Holzer Medical Center Jackson Emergency Department

"If you have an emergency, do not come here. My husband filleted his knee open with a chainsaw down to the bone, we’ve been here 3 hours now and they still haven’t called him to the back. EDIT- it’s now been 5 hours, and still no care."

"Came in while I was 20 weeks pregnant to the Urgent Care only to find out 15 minutes later they don’t see pregnant woman in Urgent Care and I would have to drive to the ER. Not a problem, i have to wait in the ER for an hour even though there is only one other person in the waiting room. Im still very calm. But between then forgetting to take my blood after 3 hours waiting to me waiting 6 hours total for a much need ultrasound only for them to tell me the person who would conduct the ultrasound took this long to decided if they wanted to travel to give me one only to say they wouldn’t be. I went to a different ER a few weeks later due to same pain only to find out that I have a large mass on my liver which I would have known sooner if ER had done their job. Am still waiting for blood and urine test results."

"The doctors there are not competent. Came in needing stitches and they placed a butterfly bandage- resulting in another hospital visit. Something this simple was not treated correctly therefore they could not handle a true illness."

"Been laying in the hallway at the ER in pain for close to three hours now. That is incredibly slow for this little area. There was only 5-6 people when I hobbled in, all those people are also still in the waiting area. The employees at the desk just say “it’s been really busy this evening”. I haven’t saw a single patient get called back. Do I need to call an ambulance to pick me up and drive around the building to get back there or what? This is ridiculous."

"Wow... Just wow. We took our son to Holzer emergency room in Jackson and they took us back to a room. The male nurse was kind of trading us like we were exaggerating things even with a stack of incident report from school showing his violent homicidal suicidal Behavior. They refuse to give my son an ink pen to draw with which was the right thing to do oh, so my son trashes the room takes off running to the hospital while we're screaming stop him stop him and the nurses are just looking at us with blank looks on their faces. So we woke him up to the nurse's station and ask that you be restrained they told us no they're not going to do it. So after the nurses and doctors surround us like criminals and that male nurse says to me to stop threatening him with when I never threatened him at all. I picked my son up off the floor put him on my shoulder and he beat the living hell out of me. I walk him out of the emergency room and to the car and the whole staff follows us out to the car riding down or license plate number and saying they're going to call the police. We are on our way to Children's in Columbus"
