Si este es el mejor hospital que tienen en la ciudad de Indianapolis no se si me deban dar ganas de reirme o llorar,medicos incompetentes que demoran tiempo en atender a pacientes con dolor,los cuales no pueden ser medicados antes que el médico autorize,no es de humanos hacer esperar a un ser humano con dolor,la enfermera muy protocolar con cosas innecesarias,si toma mas de una hora ver a un paciente al menos no dejen que sufra de dolor en ese entretiempo,a los hospitales no se viene apurado y mas cuando se trata de algo bien importante como la salud y vida de alguien querido y en eso yo tengo paciencia,pero si no la tengo en ver como sin importancia alguna se envia al paciente para la casa sin ni siquiera hacer un MRI o Ultrasonido y mas si la causa del dolor proviene de una parte del cuerpo donde proximamente se va a realizar una cirugia,por supuesto que algo no esta bien,la verdad el personal médico me parecio mediocre,personas jovenes que por supuesto no van a saber más de medicina que personas que por años sin un titulo han estado en ella,mas alla de que cada ser humano conoce su ser,si los medicos lo supieran todo no hubieran tantos errores,pero lo triste es cuando no hacemos caso a la voz del paciente en cuanto a su cuerpo y queremos creernos que sabemos todo...se olvidan que todo lo que aprenden es de nosotros y von nosotros mismos,lo menos que deben hacer es llevar su titulo con dignidad en vez de una carrera universitaria que cuesta caro pagar y del dinero que ganan para vivir...si por mi fuera ni una estrella les diera la ciudad de Indianapolis esta desfuncional medicamente,verguenza deberia de darles que alguien sin estudios les tenga que decir que deben hacer con un paciente.

The reason they are named in the magazine is because in Indianapolis, they are the place where race car drivers go if injured/hurt. A hospital can be recognized if its a place where the famous can go and be treated as the best. My experience with them has been far from the pat on the back they are giving themselves. My only hope/wish is that they treat patients better than their staff. At the first chance they get, they will fire a 20+ year nurse who has an excellent care record, and is known for standing up for patients rights even with the doctor, but when that one nurse isnt able to make her shift because she is having a medical crisis of her own, they grant her FMLA and then cancel it and fire her, because they can bring in 3 new nurses who are straight out of college and hire them for the same pay. So if you are a patient, would you rather see a fresh out of college nurse who it takes 6 times to get a catheter in or a seasoned nurse that can do it right the first time, and will stand up for your best interest? As for patients, my mother has been having mental problems for YEARS 10+ years, had been taken to Methodist numerous times and in 10+ years, they still cant seem to get her right. They get her barely stable and send her home, and within 2 weeks or less (this time 3 days) she is right back there. When did hospitals stop caring about the patient and worry more about the money??? Oh wait, hospitals are always worried about the bottom dollar, especially when it comes to the bill. Ive seen bills where they will charge for the whole roll of gauze tape when they probably have used three inches to tape your iv down. Keep up the below par work Methodist. If it wasnt for the celebrities coming there, you wouldnt be named in any magazine. I would go to Wishard Hospital before I went to Methodist - any time, any day, any week. Didnt Indiana University have enough of a stigma with Bobby Knight always being associated with the university without adding their name to Methodist Hospital???? If I had 10 thumbs they would all be pointing down, but unfortunately I was only born with two. I would rather be treated by the homeless men/women on Senate Blvd with a rusty hacksaw and a $2.99 bottle of Boones Farm then walk in this hospital ever. And I can tell you this from experience, that they care more about the almighty dollar than they do their staff or patients.

I was away from home on a trip this past August. I have good insurance, but Indianapolis is surprisingly devoid of any urgent care centers in or close to Downtown. That left me with few options, as someone who had bused there. I could Uber to someplace 15-20 minutes away, or I could be seen at this hospital. Those were seriously my options. I specifically asked, when I walked in the door of this ER, whether or not this portion of the hospital was considered an urgent care. In retrospect, Im sure they didnt understand the question. Why would anyone in healthcare give a thought to the monetary burden they place on their patients? (Spoiler alert: they dont!) That said, do hospitals not have ways of seeing people who arent there for an emergency but still want efficient treatment? No? Then dont tell people, like one of the nurses told me, that "this is basically an urgent care, yes." Urgent care = cheap, affordable. Why else would I be asking? I know what the acronym "ER" stands for, so I know youre going to see me as efficiently as possible. My insurance was billed over 1000 dollars. For what, exactly? Moderate laryngitis, thats what. I knew thats what I had because Id been seen just days ago at an urgent care in Florida (where, by the way, I paid about $100). I bet Id have paid about the same amount to be seen for a broken arm, which is just crazy. My final question is: how do you not advise someone to be seen elsewhere if it would mean paying 1/10 of the price? My insurance is paying 1000, but Im stuck with over $300 out-of-pocket. Ridiculous. I just wanted some fast-acting medicine. What did I get? Some Ibuprofen. Oh, and a $300 bill. This place is awful. Im going to call the billing department again and ask who the doctor was who saw me, and then Im going to make her out to be the joke she is on any and every website out there. Because she obviously puts her own livelihood above the livelihoods of others, a serious crime that many others in the healthcare industry are sadly guilty of.

From the moment we went the nurses did not care what I had to say about my mothers care. 4 days went by and I witnessed my mother getting worse, she was not able to remember things and getting nervous easy. Turns out the doctor had taken her off Klinopin, did not consult us or discuss weaning her off the drug. She was going through withdrawals and I did not know it. Every medical journal says a person must be weened off the drug. I went to talk tot he hospital staff but they kept interrupting me, would to listen that I know her care better then anyone, been her care giver for 5 years. She had one left and I gave it to her to help her calm down, she was begging for it and I could not take seeing her suffer and the hospital staff would not listen! In 2 hours she was back to her ld self and calmed down, I showed the nurses, and instead of listening to me and see my mother was doing better they called security, flipped out and kicked me out. I can only say this hospital does not like the family knowing what is going on, and when family tries to find out they work to keep the family shut out. They over reacted got my mother upset and treated me like a criminal, I am my mothers care giver and I have the legal right to know what they are doing with my mother and to step in when they are not doing the right thing. Stay away from this hell hole
