I went to Piedmont Mountainside ER to get checked out for a possible heart attack. I was promptly…read moretaken in, EKG was done immediately, Dr. King came in and said EKG did not indicate a heart attack. I was then taken for a head CT scan to rule out possible stroke. No sign of stroke. Chest x-ray was normal. Lots of bloodwork was done. Dr. King came in and said he wanted to admit me for an MRI which meant transferring me to Piedmont Jasper. I declined this advice saying that I didn't want to stay in Jasper hospital overnight and that I would go the next day for a walk in MRI. He said he'd have the nurse come back in and have me sign a refusal to be treated form. He then said to me "I don't think you're drunk, you don't seem drunk" which totally floored me why he would say that. I then asked him about my bloodwork and he said "we've had two critical patients come in since you, I haven't had time to look at your bloodwork, my shift is up, and you can see your results on My Chart". Nothing was done for me, the nurse came in and I was out of there in 5 minutes. It was like the minute I refused to be transferred to Jasper they just washed their hands of me. I followed up with my primary care doctor the next day and a lot of things were off in my bloodwork. Very low sodium, kidney functions way off, BUN and creatinine off. She was stunned that the ER didn't address my bloodwork. Never going to a Piedmont facility again. I would have left a zero star rating but one star is the lowest one can give.

We have billions of tax payer money flowing through our hospitals each year. We have thousands of…read moreindividuals paying into these hospitals. Yet we have hospitals like Piedmont in ellijay.where people are sitting in a chair for hours at a time. It doesn't matter how sick or how bad you are hurting you will have to wait hours in a waiting room with absolutely no help until they have room for you. I wonder if the CEO of the hospital gets the same treatment as the helpless masses that flock there for help. And you might get it or you might not. If you want quality health care you will have to get out of Ellijay. The urgent care by waffle House is a cesspool. We need some leadership around here so inocent people won't have to suffer so long. If piedmont can't handle the job it's time to bring in someone who can. If you're in need of emergency help get out of ellijay. Piedmont has become a free clinic in a third world country. It's time we realize that we don't work for these hospitals,they work for us. If you don't have room for me then let's do an audit and see where all this money is going. It's time to take your health back gilmer county.
