I arrived at ECH by private vehicle at 11:30PM on a Saturday. Immediately prior I had been experiencing faintness, a numb/weak sensation in the right arm and BP was about 180/100, causing me to fear a stroke.

The nurse was sitting right next to the receptionist , and after filling out the registration form, she took my BP which was 178/104. I was immediately given a Ativan pill and taken to one of the ER cubicle rooms, never had to even sit down. For the next two hours or so I was given a battery of tests including a CAT scan. Preliminary tests were negative for stroke, but BP remained elevated. It was suggested I be admitted for observation and undergo a MRI later in the morning.

Even though my only measurable symptom was hypertension, everyone took my case seriously and I did not receive the impression I was wasting their time.

  • 9-3-2021 An ambulance transported me to Christus Spohn hospital in Beeville due to breathing issues, severe headaches, fever and confusion. They completely misdiagnosed me even though I was having those symptoms and doctor Joshua J White DO falsified several details on the medical report. Then they had me transported to their psychiatric hospital in Corpus Christi where I was told that my family put me in there and if I didn't take the med's I was never getting out. For three days I was disregar...
