Well, I have been really sick for about 3/4 of my life. I have crohns disease, I am on my 4th colostomy "and Ive had 3 reversals, 1 just a normal bowl resection , I have had 12 surgeries from abcesses & fistulas, Ive had 2 toes, a knee,a wrist 3 fingers, and Ive cracked my neck in second grade, Ive had 4 port-a-caths, with 4 removals, 14 midlines, 6 pick lines, one day in an ER somewhere I had 13 nurses stick me up 2 or 3 times each just so I could get fluids and meds to help keep me ticking, apparently I have like an 80 year olds veins, and Ive had my intestines separate inside of me and ALL of my "waste " basically cooked ALL of my organs like a pressure cooker, now Im going to say something that may offend you, not very many people have ever hurt like that, I am willing to give some credit to some but not ALL ladies who have had some ruff pain having babies but I will swear to you it wasnt and couldnt of hurt like this. They actually had to reopen me up and take I believe everything out of me and washed me out then had to clean up and off All the stuff that they took out and had to somehow get it all back in me with permanent sitches a lot of metal clips, now Ive had a couple other things inside of me that needed to be fixed but this is getting long so just a few more things Id like to share with YALLS ! Okay, the last day of January, My BEAUTIFUL and the most important and wonderful girl in the ENTIRE WORLD to finally got really upset with me because for like 2.5 weeks went by and I basically just stopped eating the whole time, then I started puking, and started getting dizzy and light headed, but just before I crashed into a lot of stuff from passing out I was going deaf and everything else went black, then finally one day after I believe that she had just gotten back home from working ALL day long well she was home and starting to get comfortable on the couch with the puppies and thats when it happened. Honestly It hit me like a ton of bricks, I thought that I was gonna be looking at her when she wanted to know how my day was and how I was feeling so I really thought that I was gonna turn and look into her BEAUTIFUL BLUE eyes, Well that did not go down like I had thought, my entire body like froze, and I kinda started freaking out cause I fell over and ALL that I could really move was my eyes, Well needless to say after like 5 DAYS of my BobbyJo begged me to go to the hospital, yeah you guessed it, like what could I really do, I was so very dizzy, couldnt move anything but my eyes so well I had no choice, there was no freaking way I would of been able to talk my way of the firemen paramedics

The nurses and doctors have poor bedside manner. A family member of mine went to the ER with extremely high blood pressure that could have sent him into a stroke at any moment. The ER sent him home with no treatment! The next day he called his family doctor and made an appointment. Once at his family doctor they took his blood pressure and immediately called for an ambulance but my family member called me to come take him to the hospital as it wasnt far and the ambulance is expensive. His family doctor was appauld that he was not admitted into the hospital the night before and said that he is lucky he had not had a stroke. His family doctor called the ER ahead and told them he was coming and needed to be admitted for atleast 2 days. When we arrived at the ER my family member was left just sitting in the waiting room for half an hour even though there was no other patients waiting. His doctor had to call the ER again and tell them to admit him right away.The family doctor didnt even know how he drove to his office or how he could walk. He had to have tests done to check for brain damage. His doctor said he is lucky that his heart must be very strong. A second bad experience at goshen hospital is a family member ended up in the ER by ambulance. They did no tests said it was anxiety and sent them home. It was actually an allergic reaction. Due to this they ended up much sicker than should have been. Its scary to think that if a future emergency arises and myself or a family member must go to goshen hospital due to proximity who knows what might happen.

Instead of hooking me up to an EKG and checking me for a heart attack and giving me medicine for my blood pressure that was 180/130 with a heart rate of 130; the doctor decided to come in and debate the intricacies of migraine protocol with me. even worse, he didnt have the slightest idea of what the latest protocol for emergency migraine treatment was. He attempted to treat me with what you would do from a family doctor for daily care. Further, he attempted to tell me that he couldnt properly treat me for my migraine today because of rebound migraines. The doctor does not know the very definition of rebound migraines, you have to take pain medicine Tylenol in Sadds narcotics or any type of pain medicine for four days in a row before a rebound my crane can occur and then if it does you hit them with steroids. Even worse the doctor feigned his neurological exam and did not do a complete exam at all. Additionally the doctor never mentioned my blood pressure talked about move all or offer any kind of treatment plan while I was on the edge of a heart attack. I immediately went to another hospital in which they got my heart rate down right away hook me up to an EKG immediately and the doctor solve my heart problems and my migraine issues with no problem. While I have had great experiences at Goshen hospital before, because of this doctors complete ineptitude I have filed a formal complaint with the state of Indiana as well as with IU health their parent hospital in Indianapolis.

took my friend in, she has several stints and has had a couple heart attacks. I will never come to that hospital after watching them treat her..especially after the doctor got rude and insinuated she came in for the drugs. She is a senior citizen not some druggy. I watched her blood pressure continuely rise, after it got to 214/178 we called the nurse in..she was on a machine!!!! In the EMERGENCY room, not one person came to see if she was ok or check on it. nurses rude because they couldnt take blood from her arm...what is going on there !!! I will go miles out of my way to avoid that emergency room

My wife had our baby here in May. We did not want to go to a hospital and were hoping for the birth center. Things dont always go how you want them. We ended up here and were treated with such kindness and support. We felt supported by all the staff, from administrative folks to nurses and anyone else. We still want to have a baby in the birth center, but we are so happy to know that we can go to this hospital if things dont work out. We loved this hospital!! Had to add pictures of our little girl, Fiver Berry!
