i went to to the emergency room for my foot pain..i got admitted..got sent to a room..waited about 20 minutes..then....this happened..i open the door and i see the doctor and a caseworker..i ask them how much longer it was gonna take because my foot really hurts.the caseworker responded by telling me all 'your gonna be here all night" i told her i wasn't in a joking mood this is serious my foot really hurts ..the doctor then told me you're gonna have to wait a few more minutes we are busy .i told her my foot really hurts i've been waiting like 20 minutes..she said there were really busy..i told her why were the nurse laughing and taking there sweet time....she told me "im kicking you out" ..refused to see me and called security..i told them i need some kind of discharge paper stating what happened..they told me no..i called the police..they came ..talked to the doctor..and basically..she was the only doctor in e.r she felt uncomfortable seeing me so she kicked me out the emercegency room..the cops told me if i go back int he e.r i will be arrested for trespassing...this happened at kaiser in california...my question is can i sue the doctor?kaiser?do i have rights? what should and can i do
i waited in the lobby for about 20 minutes prior to the additional 20 minutes..i wasn't arguing with the doctor..i was just "reminding" them that my foot really hurts..and if i was 'arguing "with the m.d does that constitute her not to treat and diagnose me..clearly she violated some form of patient and/or federal law?
a lil more detail when i was waiting i heard the nurse/staff laughing and.b.s/casual socializing.... i opened the door and unit was empty..that's why i went in after 20 minutes of waiting..i wasn't disruptive yelling or belligerent i was just wondering what was taking so long..plus the caseworkers unprofessionalism c'mon you're in e.r.
