I entered Centennial Medical Center in Ashland City, TN in October with stomach pain to the ER at 3 am in October. I was diagnosed with pancreatitis and sent for bloodwork, CAT scans and other unexplained tests that were never shown to me. An IV was inserted in the inside crook of my elbow which was always causing pain and leaking and coming out as I slept. The nurses were brutal saying I was "ripping out" the IV and causing the alarm to go off, when in fact I was perfectly still and the alarm still went off.
When I asked for the alarm sound to be turned down, the nurse refused and came less and less to either reset the IV or tone the sound down.
