Midland Memorial Hospital: "Went to the emergency room on Illinois on Thursday night. I had blood running down my face and a yellow substance coming from my left ear. I had no idea what it was and with the most excruciating pain I've ever had in my ears. I called an ambulance because my balance had become non-existent and I was afraid to drive. First thing that happened was the ambulance driver asking me if I thought an earache warranted a ride in the ambulance. WTF!!! I didn't want to have to call an ambulance at all. I needed help. Then at the hospital I was told I had an ear infection. I was given two pain shots, an anti-nausea shot, and sent home. I asked them if I needed an antibiotic for the infection and I was told no. Huh? By Monday, I was delirious with pain and my right ear began to pour blood. I was basically deaf in both ears by then and I had developed Bells Palsy on the left side of my face. I went back to the er Monday night. He said I had infections in both my ears. I asked what they usually prescribed for infections and I was told antibiotics. I said I had been there in the er on Thursday night and asked about antibiotics and was not given any. I believe if I had been, the return trip on Monday night would not have been necessary. I was given a CT Scan and more pain meds. I never saw the doctor again and I had to walk out of the room and was not wheeled out in a wheelchair even though I could barely walk a straight line. I once again left the er without being given a single antibiotic for severe infections in both ears and Bell's palsy.. I was sent home with a prescription for pain meds, an oral tablet for the ear infection and NOTHING for the paralysis of my face. If I ever have to go to the er again, I won't be going to Midland Memorial. " - Anonymous
