I went to this hospital for a cut on my leg. When I got there, three people came into my room over the course of 15 minutes. Two registered nurses and a doctor. The first registered nurse asked me what happened and I told her then she said the other nurse would be my nurse. So the second nurse came in and asked me what happened and I told him. I also told him that I had an infected cut before so i was familiar with care instructions. I just needed a anti-biotic for the cut. The nurse proceeded to tell me that I had no idea what i was talking about and I had no place to say anything. Incredibly rude and arrogant. The doctor who was seeing me came in and looked at my cut. He seemed incredibly uninterested in my problem and wanted to leave as soon as he came in. A barely got any words in before he threw himself out the door. That was all in the first 15 minutes. 20 minutes later I started hearing the doctors voice and the second registered nurses voice outside my door and they were arguing about what my problem was. That it wasnt infected, that it was cellulitis, that it was velliclitis. This two guys were very loud and yelling at each other. Frankly the doctor had a higher rank than the nurse so what does the nurse know about anything and what gives the nurse any authority to tell a doctor anything. (Last time I checked doctors are better than nurses.) Im probably saying things that most people who live in Carlisle already know, but Im just throwing my two cents into the ever growing pile of personal opinion. I dont like this hospital. I dont the people who work there and I wouldnt tell anyone to get cared for at that hospital. The people who work at the hospital are too busy with who is better and right than what a persons health problem is which is always a recipe for disaster. I wouldnt give a star at all if google would let me. Ied subtract them. >:( in the three years Ive lived in Carlisle and had to go that hospital. Ive never gotten a call bell. The nurses always hang it outside of my reach. Hospitals are required to give a patient a call bell so they wont fall. The sticker is on the side of their room. Stop, just call, dont fall. I also gave the nurse a list of some of my allergies and he threw it away right in front of me and my son.

So far I have never had a good experience. I have multiple sclerosis and since it is the nearest hospital some times I dont have a choice in where to go for care. The first time I had a attack before being DXd I visited the ER. I was seen by a Dr. Clifford Cloonan. Who laughed at me and told me my odds of having MS were so small that it wasnt worth any testing. 2 week after this visit I lost my sight. I made plans to visit a doctor in Dillsburg who than sent me to Kilmore Eye who than told me to drive to Hershey Hospital who than admitted me into the hospital and sent me for a MRI and set up a spinal . I was Diagnosed with MS. My husband was diagnosed with Kidney disease and was admitted for 7 days into CRMC. When Friday came apparently all the nurses call off to get their drink on. Over the weekend we seen 1 nurse who showed up. Left a elderly man in the bed next to my husband sit in his own waste for almost the entire day. My husband received Potassium chloride (KCL) - Intravenous (IV) which the nurses kept messing up and the contraption they had set up for it was broken and kept falling off the table. My husband had to keep telling them how to do HIS meds. One of the nurses said that apparently they had killed a person by not giving this med properly. My husband was told by a nurse that the hospital is there for old people and truckers and usually everyone else is sent away with a excuse that the hospital does not have the facilities needed for care. After gallbladder surgery no record was made that I was taking meds for MS. They assumed I was a heroin user and refused me anything for surgery pain ... until my husband and I finally talked the nurse into calling the doctor who performed my surgery who than had to explain that I was indeed NOT a heroin user. Then the last experience was when I was in labor. No one seemed to know how to deliver a baby. The doctor was taking his time to show up. All the nurses were running around screaming at me not to push. I was not given any kind of medication to help with pain was never given a explanation. Very happy I did not have it because I found out a few years later that another couple had a bad experience and she was told not to push and her baby died as a result.

I have never in my 40+ years on this planet ever even thought of taking the time out of my day to post a review for any hospital, but my sisters life and health demand I try to save others from what our family has gone through. Im sure that Carlisle Hospital will take this down as soon as I post it but this is my warning to ANYONE who sees this post before they can. If you care about your loved ones, never take them to this hospital! My sister was diagnosed with a Pilocytic Astrocytoma in her Brain Stem (brain cancer) 4 years ago, which resulted in brain surgery, radiation to her head, as well as extensive chemotherapy. she has a medical history of strokes, loss of motor function, as well as extreme heart problems. She HAD no choice but to be taken to the Carlisle Hospital ER recently (as it was the closest hospital to her home) after she was shown to have a Sat rate (SO2) of 73 and a heart rate of 165 during a resting state registered and recorded by the medical equipment she had been hooked up to at the time prior to her trip to the ER. Our father, retired Sergeant Major of the US Army and war veteran, decorated with 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star AND a Silver Star, was with her during her ENTIRE visit to their ER. Carlisle ER staff and Doctors IGNORED every piece of information and past medical history that both my sister and Father passed on to them regarding her ultimately terminal condition. She received standard, generic tests that could be preformed by any first year resident, was literally given a "pat on the arm" and an entire syringe full of Ativan with a comment to her that "You need to just calm down"...and then out the door. NO HEAD SCAN FOR A CANCER PATIENT WITH A MALIGNANT TUMOR ATTACHED TO HER BRAIN STEM, WHICH REGULATES BODY FUNCTION, AND A HISTORY OF STROKES!!!! This is NOT health care and clearly NOT a concern on any level for the health of a patient....Id give Carlisle hospital a negative rating if I could.

Absolutely terrible place to go for care. I had to go this place to have some stitches removed. My primary care physician couldnt do it because he is on leave for something. (Why doesnt matter) So I go to Carlisle Regional Medical Center and the people on duty came off as uninterested. They didnt give me any indication as to what they intended to do let alone greet me. Just rolled me into a room. After half an hour of no word or a simple check in I went an asked someone what was going on. A nurse came back with me to my room with a really crappy attitude, looked at my stitches and asked me "Did you have those put in here?" I said "No..." then she proceeded to (For lack of a more accurate word) unethically inform me that no one in the medical center would even consider taking the stitches out. If the stitches werent put in at their medical center than it wasnt worth their effort. As much as i wanted to get a summary of my visit. I knew that would be impossible simply because every person i saw in the medical center clearly either did not want to be there at all or had absolutely no idea of how to do their own job. It was written on their faces...Anyone who can read facial expressions which is pretty natural for humans could see this at first sight. That is why I signed a AMA and left. When I got home I used my knowledge to remove my stitches. So far they look alright. I wont ever return to that medical center for anything. I dont care what my problem is... -last note- I wouldnt give this place a star on google reviews, but google reviews wont let me post unless i do...DON"T SEEK TREATMENT AT THIS MEDICAL CENTER!
