| - I really, really wanted to have a good experience at McKinley. However, since I've been on campus (since Fall 2008), I've only ventured to McKinley about five times. Of those five times, I've only left there feeling better on ONE occasion, and even that had its major downfalls. I came in right at 8 AM one morning this past September with a piercing, persistent migraine in which I was seen promptly by a doctor. I was then injected with two different medications in both of my hips and I was not told what the medications were--even after asking to have copies of the information so I could forward it to my doctor at home. A nurse told me, "we do not disclose that information to our patients". Excuse me, but if I was just treated with heavy medication, I believe I have the right to know what it was called, especially if I could have a negative reaction to it later on.
I also went into McKinley TWICE this past February for a severe, hacking dry cough and was only given the run-of-the-mill cough syrup which didn't do me any good. The doctors told me I simply had a cold, but after about a month and a half of coughing my lungs out, I went to a real doctor at home and was told I had bronchitis and was given antibiotics and REAL cough syrup that worked. McKinley HATES giving out antibiotics for some reason since every ailment you have must be a "cold" or "just a cough".
My advice-- avoid this place and go home for the weekend to be treated by real doctors who actually want you to get better.
