My son was treated in the ER for a laceration on his leg. The doctor who stitched it done a VERY poor job doing so and failed to give him antibiotics even after I explained to her that I was not sure what he had gotten cut on. He also had a piece of something hanging out of his leg which she cut off and to this day I have no idea what it was but he does have some numbness in that area now. The cut became infected and he had to be put on 3 different antibiotics to clear it up. It then developed a fungus which his family doctor said came from being on the antibiotics for such a long time. As soon as the stitches were removed the cut opened back up on one side because it was so poorly stitched in the ER. Due to the wound opening up again my son have to have a debridement done which put him going thru all the pain all over again as his family doctor had to give him mulitple shots to deaden the area and take a razor blade and scrape the area out. He now has to go to his doctor everyday for up to 2 weeks to have it repacked and dressed. I absolutely would not go back to this hospital again and encourage others who seek better treatement to do the same. I would like to see this doctor lose her license so that she can't give another person the same sorry treatment but so far all I have been able to do is file a grievence with GMH which hasn't done any good. All I have been told thus far is that they are sorry we had a bad experience there and to have a nice day. I wish the whole hospital had to be shut down and a whole new better trained staff brought in to replace tose who apparently don't care. I STRONGLY ADVISE SEEKING YOUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!
