Let me start by saying that I've been to this ER 10 times, and have been admitted for a 3-5 day stay 8 times over the last 3 years. \nI have a chronic kidney condition that acts up every couple months and usually leaves me laid up for a week in excruciating pain.\n\nAfter my last 2 experiences, I will never come back to this ER EVER again, if I can help it.\n\nER review: \nWhen I first came here after my surgeries, everyone was kind, attentive, and VERY good...getting IVs was fairly painless (for getting an IV).\n\nThe second to last time I was in, I gave them my back story (chronic kidney pain, CANNOT do a CT, because I had a surgical clip left inside of me that looks like a kidney stone when a CT is done.  They have to do a renal scan).\n\nTwo hours of pain later, the radiology guy comes back to give me a CT.  \nOk fine...but can I get SOMETHING for the pain?  \"We have to give you a non-narcotic.\"  Ok fine, I know my history makes me look like a drug seeker (which I'm not).  \"Non-Narcotics trash my kidneys and make me ill.  Call my surgeon, Dr. _____.  I always get dilauded when I'm in here. 2 mg, with Zofran for the nausea.\"   \n\n\"Well we can give you morphine\"\n\n\"Can someone please look at my records?  I'm allergic.  Morphine makes me itch.  How about an asprin?  Something?  SOMETHING to take the edge off until you talk to a Doctor about getting me pain killers.\"\n\nSo they finally get me something...and I get it, you have to weed out the seekers.  I've heard them before.  But after waiting two hours, not complaining at all, not ASKING for any painkillers till that point...plus they can look up my records.\n\nNevermind the fact that it took 3 people to start my IV.  *sigh*\n\nAnyway, after all this, they give me a CT...and surprise!  \"You have a stone.\"\nme: \"No I don't, I have a surgical clip that was left inside me.  I told them this at admitting.  You have to do an ultrasound or a renal scan.\"\n\nSo they finally do and guess what...ITS A CLIP, NOT A STONE!!  *sigh*\nIdiots.  Not all of us are clueless here.\n\nSo they admit me.  Detailed hospital review to follow.  \nThe LAST time I went to the ER, I was having chest pains. \n\nThey took me right back for an EKG, which apparently was normal?  Because I sat in an empty waiting room for two hours before they brought me back for further examination.\n\nThey said \"Its not your heart.  Here, we're going to give you morphine and a nitro drip.\"\n\nme:  \"um.  What?  Why am I getting morphine?  I'm allergic.\"\n\n\"Well what do you usually get?\"\n\nMe: \"Dilauded...but I don't...\"\n\nThem (cutting me off) \"Well we don't give that for heart issues.\"\n\nMe: \"Number 1, you JUST said it wasn't my heart.  Number two...I don't WANT a pain killer, I want to know what is wrong with me.  Number three, if it isn't my heart, WHY are you giving me a nitro drip?  No.  Sorry.  I'm going home.\"  \n\nSigned out AMA.  Not that I actually GOT any medical advice, but I figured if I was going to die, I wanted to do so in my own bed.   (turns out I was just REALLY stressed.)\n\nSo...onto the Hospital stays.\n\nAgain, when I first was admitted, everyone was awesome.  \n\nThe last 2 times I was admitted was AWFUL.\n\nI had Nurses who gave me attitude, doctors prescribing blood thinner shots, and ANTIDEPRESSANTS (for a kidney issue.  Yeah...what sense does that make?)\n\nSo...Whenever I'm admitted to the hospital, I'm on dilauded for 3-4 days.  The first 2 days, I ALWAYS get sick.  ALWAYS.  Even with Zofran for nausea.  I always throw up at least once.  \n\nThe second to last time I was in, it was my first night.  I was in pain, miserable, and just got hit with a wave of nausea.  I tried to get out of bed to grab a bucket, trash can, get to the bathroom, anything, but I didn't make it, and I vomited on the floor next to my bed. So now, I'm in pain, miserable, nauseated, and embarrassed.  And the nurse gave me attitude about it.  Yes.  I vomited on the floor JUST to piss you off.\n\nThe last time I was in, I had a similar experience, I was being wheeled up to my room, and was vomiting in a bucket (sometimes you just can't help it) and the nursing staff looked absolutely disgusted.\nThis is your JOB.  To take care of people who are ill...if you have to look disgusted about a little vomit, at least walk away first.  Don't make us feel worse.\n\nI will NEVER come back here again, unless I am unconscious and have no choice.
