Oh, my insurance was paying their salary - so they didn’t have to do a damned thing for me. Nada.
And, I was:
1. A classy lady
2. An intelligent lady
3. A lady that didn’t whine or yell or complain - (I just begged and pleaded)
4. An educated lady
5. A totally shocked and surprised lady - at the treatment I received.
And how was I discriminated against? I was weak - they were strong - and I had no choices but to take what I was given.
Wow I don’t know what to say except to report them to the Department of Health :(
Whenever you go into a hospital you need to have someone right there monitoring your care. Ideally it is a male and a lawyer or a physician. You need to have an advocate there constantly to insure you are getting the right tests, meds and even the right food.
Even with an advocate you’re not always safe. There was a woman who was a writer for the Boston Globe who went into a Boston hospital for chemotherapy. I think she was the health/medical writer and her husband was a lawyer. She and two other women were given the incorrect dose of chemo. She died from the error.
It’s best not to get sick and best to stay out of hospitals if you can.
