Over a year ago, BSW ER at 5252 West University Drive, McKinney, Texas 75071 sent me home with multiple broken bones in my arm from a fall instead of transferring me to a Tier 1, Trauma Hospital (which they are not!). A tier 1, Trauma hospital has a orthopedic surgeon on duty 7/24. I had surgery 2 weeks later, but suffered for 2 weeks. Here it is over a year later, and I needed ER again. I was hemorrhaging blood and was taken to this same location by ambulance. The ambulance driver gave me zophran and set me upright. When we got to the hospital, the ambulance nurse told the ER nurse he didn't see any blood, and she believed him instead of me. I also said I had had a bleeding ulcer before and this was the same symptoms, and I had thrown up a pan full of blood at home. Even though their blood test(s) showed that I was losing blood rapidly, the ER doctor did not order a tube to be put down my nose to extract the blood from my stomach (as done previously by a different hospital years earlier). Sure enough, it was a large bleeding ulcer and my stomach filled up with blood for 9 hours waiting for an endoscopy. Nine hours! This caused blood clots to form in my stomach complicating the issue for the gastrologist and causing me great pain later that night from the procedure. Not only could I have bled to death, but they also didn’t give me any blood so now I am anemic. During the night, the nurse let me suffer for several hours before getting severe pain medication approved by the doctor on duty. I had to call a family member to come to the hospital to help me get her to order pain medication. She kept treating me for "nausea". Too many other caring hospitals in the Dallas area to go to this one. Also, their "auditor" is useless - comes in a the day of release and wants to know "how things went" Right. I am not going to tell him anything because I don't want my "compliants" on my hospital record for the rest of my life.
