Basically I’m a “think positive” person and certainly not looking to write an exposé. But, in good faith, I am going to share why I feel I lost confidence in my local hospital.
My complaints:
1) There was no care triage between the emergency room physician, the attending physician on the out-patient floor of the hospital, and my personal doctor. Therefore I felt adrift with my care in the hands of strangers who didn’t know me or my medical record beyond in-take forms.
2) Medical staff admitted to me that hospital protocol was breached when the emergency room failed to inform the radiology department that I was experiencing symptoms that could have resulted from a problem with a biopsy done three days previously in the same hospital.
3) There was an attempt to administer a shot of blood thinner in contradiction to the orders of the surgeon who did the biopsy.
