Worst experience in a medical environment I ve eve...

Worst experience in a medical environment I ve ever had. Doctors/nurses were extremely rude and seemingly unconcerned. I came in to the ER to get wound care on my hand for a procedure I had had the day before; upon arrival, the doctor rips the packing out of my wound without even asking what happened. After I suggested I didn t need IV antibiotics due to the fact that I wasn t in pain and had already taken all antibiotics that I d been prescribed for the day, the doctor angrily stormed in my room and asked, buddy what did you come here for if you re not gonna let us treat you? After this, I asked the doctor if he could at least disinfect, repack, and rewrap the wound. He then refused to repack it (after he ripped out the packing), didn t use disinfectant, and rewrapped my hand without putting a bandage under the gauze (which lead to the gauze being stuck to my wound when the real doctor who treated me the next day removed my wrapping). One final detail: when wrapping my hand, the doctor used one piece of tape to hold together the wrapping. I asked him to apply at least one more strip of tape so it was tighter and more comfortable; at this point, he hands me the tape and says, do it yourself since you know more than all of us?
