St Joseph Hospital: "Was very sick at time , went in with severe headaches and stomach problems last February 21 when I was taken back to room , a nurse came in and started Iv and started my blood pressure on my left arm . The Dr. Walk in and started yelling at me why was I rhere and what was my problem .
, he was very aggressive I looked at him and was trying to answer his questions ,but he just yelled the same thing at me at that point I was not able to answer him . My whole body stiffened right up and I sieved up the Dr in the meantimes just walk out angry saying I would not answer him . I could hear what was being said the nurse kept yelling at the Dr to get back in there . They then gave me a shot don’t remember anything till I was woken up by anther Dr. And nurse who were in the room I thought I was dreaming . This Dr at the time asked me if I wanted to be resuscitated. I was so doped up and was having such a wonderful dream of peace I told him no . They said I had a seizure and put me on meds for it .I was so delusional from the meds as far as I know it was the first and only seizure I have had . No one came and talked to me about what was wrong only that they did a scan and didn’t see anything and discharged me. I went in because the place I live there were fumes coming thru the walls making me sick ,for the past week I was throwing up and headache and dizzy . I was already having allergies from the smoking in housing unit that was supposed to be nonsmoking. And I have just recently found out that someone is hacking into my account and messing with test results . Am I being black balled by a certain Dr . ? My experience is not good . I should sue , I have a witness who was in the emergency room at time . " - Henry
