Even if I am critically ill or dying, I will NOT be a patient at this hospital again
Overall experience:
1. One employee thought he could use my medical sensitivity against me. Dousing himself in unpleasant cologne and frequently inventing tasks in order to re- enter my hospital room.
2. I am certain I was intentionally given unsanitary water to drink with medications by an emergency room employee. Short male with dark hair.
3. Despite treating staff considerately, SOME emergency room personnel gave off the intense impression that they were most invested in antagonizing patients; as opposed to conducting themselves like sincere, considerate, medical employees.
4.The same male who provided the unsanitary drink, stalled and hesitated to provide me with a copy of the discharge document I signed; with the time and date on it. He hoped I would leave with the B L A N K copy of the discharge paper work I specifically requested (absent of critical information! Like my signature, and the date I was seen!). NOT all the emergency room staff were so blatantly unethical/unprofessional. Yet this behavior, on their part, Is largely CONDONED by most of the other staff as. I am NOT surprised by the hospital working adults, who behaved so immorally and without maturity towards me. I documented my visit.
For the those who did not participate in such behavior, thank you.
I am EXTREMELY grateful, since this final mainstream medical experience has SOLIDIFIED the importance + GREATER EFFICACY of CONSISTENT SELF CARE and OPTIONS in terms of health care - related measures; in MOST cases!
I will NOT be back!
Details:
On Tuesday 08.04.2020, Due to a sensitivity to some chemicals in most fragrances, I was ambulanced to UConn after an outside physical therapist, wore an unethical amount of fragrance to go visit my elderly client.
On 08.04.2020, The last place I desired to be, was at a hospital. I did not want to go to the hospital. Due to the severity of the reactions I was having; it was recommended, by well intentioned health care professionals; that I go immediately to the hospital.
The vibe (behavior + spirit of employees) was weird from the very beginning, which didn t surprise me. As is usually the case with ambulance rides and hospitals. My blood pressure was checked inside the ambulance (what felt like 30 times) + my blood sugar was taken though I verbally expressed that am not diabetic. I was told it was standard procedure in transporting critical care patients.
Upon arrival (+prior to arrival) the hospital, staff on the emergency unit had been made aware that I was entering the hospital, due to a sensitivity to chemicals in most fragrances. Despite that, some of the staff took pleasure in dousing themselves in fragrance and creating reasons to continuously walk by me; on multiple occasions (while I was inside and waiting outside of the hospital). I believe I was the only patient on the emergency unit on this occasions.. I didn t see any other patients on the ER unit on this day.
One UCONN emergency unit, staff member, (the one in the picture) entered the room to take my blood pressure. Left the room, then re-entered the room, Freshly doused in an odorous cologne + a smirk on hi face; attempting to re-take my blood pressure. I ordered him to leave the room, as it wasn t difficult to see his intentions were to intensify the reactions I was having. Average height male, pale, blonde with blue eyes.
If this is what the community is willing to put up with, then their future is bright!
