El viernes a las 8pm aproximadamente llevé a mi hijo porque tenía dolor de cuerpo y mucha fiebre. Al llegar el doctor lo valoró y mientras lo hacía le preguntó que donde trabajaba. Posteriormente... more le indica que deben hacerle exàmenes de laboratorio y mientras le ponen suero y medicación por medio de vía intravenosa. Al llegar el funcionario del laboratorio trata de sacarle sangre pero no lo logra así que por segunda vez lo pincha y le mueve la aguja dentro de él y nada así que por tercera vez lo pincha en la mano y al fin saca la sangre. Mientras ese proceso se lleva a cabo mi hijo està amormilado por la medicación recibida, reacción que me había comentado el doctor antes de aplicarla. Inmediatamente después de que le extrajeran la sangre el ritmo cardiaco se le subió por lo que el doctor me indica que tiene que pasarlo a una cama, monitorearlo y mandarle màs exàmenes de laboratorio, radiografías y posiblemente una punción lumbar. Mientras el doctor me explica esto mi hijo se despierta, se le ha bajado ya el ritmo cardiaco y me dice que se encuentra mejor. Le explico yo, no el doctor, lo que quieren hacerle y él me dice que no, que mejor lo lleve al Calderón ya que todos esos exàmenes son muy caros allí. Le indico al doctor que no haremos los segundos exàmenes y que esperaremos los resultados de los primeros exàmenes. Cuando llegan el doctor le dice a mi hijo que se està poniendo peor y se va, luego mi hijo me dice que se siente bien y que se quiere ir. Le indico al doctor que lo llevaré al Calderón y me dice que debe irse en una ambulancia privada, no en mi carro. Le hago caso y me piden una ambulania, mientras que llega la misma mi hijo se siente mucho mejor. Cuando llega la ambulancia salimos de la Católica sin diagnóstico alguno. Ya en la ambulancia mi hijo toma la decisión de que lo dejen en su casa de habitación porque se siente mejor. Hoy sábado temprano fué a la Clínica Unibe y una vez valorado por la doctora le dijo que tiene una infección viral...... a la tica la quiebra hueso. Ademàs se extrañó , la doctora de la Unibe, la forma en que abordaron a mi hijo en la Católica.
Por supuesto que hoy tenemos dudas razonables sobre el porque tantos exàmenes que querían hacerle? Ademàs nos parece poco ético de parte del doctor decirle a un paciente " te estàs poniendo peor" e irse. Y lo peor, ¿como un médico que trabaja en un hospital como La Católica no pudo o no ... diagnosticar una clara quiebra huesos?
Por supuesto que después de esta mala experiencia, y de otras opiniones negativas de amigos, NO volveré a ir ni a llevar a mis hijos allí.
