My PCP sent me to Cleveland Clinic ED (Vero beach FL) due to persistent high BP, history of stroke and chest pain. I was taken back (after a long wait) to a large room with side petitions but front wide open…no curtain).:As bloodwork and EKG were done, I requested a blanket or towel as had to remove my arm etc exposing my bra. They didn’t give me anything to cover myself! Then, after a chest X-ray, I was placed in a similar room with many patients. (I put my shirt back on). After much time had passed, I tried to get the attention of the many staffers that walked by. They all ignored me. Time passed again. I’m a patient person but not one person checked on me. Chest pain persisted. Finally, I removed the EKG pads and walked out. I took the arm port out when I got home. It took them over two hours to realize I was missing!! They called my husband which is how they found out. Oh, I’m a retired nurse and have worked in an ED. I will never go back to Cleveland Clinic in Vero Beach again.
