University of Mississippi Medical Center

"Got a call from here and half a voicemail with no details. When I called back they were VERY unhelpful on why I was called. How are you going to give me an attitude when I am the victim of this situation? Had to go through my whole family and friends list to make sure everyone was okay. Now I’m just having to assume it was a wrong number call. Unprofessional and stressful."

"I went to the ER 2 weeks ago for a vein popping out my forehead from my eyebrow to hair line and I have seizures, I waited 5 hours and not one person was called back. My brother is there now spitting up blood and looks like some of his lungs and others told him they been waiting 8 hours already. You would think they would go by the worst and get them in to see a doctor. But no, they rather patients take a chance on dieing waiting in their ER before they get seen. I wish I would have went to St. D'Souza first and all my records be other there and I wished my brother would have done the same, but he had is throat cancer treatment there and feeding tube and all that and now he has to wait till they decide they will see anybody. It's ashamed how ummc is now. It used to be the best hospital in Jackson to go to. Smh, not any more."

"This emergency room is not safe from the second you walk in the door and are herded like cattle into a like closer than 6 feet apart, everyone then goes to a row of 6 chairs side by side. To a waiting room full of sick people to wait hours to get an image done. Very sad our leading hospital in Mississippi ( supposedly) is being this careless about speed of illness in 2024."

"I wish the hospital would let children in to see their parent. I know so many hospitals that allow kids to go with their parents if one parent is with the patient. I hope one day they will be like the other hospitals and allow kids to be able to see their parent or parents. My husband didn't get to see his kids for almost 2 weeks. I understand it maybe a safety issue or something but it is hard being away from your kids long period of times."

"If I could vote 0 stars I would. I'm at the point where I'd like to start a petition to expand Emergency Room care. There is no reason people should wait 9 hours to be seen. More room needs to be created and/or more emergency room staff. And if there's a hiring issue, increase the salary."
