There is upstairs general care, which I am complaining about, and downstairs emergency room, who did great.
After 5 completely healthy EKG's from the same place, i went in one day for another basic checkup, as scheduled by them.. I got rushed down to the ER after the nurses failed 3 times to put the EKG stickers on correctly. Which after asking for all three results, I was only allowed to view one of the three tests done to MY BODY. (wonder why?)
Then all of a sudden, according to these doctors, and one of the three EKG's they took, I was having a heart attack and needed to be rushed to the emergency room downstairs immediately to save my life! How kind!
Got to the ER about 15 minutes later and they did another EKG immediately, the real doctor looked me in the eyes with genuine disbelief, because she did an EKG herself, and it was the exact same, healthy results as the first few I've done. She then told me "I don't want to charge a healthy patient emergency room fees, everything was completely fine with your EKG, the upstairs doctors (in st 220) were just rushing me out because they were about to close for the day. She actually physically went upstairs to yell at them, which I didn't ask her to do, but very much appreciated. So what is this. A scam?? Laziness?? This visit cost me $500 for that POINTLESS visit because the nurses wanted to go home??
Now at this probably my 5th and absolutely last appointment, with anger in my voice, they told me what I originally went in for, and all that needs to be fixed is my diet. Seriously? X-rays, emergency room, 8 doctor visits, cardiologist appointments, blood work, they even tested for STDS! All of that just to tell me what I said the FIRST VISIT. Unbelievable.
On a complete side note, the younger black male doctor that was seeing me was very professional. We cracked a few jokes, and I believe he gave me genuine advice. I have nothing bad to say about him at all. I just believe he's being told to give patients extra steps, and say "it's just to be safe!"
