Substandard Care and Discriminatory Treatment: You experienced delays in receiving care and felt discriminated against due to your medicinal cannabis use, leading to a misdiagnosis of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) without proper evaluation.
Neglectful Conduct of Medical Staff: The attending doctor failed to communicate effectively, dismissed your concerns, and demonstrated neglectful behavior. Nurses were unresponsive and mishandled your medication, even implying drug abuse.
Inappropriate Treatment and Premature Discharge: The prescribed medication exacerbated your symptoms, and you were discharged prematurely without ensuring your ability to manage your symptoms effectively.
Lack of Proper Diagnosis and Diagnostic Procedures: No proper diagnostic tests were conducted to rule out CHS or identify the real cause of your symptoms. Simple tests that could have provided clarity were not performed.
Refusal to Accommodate: The hospital refused to accommodate your request for a later ultrasound appointment, despite the necessity and practicality of the procedure.
Disregard for Patient Concerns: Your concerns and suggestions, backed by credible sources, were dismissed without proper consideration, indicating a disregard for patient input and well-being.
