I understand that emergency…read moremedicine is demanding, stressful, and often thankless work, and I have tremendous respect for the education, discipline, and responsibility required to practice medicine. However, my family's experience with Dr. Arjun Arya during my mother's emergency room care was troubling enough that I believe it deserves to be addressed. A medical degree commands respect for the work required to earn it. It does not place a physician above the patients and families he is entrusted to care for. Throughout our interaction, Dr. Arya's demeanor toward my mother and me was, in my opinion, unnecessarily dismissive, condescending, argumentative, and egotistical. Reasonable questions were repeatedly met as though they were challenges to his knowledge or authority rather than what they actually were: a family attempting to understand and advocate for someone they love. There is an enormous difference between confidently explaining a medical decision and becoming argumentative when someone asks you to explain it. Perhaps equally concerning was the apparent assumption that because we entered the emergency room as a patient and family member, we must therefore have little or no understanding of medicine. Dr. Arya, you simply do not know who is sitting across from you. A person does not surrender his or her education, intelligence, professional experience, or credentials upon becoming a patient. Nor should a physician assume that a family member asking questions has no medical background simply because that person is standing beside the hospital bed rather than wearing a white coat. The person in front of you may be a nurse, physician, pharmacist, chiropractor, paramedic, therapist, researcher, or another healthcare professional. They may have spent decades working within the medical field. They may even possess a medical degree themselves. You simply do not know. Speaking to people as though they could not possibly comprehend the medicine being discussed is not education--it is condescension. That attitude became particularly apparent when Dr. Arya made remarks to the effect that a chiropractor is not a "real" medical professional. There are legitimate distinctions between a Doctor of Chiropractic and an M.D. or D.O., including differences in training, licensing, and scope of practice. Those distinctions can be explained professionally without belittling another licensed healthcare profession. More importantly, disparaging another profession contributed nothing to my mother's emergency medical care. It only reinforced the impression that credentials or opinions different from his own were somehow unworthy of respect. I was also deeply troubled by statements regarding certain aspects of my mother's care that, based upon the information available to us, did not appear to accurately reflect what had occurred. When someone's health is at stake, patients should be able to expect honest, accurate, and transparent communication from the physician responsible for their care. A family asking questions is not an inconvenience. A patient requesting clarification is not insubordination. And someone possessing enough knowledge to question what they are being told is not a threat to a physician's authority. Bedside manner is not about charm or personality. It is about professionalism--the ability to communicate difficult information respectfully, answer reasonable questions without hostility, listen when a patient expresses concern, and remember that the person lying in that hospital bed is a human being who deserves dignity. My mother deserved that dignity. She deserved clear communication. She deserved honesty. She deserved to have her concerns taken seriously. And she deserved a physician capable of answering questions without allowing the interaction to deteriorate into what felt, at times, more like an argument over who was the most knowledgeable person in the room. There is tremendous value in medical knowledge, but knowledge and humility are not mutually exclusive. A degree may establish someone's qualifications to practice medicine. Character, integrity, humility, compassion, and the way a physician treats people when he holds a position of authority reveal what kind of physician he chooses to be. And one final thought, Dr. Arya: not everyone you encounter is beneath you, and not everyone asking you a question is uninformed. Sometimes the person questioning you understands considerably more than you have assumed. We may do things a little differently here in the South, but treating people with basic dignity and respect should not be a regional custom. If contempt for patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals is the preferred approach, perhaps Chicago was the better fit after all.

Labeled me confused WHEN I COULD NOT HEAR AND told them I could not hear them am hearing impaired. Treated me for a STROKE THAT I DID NOT HAVE . Told me I DID NOT HAVE HIGH blood pressure when I DO and it was that REASON I was there, was a reaction to a blood pressure medicine I was taking. They kept me for THREE days running tests that WERE NOT MY PROBLEM and did NOT treat me for what WAS my problem. Never gave me a replacement for blood pressure, ignored the pain I was in from the medicine I was taking. Said I had pain in my neck and arms WHICH IS FALSE. Told them I took medicine for my heart, they IGNORED, told them I had sleep apnea and needed a machine at night, which they IGNORED. Once they finally believed me and released me I had to go to Griffin Medical Center to get the help I STILL NEEDED, where I was treated in a DOCTORS OFFICE and released the same DAY. Now waiting on all the bills that will come in THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY.

