Where do i start, i got up at about 4:30 am freezing , i had a fever took some tylenol and went back to bed, woke up at 10 am and tried to talk and couldn't had a bad cough, my daughter called and i could manage a whisper and she called my PCP doctor and being i just had this heart surgery 4 months ago and i was sick that i really needed to go to the ER which was a mistake, i sat for 5 hours and an hour in the back not once did they do an EKG , never listened to my heart, i told them i had HCM and CHF and that i had just had a septal myectomy, the doctor never brought up the disease nothingthey took an x-ray of my chest and said they were going to treat it as broncitis and gave me antibiotics and sent me home i was soo mad, i was trying to yell at them and and the more i talked the squeakier my voice got so i just sat and cried, my husband went and found the big wig of the hospital and told them what was going on and he sounded like he could care less about what was going on , and then once i said well he isn't the head of Sentara systems he came to attention and they gave my check back to me for my copay for the ER which was a 100 dollars but they still didn't do an EKG and noone checked my heart so i don't think i will not be going back there, sorry i just had to vent or explode, everyone take care
