David Jones Review of Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medic...
Emergency room was almost a self serve. Arrived in...
Emergency room was almost a self serve. Arrived in evening 7:30 Jan 13, 2016. I had a BP of 178/110, lightheadedness, chest and abdominal pain.
The first priority was not to stabilize, it was to get patient information (for billing purposes). First paperwork taking about 15 minutes, then I sat in waiting room, brought back for EKG, then told to sit in waiting room, then back again for Blood Pressure reading, back to waiting room for 10 minutes...
Finally, escorted to emergency room.
The ER nurse Matt, was excellent. In fact I believe he was calling the shots for the doctor. However, it took 9 hours before the decision was made to admit me, 4:15am. So glad it turned out not to be life threatening.
After a day and a half of inpatient, I realized they did not have a plan of treatment. I was seen by four different doctors during that time.
Finally, I was told that I had abdominal blockage with enlarged prostate. They said I would need a bag and catheter administered and then do an outpatient follow up.
I said NO. Then told either I do the procedure or sign out AMA. (Blackmail???)
Well I signed out.
If I could give this a negative 5 stars I would.
