It was my first visit at the naval medical center ...

It was my first visit at the naval medical center on Friday the 15 of 2017. I went to the ER for severe abdominal pain while pregnant. My visit started at 7pm and was out of there at 2am. My first experience at the naval medical center has been traumatizing. First, I got blood drawn and was left with a botched IV and while it taped on it was pressing into my muscle so much so that I forgot about my abdominal pain. I told the corpsman that the pain was 10 and wanted to get taken out. She never came back. I asked my husband to get someone to get the IV out before he pulled it out. The doctor was able to come in and remove it. The doctor ordered an ultra sound in radiology. He did estimate about an hour, which was ok. We waited two hours for the tech to give us the order to come up and get the ultra sound. A corpsman was able to take us to the radiology and as he knocked on the door she had just woken up. While getting the ultrasound she was yawning and her eyes were very low. I went back down to the ER and waited for another hour and a half for the results. At this time, I asked to be discharged because I was already there for 6 hours and mentally tired and feeling well. After the 7 hours total a new doctor, I didn't know the old doctor left, came in and explained my results which came back normal and couldn't tell me what was wrong. This has honestly been the worst experience I've ever had and I will never go back to the emergency room at NMCSD.
