I was admitted to the heart hospital yesterday while experiencing tight squeezing pain in my chest, pain and numbness in my left arm, dizziness and shortness of breath. My mother and 4 children drove me to the hospital. They waited in the waiting room and came back to say goodbye once I was admitted. Dr. Mopelola ( now nick-named Dr. Mopey by my family) was in the room and extremely rude to my family, rushing them out. When they left she said "alright then" and proceed in a condescending tone. Every time she visited my room she made sure to tell me "it's not like your 80". In other words my symptoms meant less to her since I am only 35.
Through the night my BP went down to 77/47. Nurses told me to ask for help before getting up. In the morning she was in and I had to go so I asked her to call for a nurse and told her why. She laughed and said "you can walk. You aren't 80".
I came in at 7 on the pain scale. I was discharged at 8 on a pain scale. I was vomintting, had chest pains (squeezing under my sternum) and was in tears begging to stay. I have 4 children. I know my body. I do not feel right. Perhaps if I were 80 that would matter to Dr. Mopelola.
