I went in with extreme pain, passing a kidney stone. Blood pressure was extremely high due to the pain. When I arrived the person at the desk was very quick and told me someone would be out to get me. After a wait of about 25 minutes (with extreme pain and vomiting) I was taken back to triage. FINALLY, I thought I was going to get some help, NOPE! They put me in a waiting area out side the triage room and told me they were cleaning a room for me. Okay how long can that take? Another 25 to 30 minutes later, with unbearable pain, I asked how long it would be before I could see a doctor and the nurse told me she didn t know. At that time I told her to get me an ambulance to TRUMAN VA. (Trust me, I would have been seen sooner and treated a whole lot better at VA.). This nurse told me she would talk to the Charge Nurse and about 5 minutes later I had a room. On the way to the room I asked how long it would be before I could see the doctor, the nurse went through a list of things that has to be done before I could see a doctor and get something for the pain.

By this time all the nurses have extreme attitudes with me because I wasn t happy with the treatment. I was treated like an uneducated, lower class ignorant patient, who was interrupting them.

Soon after I got into my room the doctor did come in. He was the only good part of the visit. HE WAS PHENOMENAL AND I MEAN PHENOMENAL. Within minutes I had pain meds and could relax enough to get my blood pressure down.

Went to MRI AND GUESS WHAT.- it was a kidney stone. I wasn t drug seeking, or pretending to be in pain. It was real. Turns out I m not uneducated or ignorant. And I won t be low class enough to get out of paying the Bill for my delightful visit to this ER last night.

I m not sure who voted this hospital #1 but I promise you they will never aak me how I would vote for them.

Worst treatment ever!
