Holy Cross Hospital-Jordan Valley: "Radiology : forgot to ask pregnancy status. Heard technician yelling “what’s that!?” In the back room. Was charged twice and it hit my credit. $16,000 bill. Wow.
Secondly: the labor & delivery is scary. Doctor did not administer antibiotics. Malpractice going on there.
Nurses are very good and kind however. " - Jgirl

Mountain West Medical Center: "I have been waiting with kidney stones 2.5 hours now with now relief. They couldn’t find a vein so they said for me to go out into the waiting room until they found one. Still here and keep watching everyone else go back. Pretty upset and still hurting! " - Katie

Lds Hospital: "I came into the ER with a huge swallon inflamed foot on the right side they had to weel me back in a wheel chair I couldn't even walk. The doctor came in and did an ultrasound and said it was full of fluid and puss and the only way to take care of it is antibiotics. The doctor ordered pain medicine and I've been waiting for over 2 hours for the nurse to bring me the pain meds. He has gone in to other rooms and gave medication to patients that got here way after me and I'm still sitting here suffering in pain can't walk. What a jerk. I think LDS hospital has the WORST care for there patients they are so rude I've pushed the nurses button about it and a nurse walks over here with a stuck up attitude, I asked her to please bring me some water real quick and she told me no because she has patients, I am a patient. How rude there whole staff is a joke I can't stand this hospital and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone " - Katherine

Lds Hospital: "This place is hit and miss with service based mostly on shift that I found. A medication error on their part almost killed me because a night shift when here 3 weeks overprescribed my insulin by about 10x what my dose should've been and I was narrowly avoided a diabetic coma. Mistakes happen in places honest and hard working but I still haven't received answer on how that happened and unfortunately I had to come to different floor this past weekend and they made similar errors. When I brought up my concern and what happened before they merely got defensive and said I should only think of that error as it only being other floor as if it was another facility altogether. They tried to over prescribe insulin again but this time I checked and refused the over done part of it and their attitude changed and eventually I needed to leave. My blood levels for everything were within correct medical levels but they wanted to keep me and they changed desired levels so that I had to stay. Upon questioning the DOCTOR (Shaw) said they changed desired levels to keep me there because I had alcohol use on my record and said that I wanted to leave early, not because they only barely killed me on last visit, but because I had that alcohol use on my record so I must have wanted to check out "to go home and use and make more bad decisions" (actual quote from doctor I only met just then when I wanted to leave, ie, she called me a deadbeat drug user within minutes of meeting me and without discussion).. I had to call a third person to help "allow them" to release me which again was based on doctors personal morality, not medical numbers. If you have to bring in others to get them to release someone legally and argue and had to tell them I had friend I almost called on the local police department, it implies shitty and in fact illegal behavior. When I brought up prior medication error (where I was almost put in coma, maybe killed by their error) they became super defensive, cut off all medications (even go-home meds to help keep me stabilized) and escorted me to door with no paperwork, meds, or instructions. I honestly have feeling that their lies then might have been to cover up their prior error (they probably caught wind of my pending malpractice suit) and would go so far as risk my health and even life to cover their asses. I believe then that they attempted what amounted to attempted manslaughter to cover themselves.

Bottom line, if I can never go there again, I won't. I believe I'd rather go somewhere or just not seek medical help because you'd go here to die and I didn't want that. Maybe other stats disagree, but, your life is at greater risk seeking treatment here than untreated let alone if you went to different hospital. ..they... can.. and if they see need.. Will -try to- kill you ot let you die. Go somewhere else or if no option, try leaches first, there's better success rate than LDS treatment.

Save your life. Don't go to LDS hospital.

Modern day murderers." - Shawn
