I went to ER for dizziness, I had been having problems with low blood pressure, and low potassium…read more I was called back in a timely manner. I was put in a waiting area that had 4 sick patients,veith IV bags, hanging on coat hangers on the wall. I asked were the out of rooms or iv poles, the nurse said that's just how the do it. I pointed out the dusty hooks, possible cross contamination. The second nurse took me in a small lab, I was suffering vertical, I had problems walking any distance. I vomited a couple of times. I told her I have to sit. She got me a wheelchair. After the lab I took was given a IV, and hung on back. No name on the bag, no sign off, nothing. I was low on potassium, unfortunately I got a full bag of fluids when I realized, the bag was not what I should have gotten. I never saw a dr, never examined, never knew what the plan of care was, after 5 hrs, I was offered some potassium pills, and a anti nausea pill, I already had the generic pill ondansetron, same med, and potassium pills. I am a retired health care professional, 45 years, a radiology technologist. I have never seen such disregard for privacy, no protection from cross infections. I told the check in nurse I needed to lie down, I was left in this room for hours. Sitting in a chair, I told her I hadn't seen a dr, she said it was the minor injury ward/area, and this is how it's done. Because I had taken a time relief anti nausea pill, I didn't want to be over medicated, zofram was generic ondansetron, I didn't want a double dose of potassium, it upsets my stomach, again I asked about seeing a dr, to ask why I was still feeling sick or what my potassium was still low, i was told I would get X-rays, but never did, get vitals to check orthostatic, never did, the had another PT who had a name close to mine, she came a few hours after me, but I never got a plan of care or saw a provider. I'm quite certain when my Medicare or military tri,-care gets billed they will leave out no bed, no potassium, no provider, how can they get away with this less than optimal care.
