Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital: "Yesterday 8-24-22 was in Methodist ER for over 8 hrs. Labs and CT done. In actual exam, despite my history of 3 weeks of w orsening abdominal pain, and previous hospitalization 2x for intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis, dr. did not listen for bowel sounds, dismissed me with laxative. My exam room had a large container of urine on floor outside the door. All floors and bathrooms needed cleaning.
During ER wait, another patient arrived vomiting and continued for hours, retching into emesis bags in full view of all. Patients were sitting outside and in hallways. If their ER is that overcrowded, shouldn't they turn people away to another hospital? I agree I will not return there. Very stunning." - Roberta

Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital: "I was taken to Methodist Hospital ER in March 2017 for sepsis. Had great care. Was released after 5 days with script of pennicillin. Apparently am allergic as 3 hours later I was vomiting white fluid and pure blood diarrhea. Back to ER. No beds. I was put into a broken wheelchair with a vomit bag and pushed into waiting room under their big-screen tv for all to watch as I vomited, etc. Had to crawl to a bathroom down the hall. Had to throw out my pants. Back to waiting room holding my shirt down over me best I could. Is this a third-world ER??? I will NEVER go back! I'd rather die." - Ms
