Being from out of state and having a medical emergency is scary enough. Unfortunately I had to be admitted to this hospital three times for the same issue that is still a mystery. I'm a retired nurse, in fact I was a nurse manager at a level 1 trauma center and I have never been treated worse. The ED is subpar. I had a fall risk on my bracket, they made me go to the rest room unattended and I fell, strike one. My husband had to "paint the scenario" to the ED doctor to get me admitted, strike two. My floor doctor was rude, condecending, uncaring, and actually combative with me and I assume that it's because she is in over her head. I know that when I return to my home state my medical needs will be attended to professionally by real doctors that actually care. Oh and since I fell under Banners care the legal aspects of "negligence" will be attended to as well. Stay away from this hospital at all costs and that is a professional opinion.
