I'd like to preface this with the fact that we have had some wonderful nurses over the past 24 hours. However, if I could give Archbold ER 0 stars, I would.
My mother was sent to Archbold from a neighboring town after a daunting and scary CT result, which required us to be processed through the ER. After 4 hours, we were told she was being admitted and would be receiving a room. It is now hour 24 and we are still sitting in the ER after being told, 4 hours ago, that her room would be ready in 1.5 hours.
When asked whether Dr. BRANDON BERGAN would be giving us a status update roughly 6 hours after he stopped by, we were informed by a nurse that he was "too busy" to worry about that right now. Too busy to check the status of a patient sent here for a supposedly dire situation who is supposedly being moved to IMCU.
Additionally, it should not take 30 minutes for a nurse to respond to a patient needing to use the restroom. Nor should it take 1.5 hours for an IV to be hooked back up.
And another thing: telling a patient who is fully capable of leaving AMA that they would be arrested if they leave is a falsehood akin to lead to major issues.
So, at the time of this review, we are miserable in the ER and completely disgusted at the bedside manner of this department and hospital as a whole. read more
