Review of Mount Nittany Medical Center

Somehow my review got deleted so I will review again. Came here to the ER 03/2018 with severe abdominal pain I could barely walk/stand. First off the ER nurses were very rude and unprofessional/unpleasant to be around. I was throwing up couldn t keep anything down that s how much pain I was in. Told the physician my symptoms her name was Kimberly Johnson I will never ever forget her name. She took my blood and an ultrasound and said I was very anemic (I have NEVER been anemic in my whole life & told her that) and she told me to go get vitamins and eat something to get my iron back up. I was just like ok left feeling the same way I came in. Went and got vitamins tried to eat something and I couldn t. I only got worse as the night went on I actually felt like I was suffocating. That s because I got a call from a 2nd radiologist Dr. Stodard who reviewed my ultrasound when he came in he called me about 6AM the next morning and said I had blood filled in my entire abdomen and was pretty much slowly bleeding out internally. I could have DIED any minute after I had left that hospital the night before. I was in shock. I have two small boys who depend on me I was fighting for my life and I could feel it. I tried expressing this to Kimberly the original physician I had seen and she didn t listen. I got to the hospital ASAP after he called me that morning my doctors from Geisinger were there waiting for me and it was immediate prep for the OR. Again the nurses in the ER were so very rude just being so negative around me saying stuff about my doctor when they knew I was prepping for a surgery it was awful. The ICU nurses were very nice to me and my recovery nurses in the maternity section that s where they transferred me to recover they were all very nice and helpful. I don t know why the ER nurses are so rude there though.I was so thankful to have geisinger doctors I don t know if I would have survived if it had been Mt. Nittany since they couldn t even diagnose me properly or hear me out. What was suppose to be a minor laparoscopy ended up being a 4 hour major abdominal surgery. But I am thankful to be alive and forever thankful to my surgeons who helped saved my life. DEMAND ANSWERS FROM THESE PEOPLE DO NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE UNTIL YOU HAVE AN ANSWER PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR LIFE! I hope this review helps some people considering going here and hoping the doctors/physicians and ER nurses can change their attitudes and LISTEN to their patients.
