Alana Snyder's Online Review Report Card

Alana Snyder was my ER “doctor” when I was transported to Medical City Arlington by EMS after enduring a direct blow to my chest by a male. I’m a female with Sickle Cell Anemia Disease and had a Double Mastectomy so my chest is fragile. I was asked by a nurse my pain level and I reported 7-8 and informed that it was difficult to breathe. Snyder lacks moral character. She gave a single image xray (1 position) and said nothing is broken. also did an EKG and said “all clear”. Despite a nurse suggesting more treatment (CT Scan) Ms. Alana Snyder said it wasn’t necessary because the little testing she did do was “all clear”. Crying in pain I told her myself that my pain was severe and my chest was causing shortness of breath. She looked at me and said—It’s expected that I will have pain because my chest was aggravated; and to practice taking deep breaths.— despite me telling her it was very painful to breathe her educated decision was to discharge me WITHOUT PRESCRIBING ANY PAIN MEDICATION.

I was transported to the Medical City of Arlington ER by EMS after suffering a direct blow to my chest by an adult male. I'm female with Sickle Cell Anemia Disease. Have had a Double Mastectomy. My chest is fragile and my disease is known for severe pain. I am used to visiting ER's and receiving medical care for pain. This doctor was not only insensitive but lacked moral character. Her treatment included a single X-ray from the front and no other angles. Also being in severe pain she prescribed NO MEDICATION after discharging me not even an Asprin. I reported to her that I was having trouble breathing and that my pain was severe. I was transported to the same hospital less than 24 hours later by EMS for the same symptoms and received the proper care. They showed compassion gave me a proper X-ray of several angles, and also a CT scan which they concluded I suffered from a Sternal Contusion. Alana Snyder was cold! What Dr. discharges a patient in PAIN without pain meds? Please fire her!!

I'm a female 5' 10" 135lbs. I was transported to the Medical City of Arlington ER by EMS after suffering a direct blow to my chest by an adult male. I have Sickle Cell Anemia Disease and have had a Double Mastectomy. My chest is fragile and my disease already causes severe pain without needing to have extra trauma endeared. With a history of Sickle Cell Anemia I am used to visiting ER's and receiving medical care for pain. This doctor was not only insensitive but lacked moral character. Her treatment included a single X-ray from the front and no other angles. Also being in severe pain she prescribed NO MEDICATION after discharging me while I was still in severe pain. Enough pain that I reported to her that I was having trouble breathing. I was transported to the same hospital less than 24 hours later for the same symptoms and received the proper care. They gave me a proper X-ray of several angles, and also an MRI which they concluded I suffered from a Sternal Contusion. I was treated properly with the other doctors from the same ER. They showed compassion and sent me home with pain medication. Dr. Alana Snyder was cold, lacked compassion and what Dr. discharges a patient without pain medication who has a disease that specifically causes pain??? In addition to receiving a blow to the chest from an adult male. She needs to be reprimanded!!!
