When I came into the ER at Bethesda North I expected to be well taken care of because I was having chest pains and trouble breathing.\r
\r
They paraded me out into the ER in a hospital gown and sat me in a chair by the nurses station. The nurse set up the blood pressure cuff but did not start it. She went running away, came back and went to take the cuff off. I told her it never started so she set it up again. She did this 3 times with the same exact results!!!\r
\r
Once they took me to a room a nurse came to hook up an IV. She grinded into my wrist and left a bruise the size of a lemon. Not once did they check my oxygen levels and everytime the cuff took my BP it would ding because my BP was so low-noone came in to check on me. My BP was in the low 80's and 90's. \r
\r
First, they took me for an xray, came back and said parts of my lungs were collapsed...then they did an MRI and said oh never mind. \r
\r
They ended up sending me home with a prescription for prilosec instead of working to find a solution. \r
\r
Instead of having me listed for having insurance they had me listed as self pay. As soon as my husband went to them to update the information they came in to send me home. What a coinkydink, huh?\r

I would not take my dying dog to this hospital. I had just moved back to Cincinnati and had no idea this hospital was so bad. Never again!!!
