Business ProfileforMary Washington Healthcare

Date of occurrence March 25th and March 26th 2023. Disputing my medical bill for March 25th ** visit at **** Washington ***************************** (*** **) due to miss diagnosis, treatment and care received. I returned to **** Washington ***************************** (SH **) on March 26th within less than 24 hours of my last visit to **, due to the care I did not receive the first visit and the advice given on my AVS print out. I filed an appeal with Mary Washington Healthcare patient relations for my medical bill to be dropped and was denied. Background of the situation. I went to the *** ** due to new lip swelling that day, throat feeling off, projectile vomiting/diarrhea (ongoing for few days) and overall poor health. I was increasingly getting sicker while being on an antibiotic each day (treating previous positive strep throat result). I expressed to the ** physician that I have never been this sick while taking antibiotic and have never developed lip swelling before and the other symptoms. I felt that I was having allergic reaction to the antibiotic. The physician dismissed my concerns and discharge me as upper viral respiratory infection and told me to continue to take the antibiotic, although I was already having severe adverse effects. I felt unsafe leaving the ** and concerned for my care I received. On my discharge AVS there was no mention of the possibility of allergic reaction to antibiotic and on the physician notes regarding the visit. Although on the physician assessment the symptoms of allergic reaction to the antibiotic was present and I was miss treated during my care at the **. The next morning and during the night I woke up with same symptoms and more severe after continuing the antibiotic. I return to SH ** due to worsening symptoms and fear of escalating to anaphylaxis reaction. Desired resolution would be Mary Washington Healthcare to drop my medical bill from March 25th 2023 *** ** visit and if possible March 26th 2023 SH ** *****
