Review of Mountain West Medical Center

The emergency room at this hospital is by far one ...

The emergency room at this hospital is by far one of the worst. The doctors here have terrible bedside manner, and the nurses do not know how to do their job. I was stuck 5 times before they could even get a vein on me and I myself am an RN and by the 5th poke I had to guide them, after telling them which vein I preferred. I had a bunch of labs and CT done, along with pain and nausea medications given to me. The nurse did not inform me of any medication that was going to be given to me, I am highly allergic to morphine and she was very close to giving it to me. I had to ask her to tell me, if not I probably would have had a terrible reaction and would've had hives all over my body. after all of that was done, the physician NEvER came back in to see me and explain anything to me. The nurse simply came back in and said "here are your discharge instructions, and good luck" . I have never had such a terrible experience with a physician in my life. They have ZERO sympathy, and I had ZERO pain relief. If you need to be seen in an emergency room, stay away from this place. It is worth the drive for you to head to IMC or the University of Utah hospital. I hope no one ever has to experience what I went through.
