Bryn Mawr Hospital

Came in for an abcess on my leg. A student accidentally kicked me and due to blood pressure meds the leg was swollen so a hematoma develops. I have some high blood pressure and a kidney transplant so they admit me. Instead of sending in nephrologists and cardiologists I get a floor doctor who is supposedly consulting with these specialists. A foot dr. (?) bursts the hematoma and then wraps it. I am given some Iv antibiotics and told they will culture the fluid. I am to be seen by infectious disease. I never do see infectious disease. They abruptly stop the antibiotics cause I don't need them and no they are not going to culture the fluids from my leg NOT FOOT! They wrap my leg up super tight and disappear Two days later I have to unwrap it and the nurse is not sure if I can shower or not because of the hematoma. UH how about contact a dr.? I was pretty happy that they were going to address the blood pressure issues. The meds I was on were not working well. How do they go about this? They start dosing me with the blood pressure med round the clock even giving it to me through IV. It congests me and clogs my ears and my blood pressure never gets below 160. I complain some and ask for a different drug. Nurse states they do not change your meds while you are an inpatient just try to adjust them. Well since the floor doctor I am seeing does not appear to have any type of specialty medical degree maybe he should stay away from blood pressure meds. All the while they are taking blood work and my creatinine level is `getting super high. I may need dialysis. I finally just checked myself out. My discharge papers list all the specialists that my floor doctor was supposedly consulting. I saw him every morning at 8 am and then not again till the following day. So if you want to watch tv in an overpriced room go here. If you want real medical help keep driving. I keep hearing this place is going down the drain, yes it is. I was actually healthier before I was admitted. I was also given a variety of diet plans that included regular with no concentrated sweets, diabetic, low sodium and pureed! Who is in charge? I was injected with Procrit an expensive,long term therapy for anemia. Don't know when I'll receive another dose of it since I am not currently receiving it from any of my health providers, and have not in years. Except for Bryn Mawr billing my insurance the benefits of that were nothing. I also was injected daily with a blood thinner to prevent blood clots in my legs although I was only there for three days and have never needed a blood thinner or had any history of blood clots. I do have high blood pressure that is due to renal insufficiency NOT STROKE OR HEART ATTACK!! Why would I need a blood thinner, two days in bed? These people were taking shots in the dark. I was discharged with no instructions for caring for my leg but to follow up with podiatry. No follow up at all with Nephrology.. Advice to see my primary care doctor who I see for colds not kidney transplant or even blood pressure ( I have plenty of specialists) and then they scheduled me an appointment with Dr George Chamoun for April 11 No one mentioned this to me and he is not my cardiologist. Clearly no one listened to me in any effort to gather pertinent information and help me This is just a huge insurance scam. Update: I was contacted by my nephrologist today (a Bryn Mawr physician) who was never notified i was an inpatient. Nice!
