My bf went in feeling faint which is very unusual for him. He end up having a seizure in the lobby and complained of chest pain. Said it felt as if his heart was hurting, as well as his temple. They never referred to him having a seizure only as him fainting. They didn't give him an ekg or an eeg and said they didn't want to give him a cat scan and expose him to unnecessary radiation, as they thought he was too young to be having a stroke. I even asked later on if they'd run a test on brain activity and they said no. In the lobby it's just the security with you and everyone else is behind closed doors.

After the security knocked on the door and told them he had a seizure, when we went in the back the nurses were joking about "no more security diagnoses". Which at first I paid no attention to and didn't realize was said towards our situation. My bf with his eyes open was spasming with his whole body his left arm curled up to his chest and kind of snapped out of it when I ran to lean him back off of my son, yet they never asked exactly what happened or how he was twitching or to describe his movements.

They released him for dehydration but upon coming home we realized he had a huge red spot on his back, which was never checked. ( Now he did complained of his side hurting but didn't specify it was the back). We don't know if it's a bruise, rash or what. Granted we were in there for only about 4 hrs, which I thought we'd be there for days at least. Its been a total of 24 hrs and my bf does feel way better than before but his dizziness is coming back, and his heart is still hurting. It never went away. We are definitely going to see his Dr today if not go to another hospital for care if he gets worse.

Now the Dr and nurses did seem nice. They werent rude. They did have him go to the back and immediately hook him up to check his vitals but i think they could have ran more test on him. Maybe perhaps physically escort him to the back and not have him walk alone in case he fainted or had another seizure. I thought anytime you have a seizure or complain of heart/chest pain certain test are just automatic. I think if we ever have another emergency we will try our efforts to go to a different hospital no matter the extra mileage.

Just think it's kind of rude to joke about "no more security diagnoses" when the security and the other patients were the only witnesses of what actually happened. Not to mention since it's an emergency room maybe you should atleast have your blinds open to see what emergencies your patients could be having.
