Most horrific hospital experience aside from the disgrace at Lenox Hill last year (that still takes the cake for THE most abusive terrible scary hospital stay).

How I’ve been treated:

-Came to ER at 10 pm.

-Was placed in a stretcher in the hallway.

-Sat there for two hours before anyone acknowledged me… I didn’t even have a wristband ( this is the first time I considered walking out).

-The excuse? The person who checked me in didn’t actually check me in. They wrote wrong name and birth date. WTF?

-I told them I was in agony with this headache. They left me sitting there for five hours until I was taken for a CAT scan.

-Their excuse? “Somehow” the order was misplaced so radiology never received it.

-CT scan negative (yay)

-I sit for another hour and a half and wait for my Spinal Tap.

-Finally it’s time.

-I quickly realize it is this doctor’s first time ever performing this skill and the doc directing her is beyond rude and in my opinion, dumb.

-After an hour of discomfort Nurse comes by with IV painkiller and benadryll to stop my itching from my first round of painkillers.

-Nurse gives Benadryll first and I have an instantaneous bad reaction. I start shaking uncontrollably, teeth are clenched with no control over my jaw.

-I am scared and ask the doc for something to help.

-This clown of a doctor gives me a speech about breaking the cycle of drugs and it’s “just the opiates making me react this way. It will pass.”

-It doesn’t pass quick enough. I can’t stop body from shaking, get cold, feel like I’m in Shock!

-I ask this clown of a doctor if anyone before me has reacted to Benadryll in such a way. He insists I did not take Benadryll.. That I actually took the painkiller. Ummmmm NO. That’s what I’m trying to tell you Doc! WTF

-His face changes and realizes this is a problem.

-I get fluids to flush out this bad reaction. -I wait forever for the spinal tap labs.

-After three more hours they are negative ( yay again) -In total 12 hours in an ER.

-Ignored for 11 of the hours and basically abused for the remaining 1 and the amount of time she was stabbing my lumbar to perform the spinal tap.

-I felt her try and go in at least five times. I was screaming. My right leg was zinging when she was in. My lower back is black and blue and I cannot walk. I have much bigger problems than I came in with.

-Messed up in the head from all the drugs and can’t even lie down comfortably.

-Oh, my headache is STILL HERE!
