I wanted to share a really troubling experience I had at the x-ray department of Piedmont Hospital.
 

 It all started after I made a complaint about how I was treated in the emergency room last year, specifically in August 2023. 

I went in again due to chest pain, and while they weren't busy, the staff treated me poorly. After I left, I discovered that the nurse had written false statements in my medical chart, which only added to my frustrations.

I ended up being hospitalized from October 15, 2023, to November 8, 2023, because I had a serious MRSA infection. In my spine During my time in the hospital, I was bedridden and in extreme pain, and unfortunately, the treatment I received just didn't improve my situation. I lost 25 pounds because the nurses were unsympathetic and didn’t provide me with any soup or the one type of cereal that I was able to eat.

To make matters worse, they even removed the second chair from my room, which meant my son could no longer sit with me. I was also disturbed by how frequently they asked me if I was an organ donor. It felt like a terrible thing to even suggest, making me feel as though they were trying to push me towards something awful. I firmly said no, and I couldn't believe the nerve of them for even bringing it up.

During my stay, I was given only one bag of blood, which left me feeling incredibly weak. This lack of care meant I was unwell during Thanksgiving and Christmas, just because they didn’t provide me with more blood when I obviously needed it.

 I have been harassed in the xray department staff. Even though I was still feeling bad. Recovering from my surgery and MRSA infection. They did not care about the undue stress was causing my heart.

 After the heart attack on 06/17/2023. How dare they ask me if I was an organ donor. During my hospital stay. I took this an insult as if they were wanting me to die.

 Making money is more important to them. Than saying my life. Truly sickening!

Most recently, I experienced something truly shocking. The x-ray tech literally stabbed a needle into my arm, causing me pain. On top of that, I was left waiting for longer periods while I watched other patients being called back without any issues. It feels like a cruel joke, where they give you patient rights but snatch them away as soon as you voice a complaint.

My son or i have never done anything to be treated so badly it’s discrimination I don’t understand why they think we should put up with their abuse

AUTHOR: Cathy - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, November 23, 2024

It’s truly a source of deep frustration and heartbreak for both my son and me. We are forced to navigate through this challenging and distressing ordeal that seems to have no end in sight.
 

 This situation arises despite the fact that my son is innocent and bears no responsibility for the difficulties we are facing. He suffers from gout issues, a condition that brings him significant pain and discomfort on a regular basis.
 

 Unfortunately, his doctor's office has made the troubling decision to refuse to refill his medication, which is essential for managing his health. It's puzzling because they filled his prescription just recently on September 10, 2024.
 

 This refusal feels like an intentional act of complication, as it appears they are routinely making things difficult for me and my family. 

It's fundamentally unjust how my son is subjected to discrimination and unfair treatment, yet the individuals responsible deny that they have ever engaged in such behavior. My son and I have borne the burden of numerous injustices over time, and it has become increasingly disheartening to witness how those in positions of authority can evade accountability for their actions.
 

 The staff in most Alabama doctors offices,  involved continuously violate our civil rights without facing consequences, leaving us feeling powerless and marginalized in a system that is supposed to protect us.

 This ongoing struggle is not just a matter of health but also of fundamental human dignity and fairness, which we desperately seek in our lives.
