I
normally
do
not
complain
about
any
type
of
service
unless
I
am
trying
to
bring
subpar
service
to
the
attention
of
others
considering
using
their
facilities.
Once
again,
I
am
commenting
on
the
University
of
Kansas
Hospital.
Normally,
when
a
Primary
Care
Physician
and/or
various
Specialists
cannot
properly
assess
your
condition,
they
recommend
and
refer
you
to
a
specialist
in
the
field
of
expertise
best
for
a
person’s
condition.
Since
it
can
take
as
much
as
six
months
and
beyond
to
see
anyone,
a
person’s
symptoms
can
worsen
in
this
time
frame.
This
is
the
case
of
my
wife
whose
has
been
battling
a
neurological
movement
disorder
for
nearly
four
years
now.
It
has
gotten
to
the
point
that
she
asks
the
neurologist
if
she
can
please
get
in
sooner
to
see
them.
The
response
is
ALWAYS
to
go
to
the
ER
(or
now
called
the
ED
so
it
sounds
more
eloquent).
My
wife
has
been
experiencing
severe
non
epileptic
seizures,
body
contortions
and
extreme
chronic
pain
for
several
years
now.
More
recently,
she
has
started
have
uncontrollable
tongue
and
jaw
movements
that
are
causing
excessive
drooling.
The
“specialists”
at
KU
have
told
her
varying
recommendations
that
include
pray
and
just
ignore
it.
Over
the
last
several
months,
her
condition
has
become
so
bad
that
I
had
to
go
to
the
ER/ED.
Each
time
they
showed
that
they
had
no
knowledge
or
understanding
of
what
she
was
going
through,
did
basically
nothing
to
try
to
find
any
comfort
or
solution
for
her
condition,
and
did
their
best
to
release
her
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
most
recent
visit
was
two
days
ago.
As
they
were
trying
to
push
us
out
the
door,
my
wife
started
experiencing
seizures
in
front
of
the
two
nurses
trying
to
get
her
in
a
wheelchair.
One
of
the
nurses
finally
left
to
get
the
doctor.
Upon
her
return,
they
tried
to
calm
my
wife
down.
Did
they
try
to
further
analyze
her
condition?
No!
Did
they
try
to
contact
the
on
call
neurologist?
No!
Did
they
try
to
contact
her
current
neurologist?
No!
Instead,
they
urged
her
to
keep
her
upcoming
appointment
with
her
Neurologist
in
two
weeks.
Also
contact
her
Primary
Care
Physician.
He
is
the
one
who
had
no
idea
as
to
what
to
do
and
told
her
to
seek
out
help
with
a
Neurologist.
Basically,
the
Primary
Care
Physician
says
to
go
to
a
Neurologist.
The
Neurologist
says
go
to
the
ER/ED.
The
ER/ED
says
to
go
back
to
the
Neurologist
and
the
Primary
Care
Physician.
Do
you
see
a
pattern
here?
Lack
of
care,
competence
and
effort.
A
tertiary
referral
hospital
,
which
KU
is
considered
to
be,
is
a
supposedly
a
level
of
health
care
obtained
from
specialists
in
a
large
hospital
after
referral
from
the
providers
of
primary
care
and
secondary
care.
You
continue
to
fail
miserably
at
this.
For
those
of
you
who
took
the
time
to
read
all
of
this,
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
understanding.
Now
watch
to
see
if
KU
even
bothers
to
respond
to
this.
If
they
do,
it
will
be
the
usual
copy
and
paste
response
that
shows
no
care
or
interest
for
a
disabled
patient
in
need
of
medical
attention.
Isn’t
that
what
hospitals
are
supposed
to
do?
