On

2022
I
was
advised
by
my
PCP
HomeCare
physician
to
go
right
away
to
the
closest
Emergency
Room
for
an
extremely
High
level
of
malignant
hypertension.
Started
at
206/124
and
continued
to
climb
indiscriminately.
As
I
hit
the
button
of
my
emergency
alert
device
an
ambulance
was
dispatched
immediately.
The
EMT’s
came
with
assistance
to
vehicle
to
access
my
condition.
At
that
time
my
BP
was
measured
at
216/126
and
continued
to
elevate.
By
the
time
we
reached
ROP
ER
treatment
room
#8
.
Room
was
still
being
cleaned.
Immediately
the
nursing
staff
began
EKG
vitals
and
drawing
blood
the
ENT’s
had
already
prepped
my
R-hand
for
IV
solutions
before
entering
the
ER.
However
no
solutions
were
given,
no
pain
meds
or
any
BP
meds
were
administered
nor
nausea
meds
were
ever
offered.
No
questions
regarding
whether
or
not
I
was
there
by
myself
or
if
I
had
be
followed
or
accompanied
by
anyone
else.
.
I
was
allegedly
was
sent
for
CT
Scan
,
however
the
CT
Scan
was
done
so
fast
that
it
was
though
the
machine
was
on
a
eyelash
power.
The
transport
from
the
er
room
and
back
was
less
than
3
mins.
30
minutes
later
I
was
as
your
system
states
code
44’d.
The
physician
told
me
that
my
home
health
physician
only
needed
to
change
my
medication
levels
of
my
bp
protocol
and
that
she
and
ER
staff
had
did
nothing
to
intervene
in
this
condition
and
wouldn’t
be.
I
asked
had
she
noticed
my
L-side
of
my
face
and
the
swelling
and
the
potential
cause
and
if
it
could
have
been
connected
to
the
headache
and
blood
pressure
extreme
elevation.
She
answered
NO!
And
that
your
ER
doesn’t
treat
those
types
of
things
regardless.
Totally
stunned
as
I
was
trying
to
comprehend
the
diagnosis
of
primary
hypertension,
I
asked
for
assistance
to
the
waiting
room.
Again
at
that
time
no
one
ever
engaged
me
with
any
questions
about
assistance
or
source
of
transportation
home
as
it
was
rapidly
approaching
midnight.
I
am
a
58yr
old
BLIND
WOMAN
that
lives
alone.
No
one
even
asked
for
my
PCP
‘s
phone
number
or
a
family
member’s
contact
information.
My
question
is
WHY?
I
wasn’t
verbally
combative.
I
wasn’t
aggressive
nor
exhibiting
threatening
behavior
of
any
sort.
I
called
thst
Friday
October
14,
2022
and
was
directed
to
Patient
Relations
around
3:30-4pm
.
My
call
was
routed
to
a
voicemail
to
that
department
to
leave
a
message
and
my
personal
contact
information.
As
I
was
leaving
this
message,
I
could
hear
an
individual
screening
the
voicemail
I
would
leave
for
follow
up
contact
by
the
next
business
day
to
address
my
concerns.
Which
to
date,
I
have
not
been
contacted
nor
has
the
event
been
addressed
directly
by
me
with
the
hospital
administrators
.
I
am
also
a
state
protected
patient
of
Colbert
Initiative
Consent
Decree
since
2015….
The
moment
I
used
the
emergency
alert
device,
it
became
their
business
to
know
the
extent
of
my
medical
emergency
condition.
The
circumstances
were
inquired
and
documented.
My
PCP,
Nursing
home
health
attendant,
and
all
other
team
members
and
Medicare/Medicaid
were
informed
as
well.
I
have
never
been
treated
like
a
no
factor
before
in
my
whole
medical
experience
with
any
facility,
such
as
this
and
on
the
level
in
which
your
facility
operates.
That
wasn’t
a
routine
doctor’s
appointment.
I
could
have
returned
to
my
home
or
on
the
street
and
dropped
dead.
Thanks!
GOD
intervened…..
