I think your experience needs to be brought to the attention of the administration of the facility. Is there a patient ombudsman who could be contacted to carry this to the proper people? I think your questions are appropriate. Why didn't they tell you? Why didn't they treat this? Why were you directed toward a mental health provider when there was a physical problem evident? If I were the administrator or medical director of the facility I would want the answers to those questions also. I would not let this go since it obviously affects your confidence in the facility you would likely be taken to in an emergency.
