain and we are insulted they thought all of us were crazy and I didn't appreciate her being shoved off on a herd of psychiatrists . No rx meds for home or pain management or finding out the CURRENT extent of the gastritis , they just knew it was gone w/o looking . IF you advocate for your child , all of you will be checking out shortly . Just sit and be silent if it is bad enough that you know your child needs to be there .
Upon check out they cancelled all of our follow up appts they'd made the day before at the team meeting with my husband. I used to love this hospital . Now I'll never go there again . Been a mom for 36 years and it is hard to do, but they managed to shock and disillusion me .
This was complicated & messy and you abandoned her.
