Why is it that when St.Thomas doctors become stumped as to what to do then their first thing to do is "discharge" the patient before even trying to find out the cause of the problem. They only seem to know how to treat the symptom but not the cause.

Dear dear Stephanie.. Although your reply is correct in it's most simple form, or if it's a sinus infection. You didnt ask genius. Great you probably work there. Ii got this Ken. When you're talking about LIFE THREATENING INJURIES, they HAVE to know what's causing it before they can even treat to save a patients life. Bleeding or the cause of a life threatening injury is very important, or it can happen again, God forbid after they discharge ya.

The emergency room is for life threatening emergencies if you want a diagnosis go to a pcp or a specialist unless your dying. They know how to save your life

I went to the ER this week. The Doctor and ancillary staff were excellent. They continued to run tests until they figured it out. I stayed in hospital 3 days. I am so grateful for the care I received.

They treated me great.

They didn’t save my grandmas life! They gave her medications that slowed her heart rate and than they would give her drugs that would speed it up they abused her and caused her heart so much stress knowing she had high blood pressure and heart problems, all the stress caused her heart to stop beating.

FL has this same issue if You are not at Mayo Clinic, or down South / unable to diagnose accurately...

I dont view it that way
