Boca Raton Regional Hospital review: Emergency visit

I visited Boca Raton Regional Hospital because my heart palpitations were over 130 BPM. I don't smoke, drink or have any diagnosed condition. When I arrived, the staff had treated me like that though. I was severely dehydrated (something my cardiologist in Colombia explained very well) after they did so many tests (including blood work, even a XRay on my chest), and they denied me any water, telling me I would have to wait until the doctor could see me. I suddenly started feeling worse and decided to leave because of this treatment and check myself out. Unfortunately, I had to return two days later because my heart condition continued. Since they already had done so many tests, I thought it was right to go back and save myself the trouble. This time, I hydrated myself before having to go there. However, they gave me no information that could help. I was injected with 2.5 MG of Lorazepam like I was someone with anxiety. I never had anxiety nor do I have an anxiety condition. My dad, who is a doctor in Colombia, was furious after all this and rushed me to Colombia to be seen by a cardiologist, a vascular and electrophysiology doctors. They helped me there and explained what was happening to me. Meanwhile I couldn't get the test results from Boca Raton Hospital even after one week. I paid them all the money they billed me, but now, the doctor I never saw on April 22nd is sending me a new bill with a code change so I have to pay him $400. It's not the money that made me write this complaint, but the fact that I have doctors who backed me up with the way I am feeling for the treatment or not treatment at that horrible hospital. I will be posting and telling more people about my experience.
