Licking Memorial Health Systems

May 2024

I am completely dumbfounded at how incompetent the staff is at this hospital. The lack of knowledge and overall care from this place is a disgrace. This hospital is so bad that when I did a follow-up appointment with my primary care doctor they literally said to avoid this hospital at all costs. PLEASE EVERYONE TRAVEL A LITTLE FURTHER AND AVOID THIS PLACE. YOU WILL WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE!!!

The one star goes to me for being the military widow . Did you know that 300k people die a year over malpractice and negligence? If you break your arm , sure . If you have a cardiac attack and get blown off by saying it's just anxiety, and had to be rushed to a different hospital, cause I was refused care when coming off the squad because of my age , race and gender . Never seen a doctor once and it caused ALOT of issues for my heart, lungs , ect , can't feel my left arm still , and I'm only 38 years old , so yall are liable . My son and I have been researching my own symptoms since January, and we think we have it figured out . If my PCP didn't order ambulatory orders we was packing me up to the Cleveland clinic or OSU cardiac clinic. Last year I got diagnosed with high blood pressure through a LMH doctor and finally after being put on a med for it . It still wasn't working . I messaged and called many times for an adjustment and little effort made . Fast forward a year later I switch to a new pcp threw LMH ended up having a TIA because when I asked the provider for a referral to a cardiologist, I was blown off and told "I'm too young to be put on these kind of meds " Even with heavy heart disease in my family . That's why I chose a new PCP . Had my follow ups with my new pcp and blood pressure got back in range thanks to her , however I also have been reaching out to her and seeing her quite often over symptoms I have been having since January 2024 . Now I have developed serious health issues over my cardiac episodes I was having while enroute by squad and was blown off as "anxiety " never even seen the doctor, so how he can diagnose me with something that I am already diagnosed with is beyond me, especially with not even seeing me. The stories I have heard over the emergency room department is sickening and inhumane and all of this is going to stop with me. I want my pcp to get me the treatment I need and she is and I'm greatful for that , but I shouldn't have had to go through a traumatic cardiac event in front of my son , because lord knows losing his dad was enough . Everyone needs to be held accountable and everyone will be. I am a military widow and a sole parent of a child and you guys tried to kill me, we will be seeing each other again, but in another building. -Psa please be aware to screenshot everything as the notes and all testing ect comes in on MyChart . Even though I didn't receive cardiac care here , they are known to update notes and change things for legal reasons, cause no one laid a hand on me on 2 different occasions, and I left without any papers because no one seen me . SCREENSHOT as they come in . You can get access to your results immediately when they come in . If anyone wants proof of changes find me on social . My quality of life is ruined and I should actually be hospitalized as we speak , but I'm "healthy enough to go " PSA You will be treated differently if you have state insurance. Once our Tricare went out and they switched my family to Buckeye health insurance. Quality of care goes downhill, and my oldest has an autoimmune disease and middle son is a diabetic. So with that said they judge you by insurance on what kind of care you will get . PSA I'm fully aware this can be used against me in court of law . All statements made are true with video evidence and MyChart notes . Good luck emergency staff on 4/30/24 make sure you dress nice when we see each other .

Me and my wife went in to the Licking Memorial Hospital at 8:30pm. From the moment we went in the emergency room doors it felt like we were an inconvenience to them. (The triage nurse was the only exception. She was awesome) they gave her an IV and gave her torodol through it. The nurse didn't put it on an IV pole like a normal person would. They hung it on the holder for the vital machine. After 5-10 minutes my wife said her IV was burning. The IV infiltrated. I let one of the nurses out there know that it was burning and they responded with such attitude of well she's getting discharged so we can just take it out. Leaving a softball sized lump on her arm to the point you could squeeze the fluid back out is ridiculous and completely unprofessional. If a patient or family member comes up to you saying that, take a look at the IV! On top of that she had a blood pressure of 170/35 ish which is also not ok in the slightest. The alarm was going off on the machine and not a single nurse came in to see what was going on. Terrible experience all around and completely unprofessional as a health care worker.
