I
recently
had
a
distressing
encounter
at
UC
MED
Mandaue
Hospital's
Emergency
Room
Department
that
left
me
deeply
dissatisfied
with
the
level
of
care
and
professionalism
exhibited
by
the
staff.
My
experience,
unfortunately,
fell
far
short
of
the
standard
one
would
expect
from
a
reputable
medical
facility.
Upon
arriving
at
the
Emergency
Room,
I
was
already
feeling
quite
anxious
due
to
my
asthma
exacerbation,
which
had
led
to
significant
breathing
difficulties.
The
personnel
from
the
ambulance
who
brought
me
in
were
sympathetic
and
immediately
recognized
the
severity
of
my
condition,
suggesting
that
I
needed
oxygen
support
as
my
oxygen
levels
were
low.
However,
my
optimism
was
short-lived
as
I
interacted
with
the
emergency
nurses.
To
my
dismay,
the
emergency
nurses
displayed
an
alarming
lack
of
empathy
and
professionalism.
Rather
than
acknowledging
the
urgency
of
my
situation,
they
appeared
dismissive
of
my
distress
and
seemed
to
mock
me
when
I
expressed
my
difficulty
in
breathing
and
my
pre-existing
asthma
condition.
This
attitude
only
exacerbated
my
anxiety
and
discomfort,
leaving
me
feeling
utterly
neglected.
Moreover,
what
further
added
to
my
disappointment
was
the
refusal
of
the
emergency
nurses
to
provide
me
with
the
oxygen
support
recommended
by
the
ambulance
personnel.
Despite
clear
indications
from
the
ambulance
team
about
the
need
for
oxygen,
the
nurses
were
adamant
in
denying
me
this
basic
life-saving
assistance.
This
blatant
disregard
for
the
advice
of
the
ambulance
team
and
my
well-being
was
both
shocking
and
deeply
concerning.
I
understand
that
emergency
rooms
can
be
busy
and
demanding
environments,
but
it
is
crucial
for
medical
professionals
to
treat
patients
with
respect
and
sensitivity.
No
one
should
feel
humiliated
or
belittled
when
seeking
medical
help,
especially
during
a
time
of
vulnerability.
I
sincerely
hope
that
UC
MED
Mandaue
Hospital
takes
these
concerns
seriously
and
undertakes
a
comprehensive
review
of
their
Emergency
Room
department's
practices
and
staff
training.
It
is
imperative
that
steps
are
taken
to
address
these
issues
to
ensure
that
future
patients
do
not
have
to
endure
such
unprofessional
and
insensitive
treatment.
In
conclusion,
my
experience
at
UC
MED
Mandaue
Hospital's
Emergency
Room
department
was
distressing,
characterized
by
the
rude
and
unprofessional
behavior
of
the
nurses,
who
mocked
my
medical
condition
and
refused
to
provide
necessary
oxygen
support.
I
urge
the
hospital
management
to
take
prompt
action
to
rectify
these
shortcomings
and
improve
the
quality
of
care
offered
in
their
Emergency
Room.
I
don’t
recommend
coming
to
this
facility.
