Novant Health needs to be shut down!!
Updated: I spent the morning in Novant Emergency room and was diagnosed with pneumonia. My blood oxygen level never raised about 92 the entire time I was there. Yet I was discharged even though I was told by the doctor that I had a mass in my left lung. As I was leaving, I was told by my nurse that they are trying to not admit anyone because the hospital is over run with patients and they do not have the staff to take care of patients! The entire 3 hours that I was there I saw a dr. Maybe 5 minutes total and I was monitored for about 30 minutes because some dickhead name Kyle kept coming over and taking my equipment, my water and anything else that was given to me! I have had pneumonia 2 times before and my blood oxygen levels were worse than 92 and I was admitted both times before. My nurse was surprised that they were releasing me. This is a terrible human hospital and goes to show what happens when hospitals merge together! Standard of care is reduced in order to increase profits. I am Now debating if I should drive to Raleigh to get treatment. They told me to follow up with my me of their doctors and after calling them. They are booked up until February. I am beyond frustrated with this and curious if other experiences similar situations
