Stanford Univ. Pain Mgmt. Cent

I tried it three different times and I have never seen so many people crying, because they have been waiting. One guy was waiting for 8 hours. During one of my visits there all the seats were taken and I was standing for a long time. I was waiting, waiting and waiting for my appointment. I thought I was going to faint. And this guy got out of chair to give it to me and he was in a real bad shape, and he could hardly move. I passed out and I was on the floor due to the pain. I was lying on the floor and that was really bad for my back. My husband was parking the car so he wasn’t there. Nobody came to attend to me; all the workers were standing and it was horrible. I don’t recommend anybody to go there and doctors have told me not to go there anymore. I haven’t been there in years. They gave me a drug and it wasn’t enough for me, I asked for a stronger dose because I was in pain, and I had to fight with the doctor for it. Every time you go there, you have a whole new set of doctors. They don’t like it, so they move on. At one time they put me in a room to wait and a doctor came in and yelled at me saying I looked awful and had to dress better. I was wearing good clothes, and I was clean. The doctor was unprofessional. I didn’t say anything to my doctor because she was nice and she quit. It was completely uncalled for, he was not my doctor. I complained about it and the next time I went there, they tried to be really sweet and they were making it up, so I told them they are being sweet because I made a complaint. At one point my throat was closing up and the lady beside me called for a nurse as I couldn’t breathe and she said I have never had this happen before. The lady asked her to hurry up and get a doctor. There were five people working on me and I was very scared.
