My daughter went to the ER between 6 and 7 on a Sunday morning, diagnosed with appendicitis and should've been taken immediately to surgery but surgery wasn't performed until 2:00 pm. Her appendix were already leaking by that time which caused problems for her. She was in the hospital for 6 days with high white cell count, severe pain, and fever. They sent her home on Saturday, still in a lot of pain and with a low grade fever. On Sunday she went back to the ER for the pain and was given some pain pills and sent home after being told, "well, it's gonna hurt." On Monday she started running a high fever and called the doctor's office and was told to go back to the ER. He met her there and they did a CT scan and found that she had an abscess in her abdomen. She had another emergency surgery that night and spent another week in the hospital. After being home for less than two weeks she made another trip to the ER for pain. They did another CT scan and the abscess is still there. They gave her antibiotics thinking that will get rid of it. In my opinion, if they had taken her to surgery as soon as they diagnosed her, things would've been different. They waited so long that she started to rupture. If the antibiotics doesn't take care of the abscess, that means another surgery. If that happens, I will do everything in my power to keep her from going back there. Aside from all that, their cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. There were bugs (dead and alive) all over the floors. They were in the rooms and in the halls. My daughter had to knock some off her bed at times.
