Years ago, I showed up to Yale New Haven Hospital’s ER with clear signs of congestive heart failure. The APRN who saw me in the ER, despite my symptoms, assumed it wasn’t heart failure and didn’t test for it. As a result, it delayed my heart condition from being discovered, yet I was admitted for observation. A few days later in the hospital, once it was discovered that I had heart failure, one of the doctors told me that “a mistake has been made” and that my condition was overlooked. The doctor (who informed me that a mistake had been made) told me that if the person who saw me in the ER ordered the proper diagnostic tests for someone with the symptoms I had, my heart condition would have been discovered immediately, and I would have been prescribed the heart medications I needed right away, rather than a few days later.
