This was the worst ER visit I ever had. I went in with horrible abdominal pain. The only staff member that did a good job was my night nurse. My night doctor only came in once, my day doctor was horrible at explaining stuff, and my day nurse took up to 45 minutes to respond to the button. We had to remind the day nurse twice to retrieve the urine sample. They only did a blood test, urine test, and ultra sound. They claimed they would check the appendix, gallbladder, and pancreas. They took 7 hours to get the ultra sound results back. They claimed they didnt know what it was and blamed it on a stomach flu and to come back if I have something burst. 2 days later, i had increased pain and instead went to Honor Health Deer Valley. They did a CT scan (which Banner could have easily done) and within an hour told me I had appendicitis and gave me an appendectomy the next day. We looked at the documentation given by Banner (which the nurse forgot to give us some of the documents we found out later on), and they hadn't even checked the appendix. They saw that I had infection due to white blood cell count, but didnt put me on any antibiotics. They only prescribed me antacids and tylenol. They also gave me omeprazole without first testing if it was H. Pylori, which the omeprazole would have made it hard to test if I had that, luckily I didnt. They sent me home in a condition that my appendix could have burst and I could have gone septic, without seeming to care at all. I wouldnt recommend this hospital to my worst enemy.
