Within an hour of my conversation, I received a message from the CDC indicating I was "due for a booster". Very disconcerting that they didn't get this very important information correct!

We received excellent care and were treated with the upmost care, concern and respect. They deserve a 5 star rating and we 100% recommend them to anyone looking for top notch care.

Something went wrong with my back on a Friday night, much worse than anything I've experienced…read morebefore, so I called my husband home from work to take me to the emergency room. As soon as I walked through the door, the four foot tall security guard TOLD me - didn't ASK - she was going through my bag, because I suppose the "weapons detection" unit I walked through 10 seconds prior wasn't good enough. I had a small drawstring bag with me that had my wallet, my kindle, my headphones, and my knitting in it; because this isn't my first rodeo. She took my scissors. No, they're not tiny, but still...I said "seriously?! All I do is cut yarn with them...you see my knitting in there." and she proceeded to hold them up like Michael Meyers and said "these are a weapon! I'll give them back when you leave." When my husband came in from parking, I told him and he got them back and took them to the truck. Check in would've been a little better if there hadn't been a flock of 6 standing there taking to all the people they knew that worked there, but eventually I got up there. I couldn't really sit so I stood off to the side, out of the way, until I got called into triage. They asked for the rundown and took my vitals, I offered up my medical history - which is pretty extensive and pertenant to the issue, but they said they can't take that yet, and told me to wait there because a practitioner was coming to see me. I'm going to note here that I have zero records in this medical system. This was my first medical visit in NC, since moving from Virginia. I'm going to say here that I never saw a single person that was more than an RN. The nurses and techs I dealt with were all super nice, but there's issues with the system. Eventually they sent me back to the waiting room where I waited about an hour before radiology came and got me for an X-ray, after which I was sent back to the waiting room. Then, I was called back to the triage room where they handed me a 500mg Tylenol, a lidocaine patch, and tried to give me what she said was a muscle relaxer via injection. I turned down the injection because I'd never heard of that muscle relaxer, I'm really not supposed to take muscle relaxers because of my illness, and the muscles weren't the problem anyway - this is clearly something in the spine and nerves. They NEVER asked me if I had taken any mediations prior to coming to the hospital. Back to the waiting room. I waited about a half hour, maybe 45 minutes and finally get taken to a room, where I was handed a gown and told to take off my top. After that, the nurse came back and asked for the rundown again and what had been done so far. She asked why I turned down the *steroid* injection, and I informed her I was told it was a muscle relaxer and I'd never heard of it so I didn't want it. She told me the name of it again (correctly, the same as the last nurse had said) and said "no, that's a steroid, not a muscle relaxer". Still, no medical history taken. She said something about maybe other tests being done, which I was fine with because I don't play when it comes to my spine, but that ER was clearly overwhelmed and I lost a lot of confidence in the fact that I was sitting there, as an Ehlers-Danlos patient, with a back injury, but nobody wanted to hear it. Nobody was willing to take the extensive, pertinent medical history, nobody cared if I'd taken meds before I came. Nobody asked if I took anything with acetaminophen prior to coming - which I had. I took a dose of Excedrine (which is also 500mgs of acetaminophen) only a couple hours prior, so no, I shouldn't have taken the Tylenol, but I just wanted the pain to stop! At this point, I'd lost all faith in this place. My toddler was exhausted, and I was in more pain sitting on the uncomfortable bed than I would've been suffering at home. I already know there's a war on treating pain so I figured that Tylenol was the best I was going to get. I live with chronic pain every single day; what's a little more, right? So I walked out and asked the nurse for AMA papers, and I left, despite how hard she was trying to get me to stay - out of genuine concern, I will add; not to just be naggy. She seemed very worried, and I promised her I'd come back or seek out a doctor soon. I'm very well versed in medicine, and how things are different for patients with my illness. I know it's a rare disease, and one not everyone knows much about. But when you have an EDS patient come in with an injury, you can't just blow them off, especially when it's spinal. EDS patients have to know about their disease because medical staff doesn't. That doesn't make us know-it-alls, it keeps us alive. But it also, unfortunately, makes us very aware of a medical system's flaws and shortcomings. Caromont has a lot.