    I will try not to be too long-winded but I must be honest and thorough…read more I brought my dad here 2 weeks ago due to him feeling as though he may have had a stroke. We made it to the ER at roughly 5:30PM. He was seen in Imaging within 2 min of walking in. After x-rays and CT scans, it was determined he did not have a stroke or heart attack. We were moved to the ER holding area where we were seated in what they call "stalls". The ER Doctor finally comes through and asks a series of questions about heart history. He later tells us he could not go home due to a low heart rate. So we were moved to an actual room at 2:30 AM. Yes, we arrived at 5:30PM! We were exhausted Finally got a room on the main floor. It took 4 days for them to confirm it was Heart Disease. The nurses and techs were nice but some did not come in until an hour or so after their shift. As you know they're working 12hr shifts. Understand they're to get vitals throughout the night but the way they barged into the room with the carts was disrespectful. Mind you they're coming in every 2 hours or so. Communication was very poor. I found myself running behind them for answers. As I stated before it took 4 days before we knew what was causing his kidneys to collapse. I am my dad's point of contact but the nurses and techs were discussing my dad's condition with his siblings. I informed them several times that they are not to discuss any information with them. I guess HIPAA did not matter It was later discovered he was allergic to the CHG wipes. He had a very bad allergic reaction. The nurse was called she looked at us as though she did not understand. I asked that something be done right away. She noted she would contact the doctor The tech came in stated this was unacceptable and that the head nurse should be contacted. The head nurse requested ointment and Benadryl. The nurse had my dad waiting until the 2nd shift came in. If the head nurse had not been notified, the allergic reaction could have been worse I would like to commend the techs Candace, Shelly Ann, Davina, and Heather. They were very attentive and kind. I would like to commend the following nurses: Lillian and Brandon. They were very professional, caring, knowledgeable, and attentive. Very proactive! Emory has taken over Houston Medical Center but it's like they have the name Emory but the work product is not Emory standards. It's NOTHING like Emory in Atlanta This hospital has a long way to go. The rooms definitely need renovations. The walls are overdue for painting and the floors need a thorough cleaning

    The Most Disappointing Hospital Experience I Have Ever Had with My Daughter. My daughter has type…read moreone diabetes, and occasionally, she experiences diabetic ketoacidosis. The symptoms include high blood sugar, extreme fatigue, severe difficulty speaking or walking, and frequent vomiting of food or drink. We decided to seek treatment at Emory Hospital because our parents had used it, and we had heard positive feedback. Regrettably, that was the golden era of the past. Upon arrival at 2:00 PM, we were left in the waiting area, with our daughter unable to walk or maintain food intake. Approximately an hour later, we were called back and had her temperature, blood pressure, and blood drawn, only to be returned to the waiting area. We spent another hour waiting, during which they attempted to insert an intravenous (IV) line. After five unsuccessful attempts and an additional attempt for a blood gas test in her wrist, we were placed in a hallway for an hour. They then decided that she required a computed tomography (CT) scan. I observed numerous individuals in the waiting room receiving CT scans during our stay. We were subsequently moved to the CT scan waiting area for two hours. Finally, they retrieved my daughter for her CT scan and directed her to a second waiting area for another hour. After the CT scan, we were returned to the waiting area. The lack of patient care was astonishing. The inadequate number of rooms and beds for their patients was unacceptable. After spending another two hours in the waiting area, I approached the window to inquire about the admission of my daughter. They informed me that admission was possible. When I asked about the time, they stated that they did not have any rooms or beds available. They explained that Emory Hospital in Atlanta was fully booked and could not transfer patients. Finally, I spoke with an individual who escorted us back to take my daughter's blood sugar and request that a physician assistant administer insulin. Upon our return, we were relieved that our daughter would be able to rest and move out of the wheelchair. However, our hopes were dashed when we discovered that there were no beds available. It is important to note that we were in a hospital setting. I have never experienced such a lack of medical attention or respect. We were assigned a room with a chair and a curtain that separated us from another patient. This limited our sitting area to approximately four feet. The lack of respect displayed towards us was appalling. Around midnight, my daughter requested to leave the hospital against medical advice. This incident further solidified our decision to seek care at any hospital other than Emory. Even a veterinary clinic, where pets receive more respect and attention.
