Went to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, not only did I have a 12 hour wait, but no one kept us informed as to what was going on. I sat in ER for better part of day, was told at some point they were waiting for a room. Finally around 3:30 in the afternoon, I was was taken into Cath lab. I explained for the 4th time that I could not have a digital blood pressure cuff and this *** nurse said it didn't matter that's what they had and that is what they would use. She also put thermometers on me that had adhesive. I am allergic. Told her the first one was itching. I took it off, the next one did, I took it off, then the third one she put on my foot and it itched. She said they're hypo-allergenic. Well, no they are not. I itched for three days from that one. This nurse was so bad it actually influenced my hospital stay over the next two days. One of the many doctors who saw me, lied to me and said if I took the meds I could go home. He bullied me, tried to blackmail me and lied. I didn't get to go home until the next day. I had to tell 9 people throughout this ordeal that they couldn't use a digital blood pressure only a manual one and no one,. not one person listened or passed this on. It was a continuous fight. My hand is all red and swollen from where they cut the blood flow off. To say nothing of all the marks from adhesive I am dealing with. Boy do they itch. At some point, I just quit talking to them altogether other than basic I am getting up. They never even emptied the toilet collection where they said they had to measure. It was full and so I had to stand to go to bathroom. I never got an apology from anyone for their lapse in communications. I admit I wasn't very nice the whole time, but it was in relation to how they were treating me. I was already there and dealing with what I was dealing with. I don't need *** people taking care of me who have no clue how to put in a chart about blood pressure, adhesive or anything else or at least pass it on. They have an ad campaign that says they listen. WELLLL...... they don't or my arm and hand wouldn't look as bad as it does. (That is especially to the *** nurse in the cath lab. T Eli
