I was at the emergency room with my roommate and she is extremely sick. She got there at 6:30, and finally at 9 oclock we left to go to a different emergency room because she still had yet to be seen. The same people were still in the emergency room that were there when we got there. But more then 5 people had left, so they should have been more circulation with getting people in and out. On top of that, there was an elderly man who was extremely sick and filled several large bags with puke. His friends went up and said that someone needs to get him help fast, and they just looked at him like he was stupid. Then, 5-10 minutes later a nurse came out. Gave my friend and I a dirty look, this elderly man a dirty look. Then looked at the receptionist and said "Who?!" in a very rude manor! She then looked at the elderly man, and said "Come here!", again very rude manor! He then stood up and started to walk her way. She turned around and started walking towards the back, without helping him. He was so unstable that he could barely walk and she just let him walk on his own! Did not help him at all. I can not believe that this hospital would treat their patients this way. Also, my roommate was tested for strep throat out in the waiting room at 6:30, and when she told them that she was leaving because it was taking to long and she really needed to be seen. A nurse came out to have her sign a release form, and then told her at 9:00 when we left there, that she was negative for strep throat! Like what in the world?! A test like this takes 30 minutes!! Why did it take us leaving to tell her these results?! The receptionists were absolutely rude! The nurse that treated the elderly man this way, rude! Everything rude!! We left and came to CHI Bergan Mercy, less than 2 miles away from Methodist, and we sat in the waiting room for less then 10 minutes. And they are truly concerned about her and caring. With that being said, I will never go to Methodist emergency room again!!

The treatment I received at this hospital tonight was exactly as I expected and what I wanted and needed to occur. I had been attempting to contact my primary care doctor to have his office set the earliest possible appointment for me with the wound care clinic associated with their practice. I understand that it is difficult during a holiday week, but I had been to so many doctors by now and with no progress that desperate times call for desperate measures. I had been in terrible pain all week. The doctor who treated me tonight got me started on a medication I needed so that has begun and should help before I can be seen in a wound clinic, also he increased another medication I currently take as the dosage was too low and that could negatively impact my kidney function, and he explained more clearly than any doctor had exactly was the problem was that I was experiencing. Now I can more fully participate in making sure I follow exactly the doctors orders for my condition. Also, with the next step in treatment, I will need to use a scooter for mobility so I can now research exactly how much of that will be covered by my combined insurance coverage and it should be fully covered as I am at that point in the year where it is considered catastrophic, so no deductibles or co-payments. I would say that, once again, Methodist Hospital has saved my life.

Going to the ER was not a pleasant experience, due to Dr. Rankin. On a night when it appeared to not be busy, the wait was seemingly long, and this Dr.s demeanor was not what one would expect in an ER situation. He appeared to be irritated at the patient and the reason he was there. He was rude until it was time to be dismissed. Only then did he seem in the least bit friendly. I will use the bad waiter at a restaurant analogy. When its time for a tip, they suddenly smile and decide to be courteous. I would not go back to Methodists ER, knowing this physician may be the Dr. treating my patient. On a side note, I have come into contact twice with this Dr., and both times were the same. In fact, when I saw his name on the board in the room, I really wanted to leave to avoid him.

My mother went to the ER with chest pains on a Saturday afternoon. After ruling out heart attack and stabilizing her, they transferred her to an "observation room" for more tests. (Medicare treats "observation" differently than "inpatient"; that means a lot of the expenses do not qualify under Medicare and are out-of-pocket.) Medical staff informed her early on Sunday that they had to hold her until Monday to have the additional testing and medical care done as they dont staff those departments over the weekend. What? This is a hospital! I asked that since she was stable that she be discharged and we could seek further care elsewhere. Medical staff was very courteous, but I cannot recommend that emergency cases go to this hospital on a weekend.

The worst hospital to ever go to. They do not care about nothing except for your insurance. I wasnt even supposed to have been released and they sent me home extremely ill. I had to end up going to UNMC, where they admitted me. Had an intestine issue. They didnt even have a callback number for me. Lets not get on how they treated my over 70yr old friend who was involved in a car accident. Her clavicle and ankle were broken and they did not do any x-rays or give her any meds until the next day!!!!!! Stay away from here. Im going dispute this with my insurance company.

My wife was in the emergency room last night. They did a great job. She forgot her earnings in room. Hospital called and let us no we could pick them up. So I came in after work this morning at 6 am. To get them. On my way out some completely rude security guard came up to me and told me I could not park in the emergency parking lot I asked him why is that it is 30 minute parking and Im done was only there 2 minutes. He just said its for emergency parking only all I can say how rude

multiple ER and admits for husband. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow to get into ER b/c of triage status. Heart attacks, car crash, gunshot wounds etc. take priority. Some folks dont get that or notice the ambulances rolling in. Much better experiences than at Lakeside where we had to go b/c shortest route ambiance route rules!

Awful!!! Husband was released with a infection in his leg after knee surgery! It was noticed at the Rehab he entered !!!! The nurses were telling us they did not know what was happening with his leg... they were wondering why it was so swollen and hot to the touch!
