Hospital Horror

Reader Rating: 8.1

I was a patient at Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill, PA from April though May of 2004. When I first went to their emergency room, they turned me away, and told me to go home. I went to their emergency room three more times, before they finally admitted me to their hospital. While in their hospital, I was given a handful of tests. On the morning of May, 15, I was having severe back pains. They refused to call a Neurologist in to give me
menthyl-prednizone, the only steroid used to quell severe back pain.

Finally, that evening they decided to call a Neurologist in to give me menthyl-prednizone. By then, it was far too late. I was already paralyzed, and the prednizone was unable to take effect for that reason.

If they had only had taken the care to have called the Neurologist in several hours earlier while I was complaining of severe back pain, I would still be able to walk presently.
