Came into the ER at 9:30pm for an asthma attack and was not treated with respect. No one did labs, swabs, or even a standard chest X-ray. I was stuck with an iv and a breathing treatment and was not told what kinds of medication I was receiving. When my friend went to ask for a doctor to come speak with me to try and figure out what was going on, the staff dismissed her. They just trying to get you out as quickly as possible so they don't have to deal with you.

I can't evaluate the Medical Center for people that actually reside in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I can do a fair evaluation for people that reside in towns and cities outside of Stillwater. For the doctors and staff that try to service patients on the two or three days per month that they visit, the results are ABOMINABLE, ABYSMAL, or other similar terms. I have been a patient of two of the three urologists for about three years. They have basically destroyed my urinary system. To start with, the facilities for proper examination are not in the offices outside Stillwater. To have most or all diagnostic instrumentation performed, it is necessary to make an appointment in Stillwater. Anything that requires hospital 0utpatient or Inpatient Services must also be done in the Stillwater Hospital. I went to the local office in Ponca City to have a UTI treated. The doctor failed to look at the documentation I provided on my symptoms, prior medications, a recent urinalysis result and culture, and what I thought might be useful. The doctor did not look at what I provided until I told him that some of the information he requested was in my documentation. He prescribed Bactrim for the UTI. Two weeks later, he said he had prescribed an antibiotic that was resistant to the Staphlococcus epidermidis bacteria. I said that I was aware of the mistake because I had to go to the Ponca City Alliance Hospital ER to use an indwelling catheter to void my bladder and get an antibiotic that was susceptible to the bacteria. Even with my insurance, the ER visit was expensive. I could write a book on the other inept decisions and therapy mistakes made by two of the three urologists that work in the Stillwater Urology Department. I was hospitalized twice, visited the Stillwater Urology offices three or more times for bleeding into my bladder. I was released from the Stillwater hospital while blood clots were still in my bladder which took three indwelling catheters installed by the Ponca City ER to finally clear the dozens of clots in my bladder. The cost was in the hundreds of dollars even with insurance, not to mention the stress, pain, and frustration I experienced. Yet I never failed to be billed for the "services" provided. I may look stupid, but thanks to the overreach of Stillwater Medical into towns and cities within 50 or more miles of Stillwater, we can't attract medical specialists that can actually reside in our towns and cities.
