The worst hospital ever. They are suppose to process charity cases so that a poor person with no insurance will not be billed then taken to court with threat of jail even when they have no ability to pay. I think they just throw the charity forms in the trash. Then they fail to bill for a about a year then the poor sick person gets a summons to go to court where they are given orders to pay even though they are to sick to work and have no money. This is a crime and it has happened to some disabled persons I know. I know the forms were filled out and taken to the right office to be processed because I did these for some people myself since the disabled persons were learning disabled with no ability to read or write. Thank God for Obama Care for now these folks have proper insurance. But No! Their trials are not over! They just got another summons to appear in court for failure to pay a 2 year old bill they thought was taken care of through the Charity office for those with no ability to pay! Shame on you Deaconess. What you have been doing is a crime! By Federal and State law you must process these claims and leave folks with no ability to pay alone! You are criminals!

Two words: chop shop. The nursing staff is atrocious; theyre immature, irresponsible and unprofessional. I was waiting for a ridiculosuly long time outside of my step-dads room so that a nurse could find me a phone number to the hospitalist, when ANOTHER nurse kicked a chair at the guy cleaning the floors. He kicked it back and it hit me as I stood there. Nobody apologized. They just walked away. The doctors dont care about you unless you have a PPO. The staff drugged up my step-dad and then tried over five times to discharge him. They didnt bathe him for over two weeks. They let containers of urine sit in his room for 12+ hours at a time. He had bed sores. The nurse who was supposed to "sign off" on Valium didnt check charts or anything and just dished them out like candy to patients all over the Ortho unit. The social worker laughed at me when I said that my step-dad couldnt eat or walk. This place is horrid. Id rather die in a crumpled up heap on the street than ever permit somebody to cart me to this hell hole.

I wish to dispute a bill. invoice # 139978135. My visit was less than 10 minutes. this was my first visit. the doctor told me she was unable to help me. she was very unprofessional. she pretended to be "homey" but came across as condescending. she did not conduct a physical examination. she told me she could not help me. I am an amputee. she told me she did not provide the type of services I sought. Dr.Leslie Strouse came to Boonville from New Albany. About me. I am a 69 yr old male. I am a left leg BK amputee. I am a retired RN, LCSW, CADAC, LMFT . Worked in health care for four decades. I have worked with addicted nurses and doctors as a part of my practice. I ask you to review Dr. Stouses note to my visit to see if that visit was deserving of money. I was hesitant to file a complaint against this doctor but if necessary I will do so. I was hesitant to post this publicly but its difficult to communicate with you folks Please respond

I went in to ER with severe knee leg pain I had 24 hrs and wasnt going away but getting worse with home treatment. As the pain had me up alnight and sick to my stomach from the pain I was desperate for relief. The staff was timely, nice, and did tests. NP thought something was probly torn and referred follow up with ortho.. now I went in with a 10 pain and that is how I left. I had to ask to even get a tramadol shot and got sent home with naproxen which Id takin at home with ice packing and it didnt work. I would not be given PAIN RELIEF...so doing as told I am in day 3 of very uncomfortable pain and cried in pain both days prior. I WILL NOT RETURN TO ER AND PAY A FORTUNE AND NOT BE ALLOWED PAIN RELIEF, that is unacceptable as a patient, and ridiculous I couldnt have gotten a narcotic shot that gives pain relief and sent home with atleast a cpl days meds for my pain.

When your mother is 1000 miles away and in the hospital, you want to know shes being taken care of. I called her today and she had nothing but rave reviews about the doctors and nurses. While we were talking they brought her dinner which was delicious. I was discussing a problem my girlfriend was having in nursing school and when my mom mentioned it to the nurse, the nurse got on the phone with me to give me encouraging words for Katie. How nice was that?? I really felt like they cared about her and took care of all her needs. Shes a little ornery, and I heard the nurses giving it right back to her and joking around with her. It warmed my cockles. So when in Southwest Indiana, Deaconess downtown is the place to be!

This place is a sorry excuse for a hospital. Everyday its different story. Their medical staff need to get on board witn their decisions, before coming to family members who have a loved one in the hospital. My father has been here for almost two weeks and Ive never been lied to as much as I have been in this past week. Finally after putting up the best fight he could on his own, he passed away. My brother and father both entered this hospital and never came out alive. If you want someone to help save your life, or someone you love. Dont choose this so called hospital! I would rate it no stars if possible. Youre better off going to vet for care. This place should be shut down.

My husband was in ER waiting room screaming in pain while all the nurses where have a group talk at the end of the hall way. My mother was with him. She has a defibrillator. Her chest started hurting because of the poor service and her having to roll my husband into the hosptial with no help. She told the police officers if she passed out to call an ambulance to take her to St. Marys. He got there at 6:30 am. The doc comes in @ 2:30pm. Everyone on the floor was coming in the room asking the same questions while my husband was screaming of pain. Just dont get it. They treat you bad. The drip machine keep going off..no But will sue you in a minute.
