after a roll over accident that a minor was in. minor shows up to er in c collar which they TOOK OFF IMMEDIATELY! NO XRAY WERE DONE NO CT SCAN! Her primary care physician was even upset. the ER doc said... "im not diagnosing her with a concussion." meanwhile, she suffered headaches, nausea, photophobia and dizziness for 2 weeks afterwards! Her primary care physician said, yes, she does have a concussion. I'm ashamed of this hospital! absolutely appalled over the treatment of a MINOR. My child has been in this ER 2 times in her life, and both times were less than pleasant. I now see why everyone i know would rather go to Jefferson County Hospital. I've gotten no apologies from this place. I probably never will. I'm voting NO for anything they think they need from here on out.
All employees at Olympic Medical Center Port Angeles were wonderful, except for one. I was in the emergency room and then stayed over for one night. I felt safe and it seemed like every person from billing to phlebotomists to nurses and most doctors actually cared about my health and safety. From my perspective, it appeared that all protocol and procedures were efficient, prompt and understood well by all. Shout out for Wade, Tracy, Kim and Jamie. One of the doctors told me that this whole thing could have been avoided if I wasn't abusing amphetamines. That means that he didn't know that my normal medications cause a false positive in urinalysis. A doctor should know that. I had to explain it to him! He looked at me skeptically and then acquiesced that it could be true. Next he said, "Well then, what about the fentanyl?" So he's accusing me of abusing that too. This means that he didn't bother to read my chart and see that the emergency room doctors put it in my IV. I kept my cool and rationalized to myself that he must see a lot of drug abusers in there? Even so, it's not OK to assume that I am a drug abuser and then confront me with two accusations. At the end of our conversation there was no apology or explanation for not reading and then jumping to conclusions.
I was reluctant to go back to OMC Health after an experience I’d had a few years ago. I’d seen a provider there who, while doing a pelvic exam, slapped my very private parts 4 times while stating, “oh, we’ve got a bit of chub going on there, don’t we?”
Yes, I do. It is from the cancer treatment I’ve gone through, a side effect I’m told. I have lymphedema - swelling. But thank you for smacking me like that, the humiliating reminder!! I’ve got cancer and all that goes with its complete package, plus I’m overweight. This includes tearing a human completely down until they have lost all sense of any ability to relate to anyone on the same level of comprehensive humanity. No longer human, but a walking (when able) Petri dish, depending on what you decide you (the doctors) are going to throw at it (my cancer) this week.
A doctor's training starts with the extraction of their humanity - sucked it clean out of them - in order to deal with your very specific issue, that doesn’t include being a person. No time allotted for that. So do not ask or expect them to - they do not have the time. Or training. Just their particular specialty.
