University Medical Center: "Told me my poor reaction to caffeine was due to my new mental disorder “Cannabis Use Disorder”, which apparently is a disorder you have if you’ve ever smoke marijuana. If you ask me, that’s unprofessional. I went there because my pulse was weak and they focused more on the marijuana in my system than the fact that my heart wasn’t functioning properly. What a joke. I was forced to go here due to my lack of healthcare and now that I have it, I will never be returning to this greedy sack of crap. Like I told them I had a UTI, I guess they didn’t believe me because now I have to pay $250 for a C/T scan I DID NOT need (they came back and told me I had a bladder infection haha aren’t they just great). Not to mention the time I was dehydrated and it took a whole team of 5 nurses to epically fail to put an IV in my arm and left a massive bruise, and guess what?? I still was not properly treated. So yea, think twice before entering potential death because they really do not care about their jobs. " - Shelbie
