If you can go elsewhere, like the hospital in Oak Ridge, that's what I'd recommend.
If you can't fix a simple swollen of an SWOLLEN leg from hurting it while exercising, they darn can't fix anything more complicated
I'll shorten this as I wrote to the head honcho there the other day.
. Given expensive testing which included xrays and ultrasound.
. The triage nurse was aware as well as all these people in the respective areas that I wanted a shot or medicine to bring down the swelling.
. Waited 4 hours with one of the nurse or whoever she was, just took off while taking my bp and I had to yell over down the aisle to get someone to remove it. No word where or why she was going and when she would be back.
.They were quick to push me out the door when all the testing was done and results. However, my issue wasn't addressed as I WANTED SOMETHING TO BRING DOWN THE SWELLING. I was told to take OTC medicine. Say, friggin' what? I protested and the nurse RELUCTANTLY says, "Well, I'll give you Motrin .., whatever the prescription version of it was.
Being truly worn down and super tired and in pain, I just got my behind out the door and if I had my hubby with me, he would have raised holy cane. THEY CAN GIVE DRUG ADDICTS ALL KINDS OF DRUGS AND WHATNOT, BUT A LAW ABIDING 69 YEAR OLD WITH NO MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES, THEY GIVE ME FRIGGIN' GRIEF? Oh no, NOT on my watch!
Please people, if you hate someone, then by all means, take them here. If you have the least bit of sympathy for someone, suggest they go elsewhere.
PS I can ONLY imagine that they installed a new cardiac unit. OMG...I feel sorry for that person who goes there with an issue. read more
