The Nebraska Methodist Hospital: "I had The worst ER visit.
I got in the room quick cause no one was there but then they completely forgot about me as I waited 2 hours for an X-ray. I know they forgot cause I herd them talking.
Finally I got it done. Then 30 more minutes I owl or cause I have to pee and a nurse come into my room and gets rude with me. Days the doctor is helping people who actually need it like I completely done matter. Like I'm Lieing. And I had thumb and elbow issues but They didn't even look at my thumb. Then they told me to Wrap my arm but didn't give me anything to Wrap it with. Even though I told them I don't have money till I get paid in 2 days. And I have insurance so it's not like I was getting helped for fee. They seriously didn't help me at all. And the stuff was rude. The least who came and got ride with me continued to be rude While she discharged me. I feel like I was treated unfairly and rude. I don't recommend the er at Methodist." - Natasha
