Review content:
i had an experience in the st. joseph's emergency room that i feel an obligation to make public. two nights ago, on the evening of july 28th, i was admitted to the ER at st. joseph's for an overdose of advil pm i took in a half-hearted suicide attempt, probably brought on by a recent increase of dosage of my anti-depressants. the nurse attending to me refused to change the position of (or even look at) the iv in my arm which was causing my skin and vein considerable irritation. he said that if i so much as touched it again he would strap me in restraints. he refused to remove the iv even once my vitals were normal, although there was no medicine administered through it at any point. and called me a liar, saying i had too much benydril in my system to possibly feel irritated, and told me i did not deserve his compassion because it was my own fault i was there. i asked his name, having failed to look at his nametag, and he told me it was ""steve."" in the morning when the er staff switched shifts, a female nurse came in and said she was there to replace ""ed."" a bit confused, i asked if the nurse taking care of me the night before was ed. she told me yes, and that the intake worker was brian. so this nurse falsely identified himself after neglecting and emotionally abusing me in a most judgmental and unprofessional manner, presumably to avoid liability. this is an unethical and illegal way for a medical professional to behave, and i want to publicize this abuse in a hope to mitigate other psychiatric patient abuse in this hospital. there were other people there who could corroborate my story, specifically a security guard who had first noticed my iv was visibly irritating me and informed ""ed.""
Cons: medical staff emotionally abusive to psychiatric patients illegally gives false name to avoid liability
