    I wrote a review but don't see it so will write another one. Bear in mind that what they resolved…read morewas an ongoing issue. I had been treated with antibiotics at home but the issue had not resolved and my blood pressure was doing some scary stuff. They admitted me with cellulitis and sepsis and treated me like a queen. For the first time in years I can see my legs without edema and just want to say thank you. Special recognition only because I can remember their names because everyone was so kind. Dr. Lacombe, Chris in physical therapy, student nurse arnaud, nurse Angela and the outstanding dietary staff, their food rivaled a five star restaurant I am a foodie so that is saying a lot.

    I went into anaphylactic shock in Mississippi and was treated. I came back to Jennings and…read moreexperienced a flare up that my medicine wasn't combating. They made me wait in the lobby for quite a while considering my face and throat were actively swelling up. When the doctor came and asked what was wrong, I told him about my swelling and heat and itching and joint, muscle and back pain which I attributed to the anaphylaxis. He looked at my face and told me that he didn't see any swelling in my face and that my eyelids were flat like his, that my eyes weren't swollen shut so I wasn't swelling. I turned to my Caucasian friends who came with me and asked her to pull up a picture of what I normally look like. He left without looking at the picture. They eventually gave me a steroid shot and benadryl and I felt immediately better. Too bad it took nearly 2 hours. They told me my abdominal pain was probably from a cyst on my ovary but I know what that feels like and I was having dull generalized pain across my entire abdomen. This is by far not my first bad experience. They usually treat me like I'm drug seeking instead of treating an anaphylactic reacting with the urgency it deserves even if it's just a residual reaction. This was luckily not as bad as the attack in Mississippi. Especially people of color are better off going to a facility that will listen and believe you rather than believing you want drugs and are exaggerating before even doing any tests and having the evidence in front of them. As I left they said that if I think I'm going to die, too use my epipen in what I took as a sarcastic tone. I tried urgent care first but the symptoms were progressing fast enough that I didn't want to risk my health further. I should have stayed at urgent care.
