Took my 18 year old son to the ER after Urgent Car...
Took my 18 year old son to the ER after Urgent Care told us to go to ER because my son was 1. having an allergic reaction to something. Rash, throwing up, fever, and doubling over in pain because right side of his stomach hurt so bad.
Took him to ER. They treat him with another steroid treatment (Urgent care already gave him) Pepcid, and gave him a CT scan. One hour later Nurse comes in, gives him breathing treatment, of course while running in and out the room to help another patient. My son is still in pain, they give him nothing. Finally I get another nurse, tell them he needs something for pain. Doctor comes in asks "why is it hurting? your scan came back normal" Then says she will get him some Tylenol. 45 minutes I grab another nurse to get the tylenol, she brings it, says doctor signed off on discharge and to wait. 45 minutes later, Me and my son go to the front to get the hell out of there, and a nurse says we can't go until they take the IV out of his arm, so I tell them to do it already. Go out to waiting room, Same pregnant girl that was in pain 3 hours before with spotting and fever, she is still in the waiting room, never called to go back to see a doctor. She walked out, said she was going to another ER. Can you believe it. I will never take my son there again!!!!!!!! Treating my son like nothing is wrong while he is doubled over in pain. Not treating a pregnant woman. UNBELIEVEABLE. AND IT WAS NOT A BUSY NIGHT BY FAR. found my doctors and nurses just sitting around the nurses stations while people were needing them. just crazy we pay all this insurance and get charged outrageous for some damn Tylenol. My son is still in pain, and guarantee he won't go there today!!!!!
