I agree, this is the worst hospital in all of California. Even friends I know from both Yuba City and Marysville said "Rideout Hospital? More like Rideout Hellhole." But my story was when I spent an overnighter on the beginning of my Thanksgiving break from school which was on Monday November 23rd 2015. This all happened when me and my Dad used to live at my brothers house. But I was depressed the night I was there because my Mom was selfish by keeping my dog from me at her house which he is not her dog, did not adopt him and just wasnt fair. But that night at my brothers house I was wanting to overdose on all my medications when the only pill I ever swallow was 1 acne pill that cures zits on my face and body. They took my meds from me and both called 911. When they showed up, they talked to all 3 of us for a while, then I went to Rideout by ambulance. And as much as I told them I swear I did not swallow anything else but one pill that cures acne, they didnt believe me and they didnt want to. But when I got to the hospital by ambulance and I finally settled down on the bed, I was immediately starting to watch TV. Then later they shut the TV off on me because they were like its too loud and it was waking everybody up. It wasnt even close to being loud for even patients nearby me to hear the volume. I dont know how even the nurses heard the TV by the desk their all at. The only way I shouldve heard the volume was where the volume is on the remote, and having it right by ear. Then when they shut it off I said to myself "Oh great, there goes my other enjoyments of entertainment." Then an hour later, I wanted get up just to go to the bathroom. Then as I stood up, one of the guy nurses and one security guard came over and started grabbing my shoulders, pressing down on me to keep me from allowed to stand up because they think I was gonna either hide from them in the bathroom or even try to run out of the hospital. And I wasnt planning on doing any of that. I was only gonna go to the bathroom, wash my hands, and go back to lay down on the bed. But they didnt believe me. As they were trying to start a fight with me, I told them "Get your hands off of me, right now." Then I brushed the guy nurses hand off of me, or at least he so-called "punched him" which is not true and never was. Then they both wrestle me to ground and tie up on the bed for nothing at all. At least they finally untied later, after 30 minutes of hell on being tied for nothing. Oh well, they finally believed me and let me go do my business. Skipping everything else, I never got to leave until 5:00 AM the next day which was Tuesday November 24th. But at least its now June and I have my dog with me too and Im over depression as well. But now my dog is no longer my mothers concern. But yup. I agree 100% with everybody in all of Yuba/Sutter County, dont ever go to this hospital. Its full of Nurses and Security Guards that are non-believers, no reason interrogators, biggest liars and are just plain abusive to their patients. Even my Dad drove my sister there a few months ago because she had some kind of flu that we thought was pretty serious. Luckily it was nothing. But when they were there, they were waiting for a long time just to speak with somebody to see whats going on with my sister. Minutes later my Dad asked "Can you please tell me whats wrong with my daughter?" Female Nurse: Sorry, your gonna have to wait like everyone else. But later never came and no one ever did see what was up with my sister. Then she asked "Dad, can we just leave now?" And my Dad and sister just walked out. But shes all better now and as said, her visit was a few months ago. I hope this place somehow loses money or something or even they get sentenced to prison. Thats right, up yours Rideout.

This hospital is horrible. Took my husband Monday 2:00am (11/11/13) to ER with abdominal and chest pain. Took him back did an EKG (normal)...had to admit it. They believed he had pancreatitis and said he should be better within the next day or two. However he became worse. His pancreas was back to normal. He still had horrible abdominal pains. They said they believed he had an infection and still to this day, they never found out what it was. And his eyes became yellow on that FRIDAY. They took blood for hepatitis which blew my mind cause I believed they should have done that when they did a whole panel in the ER. Also during this week his IV came out TWICE...the first time while he was sleeping and took forever for someone to come. Second time after waiting to take a CAT scan all day they start putting dye in him and it was too much pressure and his IV popped out and got blood and fluids everywhere. So he had to wait again. I found out after 4 days of him being there they NEVER took a urine culture. Which is another thing that should have been done in the ER. I had to request one because my husband said his urine was very dark and he thought there was blood there. Then to top it off NOT all the staff but there were some that were very rude. It felt like they didnt want to be there, find another career then. My hubby TOLD THEM he believed it was the medicine he was getting a bad reaction from. They changed it and he got his pain away. Still has a high WBC but released him with antibiotics. Their excuse....hes a type 2 diabetic...REALLY. I tried getting him transfer to Gridley...which was very friendly, held back because we would wait on the certain test results then they would screw up something then my husband was afraid of transfer because of insurance. Finally released 11/18/13...day I guess state department of Health was coming. Will be getting in contact with them too. I felt this hospital found pancreatitis and stuck with that. Did not do standard routine of tests and which made my husband become more sick and stay there even longer. I would not go to this hospital even if I had just a broken toe.

I was taken to the er by ambulance when I passed out in my livingroom from the flu. I was put in the ambulance and they started with the iv and when they called it in they said I had a high fever and had been tthrowing up for 3 days. This is a problem as I take Adivan and Prozac and have not been able to keep them down for 5 days as of now. They put me in the bed said they needed a urine sample and blood test. I was have serious stomach cramps as well. The lab came in and took blood but not a single person took a urine test and worst they never took my temp. They gave me some meds for the naeusa and pain and told to go home. I woke up this morning with a temp of 102.9 but noone would know that since they never checked it. My husband has serious health issues and if gets this it will probably kill him so I am not really happy with the service I got. I am so week and I have not been keep my meds down such as my adivan and procaz high nlood pressure and so on. So now not only do I have a high fever I am having serious panic attacks. It wasnt that busy and I thought a temp was one of the first things along with the vitals. Not a happy person. You should try being so sore from throwing up so hard and a fever of 102.9 then go into a panic attack. Not a fun thing to go through. Maybe to them the flu is nothing but to me and my body is is something. I dont even know what to do now. But i am not happy
