1 /5 Ashley Vickers: I went to this ER because I had the most intense, painful experience I’ve ever had in my life. Seemingly out of nowhere, I had unbearable pain in my lower abdomen/ovarian area, to the point I started to vomit. My husband took me to the ER and all they did was do blood work before trying to send me home. I asked if the blood work would show any cysts or potential issues in the area I was experiencing pain and they said no. So I INSISTED they do an ultrasound and expressed my confusion as to why that wouldn’t be a first step?
From there, the Dr came in and said there was nothing to be concerned about and sent me home. When I gave my primary care Dr the paper work they gave me (results of the ultrasound sound), she was VERY concerned as there were two large fibroids the ER Dr didn’t even mention, which turned out the be the source of my pain.
They also tried to charge me for a trasvaginal ultrasound in addition to the transabdominal ultrasound, which they never did. Double check your bills and get a second opinion. It was very clear to me the Drs at this hospital could care less about their patients.
