Doctor Complaint: Unknown - Brigham And Women's Hospital
I AM THANKFUL I AM A NURSE PRACTIONER BUT I FEEL PEOPLE TAKE THERE LIVES IN THERE HANDS EVERY TIME THEY ENTER A MEDICAL FACILITY.
WHERE does one begin, as amazing bedside manners of the majority of bedside staff was I found many to be incompetant, 3 of the CNA's I beleive purposely CAUSED UNDUE PAIN TO ME DURING A BLOOD PRESSURE READING WHEN i ASKED THEM TO DO A MANUAL READING ONEO PLACE ME ON HAD NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT WHEN I SHOWED HER SHE BECAME INDIGNENT AND PUMPED IT UP TO 200, WHEN MY B/P HAS NEVER BEEN OVER 120.
NEXT A PLEASANT INTERN DECIDED OR FORGOT TO PUT ME BACK ON MY ANTIBIOTICS I HAD BEEN ON FOR 4 DAYS...I QUESTIONED MY ATTENDING WHO TOLD ME HE WOULD PUT ME BACK ON, WHEN IT WAS NOT ORDERED THE NURSE CONTACTED HIM AND HE WAS INDIGNANT TO THE NURSE WHO I ASKED TO INQUIRE.
lATER THAT NIGHT I WOULD GET SHAKING CHILLS REQUIRE BLOOD CUTURES ANOTHER UNINE TEST AND ULTIMATELY WAS PLACED BACK ON THE SAME ANTIBIOTICS FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS SINCE MY TX WAS INTERUPTED!
THIS SAME INTERN WAS SUPPOSSED TO WRITE FOR MY ATIVAN AND AMBIEN...WHICH WAS NOT DONE EITHER.
NEXT I HAVE A RESIDENT WHO TREATED ME QUITE INDIGNANTLTY INCINUATING I MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO SUGGEST MY PROCEDURE BE DONE IN THE HOSPITAL AND NOT AS AN OUTPATIENT, SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH THE ATTENDING, SHE PROMISED TO WRITE A ORDER FOR IV ATIVAN PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE, THIS NEVER HAPPENED.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I SLEPT LITTLE WITH SHAKING CHILLS AND GETTING BLOOD CULTUES THE NIGHT BEFORE MY PROCEDURE,
I WAS SCHEDULED AT 230 PM AND SUDDENLY THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE BUMPING ME UP...I ASKED FOR MY ATIVAN iV THEY SAID OH YOU WILL GET THAT IN RADIOLOGY, I ASKED FOR MY ORAL ATIVAN THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO WAIT.
I WENT TO THIS PROCEDURE HORRIFIED AND RIDDLED WITH ANXIETY FEARFUL THAT THIS ANGRY RESIDENT MIGHT HARM ME AS SHE WAS SO ANGRY.
I NEVER GOT ATIVAN, I GOT BITS OF SEDATION IT WAS NOT VERY PAINFUL BUT IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERINCE FEELING I FELT LIKE THEY HAD A HUGE CORKSCREW AND WERE UNSCREWING MY INSIDES AND PULLING THEM OUT.
NEXT I GET BACK TOLD MY ROOM AND IM TOLD I NEED TO BE ON BEDREST FOR 6 HRS AND HAVE MY VITALS MONITORED. APPARENTLY THE NURSE WAS LAZY AND AFTER 3 SETS OF VITAL SIGNS SHE DECIDED I WAS FINE AND CALLED THE SPECIAL PROCEDURES TO SEE IF I COULD BE DISCHARGED EARLY. THIS SAME INCOMPITANT NURSE TRIED TO GIVE ME LOVENOX DIRECELY AFTER MY PROCEDURE WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO HEMMORHAGE AS ONE NEEDS TO WAIT 24 HRS,,,
I WAS EXHAUSTED, EXPERICIENCING QUITE A BIT OF PAIN, MY INSURANCE HAD PAID FOR THE FULL DAY BUT NOW IM GETTING BOOTED OUT AT 5PM FRIDAY IN BOSTON...PLUS I WAS SUPPOSSED TO BE ON BEDREST FOR 3 MORE HOURS. THERE WAS NO ONE AWAITING THIS BED,,,I HAD NOT EATEN,
I LIVE IN WESTERN MASS I GOT HOME AT 11PM, MISSERABLE AND EXHAUSTED BUT THANKFUL I WAS ALIVE,
PLEASE QUESTION EVERYTHING WHEN YOU ARE IN A HOSPITAL, WE ARE THE CONSUMER WHO PAYS THEIR SALARIES! I WAS NOT PROACTIVE OR DEMANDING WHICH I SHOULD HAVE BEEN, MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL'S NEED TO BE NOT ONLY PROFESSIONAL BUT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS OF LACK YHEIR OF.
I FELT LIKE I WAS AN EXPERIMENT AND A BAD ONE THAT NEEDED SUPERVISION BY AN EXPERT NOT A BUNCH OF STUDENTS,
SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN TAKE A TRUSTED FRIEND OE FAMILY MEMBER WITH YOU IF YOU NEED TO GO TO A HOSPIYAL, YOU JUST MIGHT LIVE THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE.
