1 /5 Jabeliz Valdez: Nursing staff were overall kind, helpful & attentive.. Doctors, however, were not. Doctors were extremely uneducated about my chronic illness & hid behind the scenes w/out reason or explanation as to why they were trying to administer medication that could potentially worsen my condition — keeping me out of the loop of what my results from testing & procedures were + having me sit in my room for hours w/out an update. Instead, they would sent corpsmen & nurses to administer medication + draw blood for labs they had no clue about (I know they had no clue because I would ask them and they would either say 1. they don’t know why, its just bc doctors ordered it or 2. they would explain the basic function w/out knowing the effects it could have on my condition & so I would have to sit there and explain to them why before declining). Doctors here should sit down and educate themselves for a minute on a patients condition even if they are unfamiliar with it. Having improper care = potential, unnecessary & preventable injuries + fatalities. I’m grateful to be well educated when it comes to my chronic illness, because I guarantee you if someone else with a chronic illness wasn’t — they would end up staying admitted for more days or even weeks having to recover from the mess that the doctors themselves created.
Need basic care? Sure. Need proper, well-versed professional care? Do not recommend.
