After two ER visits to sycamore shoals, I am disgusted. The information in my notes (medical history) were completely inaccurate. My bed smelled like urine. The doctors talked over me, dismissed any complaints, and sent me home explain if I just had anxiety (typical because I’m a woman). Doctors were very unconcerned. The nurse put on gloves then touched multiple objects like paper, pens, etc before removing my IV. I then bled so much because the IV was too big and buried too far into my arm, causing extreme pain. I bled after removal completely down to my hand. My notes also didn’t list any additional symptoms I explained I was having at both visits that weren’t related to anxiety, I assume because that would require more effort. After leaving the second time, I found this kind of lazy misdiagnoses from the same doctor nearly killed two of relatives and a friend within the last year. Every person I know in this county told me to avoid this emergency room but I assumed they were only a few people with bad experiences. However I now find consistency with every complaint I see. Also, at my first visit, complaining of multiple symptoms including shortness of breath, no one thought it important to tell me I had emphysema. This is a terrible emergency room with a disrespectful staff only interested in chit chatting at the nurse’s station. This is where they gathered for 20 minutes after I asked for help just going to a restroom. My own family had to figure out how to unhook me from multiple cords. These are terrible doctors, Ballad is a terrible company that no one in this area supports. Their expenses are triple what they are at other health systems. Politics are hurting people who need help.
