Unfortunately, my patient is already in the ER as we speak. I sent her to the ED for a fever of 103.1 and the worst headache of her life . She got vitals taken and 3hrs later (temp now 104F) no one had attended to her. I reached out in frustration and was told by a rude nurse and attending physician that I was being demanding and that the patient was being monitored and was triaged based on Acuity. This was false because you do not leave a patient with a fever that high and the worst headache of her life for hours. Was hoping the Attending would hear the urgency in my voice but she instead took it as a demand and said I was yelling, which really wasn t the case. So far I ve read horrible reviews about the ED and I must say they are living up to their name. Too bad I can t give this hospital a ZERO!
