Wow, Dr. Schultz…read more.. Recent research shows that tramadol has greater potential to be abused and to cause overdoses than was believed when it first appeared on the U.S. market in 1995. A Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today investigation found that the FDA failed to heed a key piece of research indicating tramadol had the potential to be abused. Instead, the agency recommended not putting tramadol under the Controlled Substance Act. Restrictions on prescribing it are no more stringent than for Lipitor or Viagra. In 2005, the DEA received four petitions to put tramadol under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S., three that asked that it be a schedule 3 drug. Last month, the DEA recommended that it be put under schedule 4 of the act. Similar concerns about tramadol abuse and overdoses have been raised recently in Great Britain. In February, the country's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs noted that deaths in which tramadol was mentioned on the death certificate nearly doubled between 2008 and 2011. Prescriptions for tramadol in England also increased from 5.9 million in 2005 in 11.1 million in 2012. http://www.medpagetoday.com/PainManagement/PainManagement/43554

When I went to my T.E.E. appointment at Boone Hospital, the nurses were unable to find any…read moreinformation about me in their computer. Three separate nurses asked for my weight and height so they'd know how much anesthetic to give me. Clearly no one was making any note of my patient information. The anesthesiologist read some medications and asked if those were the medications I was on. When I told him I wasn't on any, he replied, "Oh, this is the wrong patient's file!" My husband was told I'd be returned to the third floor after my 15-minute procedure. I was not. A second anesthesiologist said she couldn't get the anesthesia machine to work and asked me, "Why are you here? Do you have a hole in your heart?" I guess in lieu of any patient information she was reduced to guessing why I was scheduled for a T.E.E. I was there to have an initial test to ultimately repair my mitral valve prolapse. We began late because no one could locate the attending nurse. After 50 minutes, my husband asked a nurse how I was doing. She told him there was no patient with my name in the computer. An elderly woman was getting the same stonewalling; no one could find her husband. My husband was more mobile than she was so he found me on the second floor. That poor woman is probably still there. I was understandably hesitant to have Boone Hospital do further procedures on me so I did some research. The best cardiologists in the state are at Washington University and they work through Barnes Jewish, so if you want excellent healthcare make the trip to Barnes. I was impressed with my care at Barnes Jewish (my current STL cardiologist is Dr. Thakker and my thoracic surgeon Dr. Melby; they did a great job and I'd recommend them).

I had a tooth pulled here recently. Dr Thomas is great and has wonderful bedside manner. However,…read morehis technician Vanessa needs to learn a lot. She was terrible on suction and I could tell Dr Thomas was getting aggravated with her. She barely told me anything after they pulled it on what to do once I got home. She shoved gauze in my cheek, missing the extraction site completely. When I left the building, I had a giant piece of tissue, blood, and tooth bone all mixed together in my cheek that I had to spit out. My tooth wasn't easy to pull kind of giving me some trauma on how heavy handed they had to be with it. I guess if I could choose to be knocked out for an extraction, I will do that. I don't really want to go through that again. Everyone else at his practice was nice and comforting. But I will request that Vanessa does not have anything to do with my teeth. She was not friendly and seemed like she didn't want to be there.

This is the worst va hospital in the country perhaps. They don't even treat their veterans with…read morekind of respect, you get fake bs like you would from snake oil car salesman. I myself am 12 year Navy veteran with severe ptsd and one day when I had a counseling session there at the hospital red team clinic the receptionists were all talking about their personal lives instead of being professional especially when they played saving private ryan in front of all the ptsd veterans in the lobby, that's really being professional huh, I think you get better professionalism in a funeral home because that's what it feels like they are trying to do to honorably discharged who served their country and either were physically injured or have mental scars or both like I do. The other thing was yesterday they pretty much traumatized me with their colon prep crap and it about killed drinking the salty shit they sent me they couldn't send me the good stuff like had before and to beat it all I was up all night with diarrhea from it until it was just a little cloudy only too get put thru the procedure and later to tell me they couldn't do it because it was still dirty, well I did everything the paper said until it was just granules and they still told me I was wrong and they fat shamed me swell putting me in one of those hospitals where I felt trapped and part of my ptsd is claustrophobia, which they wasn't to concerned about and I had concern and fears about the anesthesia they gave me because they changed it from before this stuff they gave me put me completely under which worried me severally because already have breathing problems like copd,asthma, chronic bronchitis and I was a diesel mechanic in the Navy and they did this shit to me which is part that traumatized me. I want everyone to know how badly they treat veterans and how garbage this hospital. They might swell be with China and all the other shit countries against America because that's what kind of Healthcare you get there is the P.O.W kind. I Wish I could rate this review a triple quadruple negative rating because that is just how sorry it is there. I wouldn't even take my dog there after this mess.

We got back in line to ask about her appointment, "they missed filed it." We were then told, we would be called "next." Wrong again. Finally, were brought into a room. Were asked about a long list of medications she was not prescribed, and then told she needed another xray. The xray was completed the last week in June. The appointment was just a mandatory pre-op information session. And, yes, we are still currently waiting. After witnessing the way they have treated my mother, I will be looking for treatment elsewhere.
