What a disaster at the Mayo Clinic ER. I went there at the recommendation of my PCP. I was treated, actually mistreated, by ER physician Rick Arnold, MD. In my opinion he is incompetent. When I questioned him he became arrogant and had security sent to my room. I guess some doctors feel they are above explaining their treatment plan.
Beware of the Mayo Clinic ER. He actually gave me medications to take that the pharmacist said were dangerous to take together. This is, in my opinion, a dangerous place especially if you have to deal with the incompetent "Dr." Rick Arnold.
This, as it turns out, is the same "doctor" who treated my father when he was transported to the ER with heart attack symptoms at the request of his PCP. Arnold sent him home without a cardio consult and as it turns out he had two blockages in his heart in excess of 80% and was admitted days later by the cardiologist for surgery.
I went to St. Joseph's Medical Center the next day and was treated with the dignity and respect that "Dr." Arnold proved incapable of providing.
