University of Mississippi Medical Center Emergency Room

"Emergency room: Horrible management My person was taken by ambulance at NOON, it is currently 10pm and he's STILL in the ER and I have called many many times since 2pm and not a single person has answered his nurse phone. I left a message with the charge nurse earlier today and she said his nurse would call me back, nothing. Haven't heard from anyone. This is truly a disgrace!!!"

"I used to think the UMMC hospital was a great hospital, but not anymore. My old neighbor was admitted and his experience was truly horrible. Not only did the doctors not order any significant tests during his 2 week stay, but the nurses there scared and harassed him. They told him that he had to leave the hospital and that no one wanted him, so they were going to dump him at a homeless shelter. He called my sister crying. He couldn't walk or take care of himself and his legs were literally black, but all the hospital wanted was for him to get out of the hospital. When he went home his doctor sent him to a specialist who actually did some proper tests, and called my sister (now his medical power of attorney) this morning when she got his blood tests back and said she wanted him back in the hospital immediately. That he can't live alone. All of which we told the doctors at UMMC. Of course he will not be sent back to UMMC. Finally he's getting some proper care. I can't believe any one of the problems experienced at UMMC actually ever occurred, much less all of them. What a dump. It's sad that such a prestigious hospital has become so awful. UPDATE: my neighbor finally went to a hospital that took him seriously. Come to find out that he needs open heart surgery. If the "medical professionals" at UMMC were doing their job they would have done more than an EKG when my sister told them to check his heart. He had obvious, visible and serious signs of heart failure. It's astonishing to me that a hospital could miss this and SEND HIM HOME!"

"Oh my goodness just reading the reviews this place needs to close down, all of these patients are not lying about this hospital, with ne being a nurse I could never treat Patients like these doctor's and medical staff do. The Lord is going to punished you mean people"

"This is the worst Er that I have ever experienced in my life. We arrived to the er at 5:45pm, it is currently 12am & we have yet to be pulled from the waiting room. They had us sitting in the rapid waiting room from the time of arrival until 10pm. They then had us move into the main waiting room since rapid closed at 9pm. Before him asking us to move waiting rooms, he stated that he had just noticed our name on the board, so we had been sitting there hours without anyone ever even realizing that we were waiting to be seen.. No one has came to reassure us or check on us. I have went to ask about waiting times several times, and all I get is attitudes & careless dismissals. The waiting room is filled with patients in pain, patients in gowns, dripping blood on the floor, etc. no one seems to care. This establishment needs to be shut down & sued. This is a poor excuse for a hospital & my heart breaks for anyone who has to come here. I wish I could give 0 stars. I will not be back. I don’t know what else to do, but to write this review & hope and pray that anyone who sees it, that’s considering coming here, runs! Save yourselves the hassle & stress please. After 10 hours of waiting in the waiting room & seeing 2 shift changes, we were finally pulled into a room, only to wait another 2 hours for tests & some pain meds. I highly recommend you not to go here."

"My brother was airlifted there due to a car accident that left his neck broken, and him paralyzed from the waist down, The surgical ICU was a pretty good staff. But when he got to the second floor that's when the trouble began, they would laugh at him, make fun of him, yell at him, and belittle him. They also did not feed him in a timely manner.They would put his food across the room on a table knowing full well that he could not get up and reach his food They also knew that he was incapable of feeding himself yet they let his food sit there get cold and hard before they decided to feed him, this happened more than once. When turning him they were a little rough with him also. I have never in my life seen this kind of treatment at a hospital before or one that had such low concern for their patients. I would not recommend a dog to that hospital My wish is that hospital would completely close down. And to top it all off when you would call and ask about him, They had him listed under an unknown name, And although all of his paperwork has been filled out his identity has been established they are still going under his unknown name which is completely stupid. Honestly I could write a book on the poor treatment he received."
