Providence Portland Medical Center: "'Unprofessional and Dangerous.' I was admitted for hypoglycemia and chest pain. I am 70 and have 13 years of congestive heart failure, and also have Diabetes, Kidney Disease and Cancer. I was having horrible chest pain, with a blood pressure of 158 over 96. I pleaded for a pain shot, and was given 2 Tylenol and a plastic breather to use after major surgery. I was treated with disdain and suspicion, like I was a drug seeker, and was denied proper pain medication and empathy. I demanded my release, and was given a paper saying that I was leaving against medical advice, meaning my insurance could deny my entire claim. After this super elevated blood pressure around 2 PM, it was never checked again! Upon a proper discharge at 5:30 that I had to negotiate, my vitals were not checked! Nothing was ever checked again, probably because I'd irritated the doctor with my anger at my shoddy treatment. Not checking my vitals for hours was highly unprofessional as well as dangerous. I will not return. " - thomas
