Kim Barrett Review of SSM St Joseph Health Center
I had an allergic reaction to something and was go...
I had an allergic reaction to something and was going in to anaphylactic shock so the ambulance took me to St. Joseph per my request
The ER staff was horrible they were talking loudly about a patient that had to have his socks removed and how gross it was, a female staff asked about maggots, another voice said at least the maggots would have cleaned them up
The physician that gave me a choice to go home or stay told me those were my only options and didn t have a third one(like maybe a classier hospital) my mouth still swollen that it split, tongue still swollen, none of the medications were working. I expressed my fear of going back in to shock, shift change as I heard the ER nurse telling someone on the phone that I WANTED to stay... because Everyone WANTS to STAY in the hospital
New Doctor explained that I can have one dose of steroids because the damage is done and that s the final option. They found a room, Put the steroids in my IV, Melanie, my night nurse was a blessing. So kind and caring and so was the tech. Checking on me ever so quietly and the steroids soaked the bedding my gown and hair I didn t know what was going on until she explained the steroid reaction and quietly changed bedding my gown and towels for my drenched hair
Shift change
Satan walked in, wanted me out, gave me a few medications and when I asked what they were she said I already told you, the Doctor will be in she left then the guy came in to give me my asthma inhaler after that, Satan kept walking in asking ME if THEIR Dr has shown up or NOT, I was afraid to ask for water. When the Doctor arrived he asked me if I was ok to leave (at which point I would rather be at a VETERINARIAN) I said yes. That all happened last Thursday. It s been 6 days and I m still not well but I d rather die with bleeding lips and welts all over my body than EVER return to that place. They don t deserve Melanie.
MOBAP and Barnes for me. Any hospital that isn t SSM. I still look like someone beat me up, I m still itchy and swollen with hives.
MOBAP will help me tomorrow
