Review of Texas Regional Medical Center ...

I am in the medical field. It was my first time to every go to an emergency room. It was terrible. I was experiencing abdominal pain. The check in people were great. Once I got to the back and checked in by the nurse. I was saw by a nurse practitioner who was very unprofessional. I waited for an hour and half. No one came to check on me. I finally got dressed saw my nurse and told her to come pull my IV that I was leaving. I began to cry because of the pain I was experiencing, she apologized because they were busy. She finally got me to radiology. The radiology tech was awesome. Finally, the nurse practitioner came back to tell me it was probably a ruptured cyst and oh by the way you have a lesion on on a bone it may or may not be cancerous, you should probably get that checked out. I asked for the radiology report to take To take to my internist , he said no ask medical records. Then he left. He was uncaring and very unprofessional. I have always taught my trainees to treat patients like they would want their family members treated. I will not ever recommend this ER to anyone. I should have also been seen by an MD. You don't tell someone they have a lesion that may or may not be cancerous and send them on their way. This is bad patient care.
