My son waited in the ER for more than 2 hours while being told he'd be next. I seen cold/flu symptoms and lower back pain prioritized over him. This is not the first time this has happened. After 2 hours he walked out. We had no car so I began walking with him. He collapsed into a tonic clinic seizure along the road. I was able to get him home and treat him with an emergency dose of medicine and then get a prescription for him from his own doctor later. I lost one son to this genetic disease. I hoped the ER would be someplace to go for help. I guess they need more training about nuerological diseases and what constitutes an emergency! Yes, I'm still upset!
When nonconvulsive status epilepticus occurs or is suspected, emergency medical treatment in a hospital setting is needed. EEG testing may be needed to confirm the diagnosis first. People with this type of status are also at risk for convulsive status epilepticus, thus quick treatment is required.
Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus
Place is a joke went in with knee pain and they didn't believe me treated me like a addic what a joke
This term is used to describe long or repeated absence or complex partial seizures.
These situations can be harder to recognize than convulsive seizures. Symptoms are more subtle and it's hard to tell seizure symptoms from the recovery period.
Waited for over 4 hours with severe abdominal pain when my primary doctor thought I might have appendicitis. Earaches were prioritized above me. Its extremely rude to just assume someone is there looking for narcotics, when they are in the worst pain of their life. I just left because my health was obviously not a priority. I just hope my appendix doesn't burst.
I have been waiting for two hours in their ER and still have not been seen. I would be better off driver to Monticello.
On top of that there is an elderly couple that have not been seen either and they have been here longer then me.
The person may be confused or not fully aware of what is going on, but they are not 'unconscious', like in a tonic clonic seizure.
I was a patient therefor a 5 day procedure, my experience was excellent I found every nurse on the neurology floor.to be knowledgeable,and dedicated to her patients.There now is a plethora of work on a computer,they are used for everything from medications to data in a report of my progress.Most amazing was the food, it was pretty darn good!
There is no consistent time-frame on when these seizures are called an emergency. It depends in part on how long a person's typical seizures are and how often they occur.
