Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital: Emergency Room

"The ER us great those people deal with so much. Saved me and always treat my Mom wonderfuly. But the emt workers are not up to par, they take way too long to load a 90lb person. Also left the front gate opened and unlocked behind them. Garage was left opened for a long time while taking a break and catching up with each other and water got all over my items. I wish they could perform a fraction of what the ER does daily."

"I have to give one star to beable to share my review but I would give them negative stars, if I could. Do not go here if you are having a mental breakdown, have a history of mental illness, are struggling with depression/anxiety, or are suicidal. This place has forever left a scar with me. I was taken here by ambulance and needed help. I was on vacation with my friends and took a THC gummy (I did think it was only a cbd gummy) to loosen up and relax with my girlfriends. I ended up having the biggest panic/anxiety attack I've ever had. I thought at one point that I was having a heart attack or dying or that maybe the gummy was laced with something (it was bought at a legal Marijuana store) I did a urine test to make sure but I did ask for a blood test to as well to check for other things that could have been in that gummy (remember I was having a mental break down at that point and thought I was dying or even already dead and this was my hell) they would not do a blood test. The doctor was the worst doctor I've ever experienced and just kept trying to get me to take a shot of Ground black pepper, to calm my symptoms down. I researched this later and it turns out that a new discovery has infact proven Pepper to be helpful but in that moment and with that doctor and staff, of course I couldn't do it and did not trust it. They kept prying and only on that, not about anything that I was asking, like having my blood drawn or letting me stay there. The doctor watched me call call several people, including the ladies I was with at the beach house for vacation but I never thought I was having to call people to come pick me up so I never asked anyone to come get me because I thought I needed to stay overnight for observation. One of the girls I was with earlier told me that I tried to kill myself. I came in with no shoes because I kept trying to run away from that house but the ladies always talked me into coming back, I did manage to get away and ran with all of my might. I don't know where I ended up but I saw a lot of strangers and I kept asking for help. Someone called an ambulance for me and all I remember was laying in the middle of the road. It is still blury so I'm sorry I don't know for sure, before posting this but I knew I had to get this story out so maybe I can help someone else, going through something similar and may not even know how bad it maybe. The doctor and staff never helped me call anyone or come up with a plan to leave. I would rather actually die then ever go back there. They made me feel like I didn't matter and that I was a waste of their time. I did think about killing myself a lot after leaving there. Here is the worst part of all. The doctor came into my room to check on me, after I had made phone calls and he asked me if anyone was coming to pick me up. I was very confused but told him no because I thought I needed to stay there. I told him that my sister, who I had also just called because I was terrified of what I may have just done and needed to hear her voice. (She lives in Washington and just had my beautiful baby neice a month ago so she could not come get me, nor what I want to put that on her.) I told him that she works in the medical field and told me that she told me that I was safe there and they were going to keep me over night for observation. The ladies I was with, that I also called said the same thing. So in the state I was in, I realized it was probably the best thing right now. I told the doctor all of this and he just looked at me with disgust and said, "we do not over night Marijuana overdoses and that I need to call someone to come get me. He said, "if you don't find someone to come get you, I will discharge you and you can go sit in the lobby." I was then terrified at this point and sick to my stomach. He then said. "I need to go care for patients that are actually sick, and then left the room. I started crying and wanted to just run out of there so fast but was also afraid of what I might do. Then I recieved a phone call from my step mom,"

"I'm currently in the ER and it has been a wonderful experience! I was sent over from urgent care and when I arrived they already had me checked in and a room ready for me. I got the hoody doc and he's great! He's very kind, thorough, and made sure I understand everything they are doing and why. Every member of the staff takes the time to answer all my questions and checks on me consistently. The nurse was even concerned about my neck not having enough pillow support. (His words exactly.) What would normally be a highly anxious and frantic situation for me has been quite the opposite and the demeanor of the entire staff is keeping me from panicking."

"Staff is rude and Incredibly unprofessional. They give constant push back against your stated symptoms and will attempt to minimize them in order to get you out the door sooner. In the middle a seizure episode I what is left alone in a corner of the waiting room. Thank goodness my partner was there to help me, but I was flat-out ignored by staff who were looking right at me. Worst emergency room experience I have ever had."

"I just wanted to share my gratitude for the great and attentive service I experienced tonight in the ER. Shannon at the front ER check in got me right in as I was having a hard time breathing due to congestive heart failure. I was immediately cared for by Ann who was very pleasant and professional throughout my many hours in her care. Dr. Andescavage took the time to thoroughly walk me through and explain the entire process. The staff went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that I was very well taken care of...THANK YOU...YOU ARE APPRECIATED"
