I went to the emergency room at RHD aka RH Dedman hospital. (no wonder they changed the name) The hospital staff was nothing short of miserable. After watching the intake nurse yell at a woman in labor to get up and walk 25feet to sign a paper, I guess the nurse couldn't be bothered to walk to the woman who is about to spew a baby from her loins. I knew then I should have left, but was in pain so I waited. Finally they call my name, I go to the back and they take my temperature. I get moved to another room where I sit for an hour while listening to the doctor in the hallway complain about being there and how he wanted to play golf.
Also the nurses have no problem discussing their sex lives, complaining about patients, etc. All while there is a hospital full of patients. Finally the doctor comes in, takes my temperature again. I started to explain my problem and he is obviously not even listening or looking at me. He turns around and says "go to an ear nose throat doctor". And left the room. He wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic ($40) that I didn't even need. Then a nurse rushes in with paper work saying she needs $175 dollars for payment. Like a fool I paid.
Then a week later they inform me I owe an additional $65 dollars!"For what" I asked and no one would tell me for what. I went to a regular M.D. 2 days later and he fixed me right up in his tiny office and said he could not believe they let me leave the hospital like that. I would AVOID this hospital at all costs! You would have better luck recovering in a gutter on the street. The gutter would probably be cleaner than RHD anyway.
