El Centro VA Clinic

Mar 9th, 2024

This place needs to be shut down. One they are a satellite VA clinic, with little to no oversight by the VA. Second they consistently hurt their own patients and blow it off like it is nothing: Nurse gave me nerve damage while doing a routine blood drawn. My body went into a temporary seizure, I screamed, and by the time I looked at my arm to see what was going on she continued to fish for a blood vane making more nerve damage. I addressed this to the Supervising Nurse in charge and she blew it off like it was normal and was attempting to make me think that my pain and suffering was mental cause of something else in my life. Someone working there informed me to report this to the VA in San Diego as this happens often and the Supervising Nurse would simply sweep this under the rug like nothing ever happened. My arm has not been the same since and I had it looked by the ER doctor in San Diego VA. They agreed it was nerve damage and had me referred to a neurologist who has also agreed that it was nerve damage. Now getting set up for an MRI on my arm and head. While I was in the waiting room in the SD VA I met someone else who had also experienced nerve damage from blood drawn at this facility. The Drive to San Diego is much longer than to this facility but its worth it. This place wont help you, will simply make things worse like in my situation.
