I went to the Health Central ER this morning, The triage nurse was very nice and helpful. She led me back to a bed where I sat in excrusiating pain from an infection in my mouth. You did not have to be a genius to see that I was in significant pain from a tooth infection since my face was so swollen my eye was swollen shut and it looked like a football was neatly tucked in my cheek. I waited 45 min until a Dr walked in ....looked at me and states ""you need to see a dentist"", there is nothing I can do for you. When I began to cry and express to him the agonizing pain I was in he told me ""I am not here to be yelled at"" My husband defended me and let him know I am not yelling, just in a lot of pain and the friday before Christmas there are no dentist that will see me...please help ....he then stated he would give me an injection of antibiotic (Rocephin) at this point I knew I needed to leave. Since it was written very clear on my chart and wrist band that I am allergic to rocephin. Do NOT go to this hospital.....ORMC is a drive but it is worth your life.
