WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE! I was visiting family in Burleson and became ill with extreme abdominal pain and uncontrollable vomiting. My wife took me to this ER because it was the closest one to my in-laws house. I was unfortunately seen by Amrita K Nanda MD and explained to her that this was not the first time I have been hospitalized for this same problem. I have been in and out of the hospital for 15+ years with the same symptoms and the doctors have been unable to determine what is wrong with me. I was in excruciating pain and Dr. Nanda refused to give me different medications to help ease the pain. She ran a bunch of tests though and I waited 2 hours for the test results to come back. Dr. Nanda came into the room and said that she couldn't find anything wrong with me and was going to discharge me. I explained to her that I was still in a lot of pain and extremely dehydrated and that her releasing me is unethical. I refused to sign a release form and asked the nurse to remove the IV so that I could go and find real hospital. After doing some research I learned that Dr Nanda broke the law by discharging me in an unstable condition. According to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act a hospital may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent or stabilization of the patient. My wife ended up running me around town trying to find a legitimate hospital to treat me and I suffered for an additional 5-6 hours before I ended up at Huguely in Fort Worth where they took very good care of me! They even admitted me to the hospital after I was stabilized in order to monitor my condition. As soon as I got home I requested my medical records from Medical City ER and was surprised to see that Dr Nanda stated on my paperwork that I REFUSED TREATMENT! This is an outright lie and my wife was there to witness the whole situation. I will be seeking legal assistance to go after the hospital. I am also uninsured and feel like this played a big role in Dr Nanda's decision to release me in that condition.
