Cleveland Clinic

On 2/7/2023 I was taken by ambulance to the Richard E. Jacobs Avon Cleveland Clinic at roughly 21:55 with excruciating chest pain. They did the normal cardiac work up and thankfully didn’t find anything. I had told them over and over again of a new medication I started a week prior to this event and no one was the least bit interested. I was discharged at 12:50 with no transportation home having exhausted all avenues. (Uber, Lyft, Westlake Cab, Yellow cab and Americab)

After not being able to find any transportation while making all these calls in the ER waiting room, I went back to the nurses station to tell them I had exhausted ever possible avenue. They called security and I was told to leave the premises. I asked for some blankets as I only had pajamas and slippers on. I was forced to walk two miles home! At 1:00am in 38 degree weather to a street with no sidewalks north of the Hospital.

Zero Concern for my Safety! Put me at risk of exposure to the winter temperatures, being kidnapped or hit by a car to say the least of so many things completely wrong with that!

I have PTSD AND FIBROMYALGIA no regard for how this has effected me. Apparently they decided It was all mental, they haven’t even called to check on me.

Next day I saw the prescribing doctor of the new medication and he said what I experienced was a known side effect from the new medication.

Not once did anyone even go over my medications with me.

That place is a death trap!

Knee replacement complications. I have had a total knee replacement five months ago and things are not going right. I have come in to see the surgeon Dr Kolczin three times and he has assured me that he has never seen anyone with the complaints I am dealing with in regards to my pain. I really find that hard to believe after talking to many people that have hit a TKR. I did go to pain management with no results. I don't want to cover up a problem with the Drug, find out what the problem is and fix it. There is definitely something wrong I can't sleep at night getting out of a chair is very painful and going up and down steps. I did all my physical therapy and it is not better. Now my good knee has become a bad knee as well. I find it very difficult to function every day. I need to have an MRI or have somebody get down to the bottom of this before it escalates. Please advise.
