Margaret Mary Hospice

Aug 2025

I highly recommend Margaret Mary for everything except their Emergency Room. In March, I had a bowel perforation during a colonoscopy (nobody's fault, it just happened) and my MM gastro (AMAZING DOCTOR BTW) told me to go the MM ER if I started bleeding again and I'd be transferred to IU. He had went ahead and contacted the surgical team up there just in case. I started bleeding and went in with my mom. I was yelled at by radiology because I couldn't move fast enough for him and couldn't communicate properly due to my abdominal cavity being filled with leaked feces. I was sobbing on the toilet that was filled with blood and the nurse told me to hurry up after I told her I thought I was dying (btw, I literally was dying). My mom informed them that my doctor had told the surgical team up at IU already and they were prepared for the situation, I heard the doctor call her a liar as soon as she left and who does she think she is blah blah blah and that it'll be hours before they have a bed blah blah blah. My mom was telling the truth and the doctor was really snotty with me when he came in within about an hour to tell me they already had a bed somehow (it shocked them that trash was important somehow). Since the doctor downplayed how sick I was because he was treating me like I was just there for drugs, I was sent to the normal surge-med floor and then quickly sent to ICU when they realized how badly I had been miscategorized. I made a complaint about the situation, but when I had to go back due internal bleeding a month later, they more than proved that their ER staff was still just going to keep treating patients like trash if they are neurodivergent or not part of a higher income bracket. I'm super grateful for the wonderful mental health team here at Margaret Mary that has helped me process medical trauma. Also, I had to BEG for help with my pain. I had literal poop in my abdominal cavity and was in the process of going septic and I had to BEG like a dog for a treat. I get there's an opiate epidemic but I'm pretty sure even Satan thought that was a d*ck move.
