This hospital was a+ at one time but now unfortuna...

This hospital was a+ at one time but now unfortunately they don't care about the kind of care u get. I went in for severe back pain after 19 yes 19 back surgeries (12 ) that were performed there while being triaged the nurse Ben rolled his eyes and looked out the window the whole time I was describing my pain and letting him know I was just diagnosed with epilepsy. They attempted to fast track me while my blood pressure was 172/134 the nurse or dr gave no concern to this they attempted to give me an x-ray with no pain meds. Then the nurse came in with a Norco it was a joke like that would touch my pain. After my husband contacted Paul Garcia who is head of ER they moved me to the back where they finally got the pain under control after 3 hours. Sadly 2 weeks later I had to return again to the same hospital because my orthopedic surgeon works out of that hospital.i returned due to me hitting my tailbone (that has been broken 2 times already) against the spout in the shower my blood pressure was 177/119 the first time and 162/139 minutes later. I waited in the waiting room for 1 hour after being triaged with these numbers the Dr's didn't seem to care. Once I got to the back my nurse Anne came in hooked me up to the blood pressure machine and it was 190/153 the machine was buzzing making all kinds of noise for at least 10 minutes while I was ignored. The dr finally came in 45 minutes after I was put in a bed and after my husband called the er charge nurse because my daughter was scared I would have a seizure or a stroke with that high of blood pressure she called her dad at work. Suzie the x-ray tech was the only kind and gentle person I had that day. Dr Rico and his PA were as rude as possible. Both my experiences there I felt like Noone cared and very prejudiced against and made to be felt like only a drug seeker I'm sorry ur blood pressure explains it all and that is something u can't fake my pain was real but no one cared about my pain or wellbeing needless to say I will not b going back there
