Don't respect patient's rights

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Daytime shift was very good but the night shift was a nightmare. A male CNA made an inappropriate comment to me. I didn't sleep at all at night as I didn't feel safe. The nurse who drew my blood ignored me when I said right arm 3 times. She attempted to take it out of my left hand but was unsuccessful. Then with a smirk she said she would have to try my right hand. 3 weeks later the back of my left hand is still bruised. Lutheran Hospital must like to employ sadists. Hospitals are scary enough without incompetent nurses terrifying the patient further. Never going back there again.

Wait time

Once a oatient checks in, the wait time is unacceptable. Of the 7 front registration booths, only two are open with 16 people waiting to register!

Terrible ER visit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My 87 yr old mother fell and hit her head and had an instant "nuggy". I took her to the er, we checked in and sat in that waiting room for 2 HOURS.

When they did finally call us back to check vitals her "nuggy" had gone down. I asked the nurse once they take her vitals will we be waiting for another 2 or 3 hours and she said "more than likely". What kind of ER service is that? The nurse said you can always call her dr.

in the morning if you don't want to wait. The website saying the wait is 24 minutes is a blatant lie! Having to wait up to 5 hours to see someone in an er is ridiculous especially for an 87 yr old. No one came to check on anyone in that waiting room.

Several people in there were angry for having to wait so long and they were there before I was. I think this may be our last vs to Lutheran.

So call her doctor. Your state doesn’t like universal healthcare till someone needs it.

How does it feel? Keep voting RED.

Not real friendly, plus horrible billing department

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My wife received physical therapy for nearly 7 months, twice per week, so we had ample time to get a feel of hospital overall. Therapists were mostly friendly, but always seemed preoccupied for unknown reasons. Then billing/co-pays were billed very long after service, in one case, three years later!!! And then, with the threat of turning over to collection agent. I challenged the amount, and after two months they corrected the invoice lowering it by 80 percent! NOT TRUSTING them any longer. Transferred all care to Parkview, which was instantly like a breath of fresh air.. Something is wrong at Lutheran!!

Terrible Care

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Took my wife to the ER for extreme abdominal pain which they gave her an injection of pain medication. The injection didn't work we called the nurse and said she needed something else.

It took them close to an hour to get someone in to finally give her a diffrent medication for the pain.

During that time the pain, plus the unbearably hot room, made her nauseous and we called the nurse again to get something for her to throw up in. No one came to the room to give her something to throw up in for a half hour when they brought the other pain medication.

Since the room was so hot she wanted some water or ice at least it took two and a half hours to get a simple bottle of water.

No concern for caregivers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Draconian policies put in place due to Covid. The airline industry declares that theres virtually no way for you to get Covid on an airplane when wearing a mask, even though youre sitting 3 from the next passenger for sometimes hours, but this hospital wont even let caregivers sit in the lobby with a mask on while a family member gets surgery. Instead, they make you sit in your car in 30 degree weather. Ive had to deal with this substandard hospital for over 2 decades, and the service just reaches a new low each time were forced to go there. Avoid this hospital system at all cost.

Terrible experience

My father went to Lutheran Hospital by ambulance after have multiple seizures. My father was in ICU for 3 days then discharged directly from ICU. My father was unable to walk, talk, or do any of the activities of daily living. My father was also very confused. Since, he was in ICU I was unable to visit him because of covid. This hospital discharged my father home with no assistance for him, while very confused. I ended up having to call 911, and he was admitted to Fairview.

I brought our Priest to Lutheran on Tuesday 3-10-20 for a colonoscopy. He is from Sri Lanka, has only been here for 4 months. I was so pleased, from the moment we walked in the door, until we left. He, being from a foreign country, was a little dubious, as to what was to happen. The nursing staff that attended, were so kind, professional, and outstanding, when we left Fr. Wimal was very impressed with the way he was treated. This department needs to be commended on patient care, professionalism, and knowledge. I guarantee Fr. Wimal will never hesitate to return to Lutheran Hospital. Should you have any questions, or would like to speak to me, please call me at: 260-447-**** Dolly Pike Dollypike33@***.com

So contacted patient customer service ,thought they really cared ,was I wrong received a phone call from head dr. He proceeded to tell me why I was sent home was my fault because I said I wanted to leave but who am I to tell Dr that I wouldn't stay and if that was true how come I sent my husband home to get me things to stay overnight which he did and came back with ,he also missed the point that they let me go home still having trouble breathing and coughing ,had my husband and sister there as witnesses ,I called patient customer service again after speaking to that Dr and never heard back from them ,received a bill and now expected to pay ,why ?

What did they do ? '

Horrifying procedure.

Lutheran Hospital - Horrifying procedure.
I had an echo endoscopy of my heart and I was supposed to be under "twilight" they administered the meds, but I told them I was wide awake I was told I had enough it would kick in. well it never did I felt everything and saw everything. I started gurgling and thrashing two nurses held me down. I received a bruise on my inner knee because of them. I felt all the pain in my esophagus and heart from the probe. The nurse had the nerve to say that I kept dozing, um no i was closing my eyes to block the image of a wand down my throat and you guys holding me still. I never will forget the gurgling sounds, I was in shock when my husband came to get me I was afraid to speak up. I never did fall asleep till that night and that was with a xanax to calm me down.

This hospital really sucks! High staff turnover, they have to go out of the country looking for staff and then they harass them *** when that's not good enough they suspend them indefinitely!

Toxic environment. Next time go to Parkview.

Corporate money machine; not health care

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My dad has been in this hospital multiple times over the past 5 years. The nurses and techs provide great care. The cardiologist team, attending to my father, however have been sub par, They are no longer interested in a patient's recovery. If you are over a certain age, they send you home to die. We had to continually push the doctors to help my father. After filing appeals, we finally got him transferred to another hospital who would treat his heart condition. In addition, the hospital was dirty. My dad's room was dusty, trash & linnot emptied; the public restrooms were disgusting! There is no cleaning crew on the weekends.
