Emergency Medicine Doctors - Sandwich, IL

"I went to the ER and Dr. Conrad was just simple rude. You know people with chronic health condition may have to use the ER, which is what I avoid. When he 1st greeted me for about 20 seconds and left the room I asked the nurse "is he mad?" and she explained that's "how he is," not off to a good start. I was in a lot of pain, chronic pancreatitis and had been feeling horrible. I'd had an appointment with my own MD that day but he left that day for a family emergency. I have no doubt he considered me a GOMER (get out of my emergency room). He wanted to provide Toradol IV but im allergic to this (hives, rash, fever, lip swelling and this is medically documented) but he was going to give it with benadryl. Im not sure if thats standard of care giving patients medicine they've allergic to. But the least he could of talked to me what he was planning with me. I had to ask the nurse what are giving me? And she told me. My friend who called me as I was in the ER and she is a RN and I explained what was going on after telling her I dont think he believes that I'm sick and she immediately said he thinks your a drug seeker. I dont do drugs. Last time I'd got any type of pain medication was after my hip replacement 5 years ago. He spent more time trying to confirm my history of pancreatitis and the ERCPs but was unable to contact my primary doctor or the GI doctor. Its pretty degrading to realize that Dr Conrad wasnt believing me and a drug seeker. I do not abuse the ER, last time there was 2018, and I was treated so well. It was a devastating experience to think the doctor felt that way towards me.😢 "
