Corrupt dens of thieves, rural health fails to provide service regularly, sending information to the wrong insurance about twice a year for over fifteen years, failure to send required medical documents regularly, entitled terrible employees who would rather start confrontation then to offer help. No competent patient advocate, no effective scheduling, no returned calls, general half assery.

This hospital is an absolute joke. I came in at 11 am by 130pm I was still in the lobby. I came in for chest pain shortness of breath pounding head and pain in my right are. While sitting there I lost feeling in my fingers blacked out once. Not 1 no one let alone a nurse dr or anyone who worked in the hospital checked on me. I did get triaged and my blood pressure was through the roof. I watched as everyone else got taken back checked and discharged. While i sat in the lobby in tears. I am now on my way to a different facility to be seen.

Primary care is here, and I've been a couple times. Sometimes it's tricky to get a hold of someone. They do accept voicemails, but depending on the lab, it may take a bit to get a response. In person, the physicians and nurses and administration are all very polite. Editing my previous post after they started returning my calls.

4:30 am. ER waiting room empty. Did I get ice packs for my busted up face during my entire 3 hour wait time? NO While waiting with one eye swollen shut and one arm in a sling did a security guard INSIST that I move my vehicle out to the main street? YES (nearly drove away at this point) Did anyone clean my open facial wounds contaminated with gas and oil? NO After 3 hours, was it recommended that I apply ice packs ASAP. YES Was the last thing said to me "You're lucky it wasn't 10 hours"? YES.
