This hospital should be sued for malpractice.

I went to San Antonio Medical Center in Upland, California, and this hospital was by far one of the worst hospitals I have ever been to.
How can an ER doctor not know the what a tremor seizure is, and how can he tell me that there isn't much he can do for continual seizures?
My boyfriend and I took his sister to the hospital last night because she was having continual seizures, and the doctors had no clue how to treat her. The nurse even had the guts to try and defend the doctor who was just medicating my boyfriend's sister and not even trying to find out why here seizures kept going. The doctor even had the gall to tell us, "Well, we can keep medicating her, or we can paralyze her?" WHAT?! "Paralyze her?" I have never heard of that. I want to scream and yell at the doctor for telling my boyfriend and me that. They would not admit her and even try to find out what really happened.
Okay, my boyfriend and I had to bring her home after all of this, and wait until his mother got home to take her to a hospital that could properly treat her. The hospital she is in now knows what they are doing, and they are giving her the best of care, but I am wondering if anyone has ever gone through this and wonders what the hell is wrong with these doctors and nurse who have no idea how to treat seizures when part of their job is to know how to treat people?

There are different types of seizures, it can be determined through the use of diagnostic tools, one of this MRI. The MRI can identify what's going on with our brain function. Then, the diagnosis can be rendered based on the diagnostic test undergone. Once it was diagnosed, the proper treatment will be given for appropriate management. Basically, the seizures can not be controlled. The usual thing to do is to protect the patient for further injuries.

Wow!! To have something happen like this would be quite frustrating, and personally would make me think twice about ever going there again. To have a Doctor feel like this and say things does not make it for a Good place to be. At the same token unfortunately anymore too many doctors tend to think for themselves instead of thinking about others. When a patient having problems like this gets overlooked it makes you wonder who should be held accountable for sure.

Well many doctors tend to think of themselves as gods, and they need to understand that they are not. This is a case where the doctor should have known better, the nurses should have known better, and they should all be held responsible for what they have done.
There will be a malpractice suit filed against them.

Oh dear. That does sound dreadful. An ER doctor should know what to do or at least, if he's just a houseman, be able to call up a senior doctor in the hospital and find out the best course of action.
Did you complain to the hospital?

We did, and we told them that we hope no one ever comes to this hospital if they have seizures.

There is always a hospital that has no clue to certain things I don't know how some became nurses and doctors. This happened to a friend of mine. They didn't know why she kept fainting they said she wasn't eating (which wasn't true because my friend is big and eats a lot)when we asked what can she do to stop fainting the doctor said "well just take these supplements" it was supplements to make her have a appetite which made her gain 8 pounds. My friend is already overweight and to give her supplements to gain is crazy. She went to another hospital and they knew exactly why she was fainting. She was working 2 jobs and going to school and sleeping late so I guess she wasn't getting enough sleep and working so hard that perhaps her body became weak and she started fainting every time. They told her to stop working 2 jobs or minimize the work hours and not sleep late and to also take vitamins. She followed that and hasn't fainted for a year.

What frustrates me, is that this happened just two days ago, in an era where we have the technology and resources and there is no excuse for this, and they couldn't get it together. I was so angry with these doctors for not being able to do more for her. Luckily, she is at a hospital where they are doing all that they can for her, and they actually do know what they are doing.

I do not put my trust in doctors, some are really good yes, but I rather try to heal myself with God's help to cure what I can naturally. If doctors seem to not know what else they can do to help. i would seek an homeopathic doctor.

You sadly can't do homeopathic therapy for someone who has severe brain damage and has seizures her entire life.
