Corning Hospital Stories
Oct 07, 2015, 3:11 PM
Corning Hospital: "I had a severe stomach pain. A small red spot, the size of a dime, appeared immediately after the pain hit. I went to Corning Hospital for treatment. After routine blood work, a CT scan and two morphine doses, I was given the option of staying overnight and be treated for pain or going home with pain medication. The Nurse Practioner told me it was either a gas pain or a muscle spasm. I NEVER saw a doctor. The spot from which the pain radiated from had grown to about 2 inches while I was there. They had looked at it and disregarded it.
The next morning I went to Arnot Ogden ER where they actually treated the contagious staph infection on my stomach with an antibiotic and gave me a pain medication that did not make my eyes swell half shut. Corning Hospital ER is literally going to kill someone with their incompetence. This last visit definitely showed me how dangerous it is to go there for treatment.
Later I found out from my doctor that Corning Hospital ER stated in my medical record that it was a belly button infection! I showed him a picture of it and he could not believe how Corning Hospital ER had handled it. He held his head and shook it from side to side saying �Oh my God!!�
