Franciscan St Margaret Health - Dyer: "I will never willing go to Dyer hospital again. I was I severe pain. My neurologist sent to er to be evaluated for pain. They should have, at the very least, called my doctor. They gave me a narcotic that they TOLD ME doesn't help my condition, and sent me out the door with the same level of horrendous pain. They said they couldn't increase my current medications without my doctors approval, yet never called my doctor. When the nurse gave me the pill, it was so painful to take it that my whole body jerked and I nearly threw the cup. I was in agony. The nurse's response was to look down, and not look at me." - Susan
