Dr. Ryan Michael Urich, MD

October 13,2024 11pm. I was having tightness in my upper chest, jaw pain. My husband took me into Gila Regional about 11pm. Another Dr did tests, xrays, ct and determined that I had pneumonia in both lungs but he said he couldn't admit me until the "floor doctor" approved it and he wasn't in yet so we waited a couple of hours. Sometime later a young man came in, Dr. Ryan Urich, he was busy trying to impress me with his two board certifications. When he quit talking he said "if you need CPR right now do you want me to perform it?" I said yes and he said if he performed CPR he would then have to "intubated and ventilate me" and that would make my DNR null and void. I said no, don't do CPR then, he made me repeat no twice. Next he said "you do realize you don't come to the hospital for dental pain?" I said I came to the hospital for chest pain that included my jaw hurting. He said you are alright, you are having a panic attack or an anxiety attack and I said no I am not. He hollered… "yes, you are having a panic attack!" October 17,2024 5:17am lost consciousness, ambulance took me to hospital, my left lung had collapsed, pneumothorax, and I only had two lobes on right lung. I have often wondered if I had been admitted for the pneumonia would the pneumothorax have been avoided.

Text my health personally. Called me at home when results were abnormal.
