My doctor told me to go to ER after blood test results repeatedly shows elevated levels. I have been having deteriation of all health since 2009 and the LBJ ER staff was abusive. They refused to allow my husband to stay and so i had no advocate. My nurse was talking bad about me in hearing distance,sarcastic attending,refused care or even water when i spoke up! I did hear a few other patients being talked down to also...... More damage done than when i came in!!! I would rather have good healthcare and bedside manner than best facility but both are deplorable. Once admitted overnight it was NOT better. They had flushed my electrolytes further and i tried to sleep and had trouble breathing all night. The patient next to me had family that tried to tell the nurse about my night and again they DONT LISTEN!!! Nothing was logged when I discharged,my husband took me home the next morning.
I try to study and figure how to treat my self at home.(my college books are a little helpful) This has been very difficult because i think i have an infection in gallbladder or that area based on test results. Might need surgery but you could guess i never want to go to the ER again. .........I had 2 quit my job because of health and thank God my husband has a job. I still have to pay "deductibles" like its insurance but get no healthcare.
