1/5 DC P. 5 years ago on Google
My
wife
was
rushed
to
the
ER
for
chest
pains
and
difficulty
of
breathing.
Attending
doctors
at
the
ER
ran
the
basic
workups
which
were
found
to
be
mostly
within
normal
range.
However,
the
attending
doctor
exclaimed
that
TROPONIN
I
Quantitative
Test
is
within
the
border
and
therefore
may
indicate
a
heart
attack.
The
doctor
advised
patient
to
be
admitted
or
another
attack
may
be
inevitable.
The
Patient
informed
the
attending
doctor
at
ER
re
the
doctor
of
choice
of
the
patient.
Eto

patient
is
admitted
and
stayed
for
the
night.
No
additional
lab
workups
were
done.
Come
noontime,
still
just
staying
in
the
hospital
room
with
just
vital
signs
taken
paminsanminsan
with
the
IV
on
KVO.
Nothing
heard
from
any
nurse
or
staff
except
for
the
rep
from
the
billing
section
asking
us
to
pay
the
12k
plus
bill
while
still
being
admitted.
I
asked
the
nurses
station
about
the
supposed
attending
physicianโs
advise.
The
response
was
that:
โ
e
sinabihan
na
man
po
kau
na
nasa
convention
si
docโ!
to
my
surprise,
I
asked
the
patient
if
she
was
informed
that
there
is
no
doctor.
Nurses
explained
that
it
was
the
case
since
patient
was
still
at
the
ER.
Patient
confronted
the
nurses
(went
out
of
the
room)
since
she
was
never
informed
despite
nurses
saying
that
the
ER
doc
had
talked
to
the
supposed
attending
doc
and
was
informed
that
heโs
in
convention.
This
ER
doc
insisted
for
the
patient
to
be
admitted
yet
never
thought
about
the
importance
of
informing
the
patient
that
her
doctor
of
choice
is
not
available.
So,
the
patient
stayed
overnight
and
asked
to
go
for
a
follow
up
check
up
a
week
later.
No
meds
given.
And
a
request
for
2D-echo
as
OPD;
one
that
could
have
been
done
while
patient
was
still
idly
confined.
Patient
opted
to
talk
to
the
supervisor
to
raise
the
issue
but
the
nurses
station
said
that
everyone
is
โBUSYโ.
So
at
least
I
rate
this
1
star.
it
is
very
important
to
keep
the
patient
well-informed.
Hospitals
and
its
staff
should
have
the
heart
and
personal
touch
-
human
touch.
