![]() ![]() I asked 20 times for something since Tums was not working. The only other complaint I had was severe acid reflux and heartburn. Finally they did a repeat hemo test but never gave me the results even after I asked. My heart rate corrected itself after an hour and I felt better. ![]() They left the blood dripping from the Iv overnight. She checked and it was 128 so they did remove the blood IV from my arm. My mother advised the nurse to check my heart rate every 15 min and if it goes above 120 to remove me off the blood. ![]() I again disagreed and called my mother who is an RN. Then she said maybe I was just angry because I didn't get released that day. I calmly told her no the movie was not an action movie and I've seen it 20 times before. I called the head nurse to complain she dismissed me and said the cause was the movie "The Truman Show" That I was watching. Within minutes of receiving the blood my heart started racing. Again I told him I felt great and didn't understand why my hemo level wasn't checked before giving me the second blood. After 5pm he came in with the second blood same thing too cold have to warm. I was annoyed but figured I would not be leaving the clinic that day. He then said 2 units were ordered but the other blood was not ready. The nurse didn't bring the blood until after 1pm and it was still cold so he had to wait until it was warm enough. I was told I would get the transfusion and then be released that day. I would have liked to keep the $250 blood deposit but I was fine to move forward because I just wanted to make it back home in the best health. I felt I did not because I have battled anemia and was fine at this level Yily insisted. My hemo was 9, the staff kept going back and forth about if I needed a blood transfusion. Dr yily came in at 7am, she was friendly we joked about my results and the nurses gave her an update. I was ok with how everything went so far but the next morning is when I started to regret my choices. The pain meds they gave via IV was ok, it last me about 2 hours but I bought my own so that was ok. When I woke I was happy I was awake but in a lot of pain. This made me very nervous but I had come too far to turn back. This happened once more then finally I was taken to the OR table. We go back to the OR they yell at each other again, and back I go to the holding area. I was taken back to the holding area and 10 minutes later she was back. Another guy that was in the OR began to yell and an argument started. About 20 minutes after taking the pill, the anesthesiologist came to get me for the surgery. We agreed on what she could do with my body and then the anesthesiologist came in with the blue pill. She was very down to earth, I liked her bedside manner. They took me to the 6th floor and after waiting 50 min Yily came with her assistant, She asked me what I wanted and marked my body. Luckily, I bought Clorox disinfectant wipes and my husband and I wiped down the bed and mattress. ![]() It was not cleaned well because there was blood splattered on the bed handles. Just before surgery I was first taken to my room, which was private but dated. The next day I had my surgery! They told me to come at 9am but I didn't have surgery until 2:45pm. There were about 9 other girls but we were all scheduled on different days throughout the week. Nothing was out of the ordinary or too stressful with the process so far. The second day I had my labs done, an initial work up and made payment. I liked that Yily would respond but it was annoying. Yily always had to get in touch with Loren on my behalf in order for me to get what I needed. My coordinator Loren never seemed available to answer my questions in fact it took me several trips to the bank to make my initial deposit because the wire information did not match. On 12/17/18 I had the surgery and I am doing relatively well but I did want to give an honest review for anyone considering the same journey. Yily because her work seemed awesome based on some the before and after pictures I had seen. After 4 years of research and nearly 20 years of hating my body I decided to face my fears, go to th D.R. ![]()
