Went
to
the
emergency
room
on
Thanksgiving
day.
(11/24/2022)
Was
a
horrible
experience
from
the
time
I
walked
in.
I
was
in
excruciating
pain
and
was
on
one
knee
during
the
intake
process.
There
was
no
concern
for
the
obvious
pain
I
was
in
and
was
offered
no
assistance
such
as
aid
in
walking
or
even
a
wheelchair.
Once
my
name
was
called
I
was
offered
no
assistance
or
accommodation
to
make
it
to
the
patient
room.
I
was
freezing
cold
and
had
to
request
a
blanket.
I
had
bouts
of
vomiting
and
wasn’t
offered
a
vomit
bag
until
I
threw
up
in
‘their’
sink.
I
heard
about
this
issue
with
vomiting
in
the
sink
the
rest
of
the
night
when
a
PA
came
in
the
room
or
when
I
was
escorted
to
the
CT
scan.
The
first
blanket
I
was
given
was
wet
with
sweat
from
the
pain
I
was
in.
I
pushed
the
call
button
requesting
another
one.
Eventually
when
I
arrived
for
my
CT
scan
I
was
given
one.
All
the
while
you
could
hear
the
nurses
and
PA’s
outside
my
room
having
a
great
time.
This
emergency
room
doesn’t
care
one
bit
about
patient
care
especially
if
you
don’t
have
insurance.
My
CT
scan
showed
a
large
colonic
stool
burden
and
diverticulosis
without
evidence
of
diverticulitis.
Despite
this,
I
was
released
without
any
concern
for
a
blocked
colon
which
can
often
be
fatal
and
no
antibiotics
prescribed.
Instead
I
was
sent
home
to
lay
in
bed
for
2
straight
days
with
the
most
excruciating
pain
I’ve
ever
felt.
I
slept
under
8
blankets
because
I
was
so
cold
and
was
sweating
profusely
due
to
the
extreme
pain
I
was
in.
I’ll
NEVER
use
UNMC
again!
They
show
a
huge
lack
of
concern
for
their
patients
especially
if
you’re
uninsured.
I’m
sure
if
I
had
insurance
I
would
have
been
kept
overnight
for
observation
due
to
the
stool
burden.
At
minimum,
I
would
have
been
released
with
a
prescription
for
some
type
of
pain
medication
and
antibiotics.
Then
they
immediately
bill
me
$3800!!!
What
type
of
care
did
I
receive
for
this
outrageous
amount
of
money???
If
you
have
a
choice
then
stay
away
from
UNMC!
Unless
you
have
insurance
then
I’m
guessing
you’ll
be
taken
care!
Pathetic
people
with
a
lack
of
concern
for
the
patient.
It’s
all
about
that
bottom
dollar!!!
