I am 75 years old and not looking for any mind altering experience, but I do qualify as I have RA, and a number of other painful nerve and spinal problems. Pain medication in pill form make me sick to my stomach and I desperately need an alternative. Any rule has exceptions ( Doctors are told not to sign forms qualifying patients conditions for these products) but so far I haven't made the grade. My requests have brought a resounding "NO"! Please consider patients on a more case to case basis. The need is stronger than SC's resolve to keep it out of my reach. Janet A Edwards

He diagnosed me with depression, anxiety and Ritalin instead of looking at my charts. At no point was I referred to a psychiatrist. I was planning to commit suicide because I was in so much pain due to a hyperparathyroid issue and my brain chemistry being utterly destroyed by this negligent BRO doctor. My sister also became addicted to Adderall which is really common, also almost committed suicide. The office workers are just trying to make it and it's not their fault Springfield Clinic only cares about making money. They hire and fire regularly so they can pay people less. Do not go here. Go to SIU or Memorial.

After realizing our patient needed intense rehab before going home he was finally approved to go to 3B at Memorial. 3B is their therapy wing and known for being better than the kind of rehab you'd get from a nursing home facility. To get up to the room, everyday, usually twice a day, sometimes three times a day, you had to check in at a desk at the main entrance. Give the patients name and room number and get a name tag. Only a maximum of two people were allowed in the room at any time. My mom and I were always together, so if anyone else came by one of us had to leave. The room was an older room with older furnishings and the only place for visitors to sit was a window seat bench. BUT just like the other hospital, around the corner was a newer wing with a small visitors lounge with much more comfortable chairs and a table. The cafeteria here had much better hours and specials. I was a creature of habit and got the little taco bar and salad bar. I cannot make a salad without sunflower seeds anymore because they have them here!!! What was also different here is not only acknowledging the hard work the nurses and techs do night and day, but the work the physical therapist do. From PT, to OT to ST we were thankful for everything they do.

Stop pretending to care…read more Update the facilities. Especially update the ER Staff...some of them.. especially the nurses need to improve interactions with patients. If I know what the doctor said to me please don't think I'm making it up. I know precisely what was discussed. You weren't there. You suck to the outdated orders but thought you were correct. Yet when the internist started to look it up on the PC she found the consult instructions that were discussed with me. I was at the consultation. I know exactly what was discussed. Please do not ever second guess my ability to listen. Doctors and nurses make mistakes and forget to double check what they thoughtthey heard. I will never return to this facility. Specific reason.

Made sure that I had "read the instructions on my bottle" as if I had not, when I had read (in the pamphlet given with the medicine) about side effects and how you can only take a certain amount of dosages in a month. She made sure to repeat herself in case I hadn't heard the first or second time. By the end of the conversation I realized that she just wanted to be patronizing. I hope you feel better, Beatrice. I will not be calling the after hours nursing staff again because if that's the level of care they're demoting to, then I'll just figure it out on my own.

I didn't know until I talked to him that off-brand med and Aspirin are the same thing. After figuring all these out by myself, called Spfld Clinic on Wabash to replace my med with Aspirin.

Long story short I had to start paying for my meds out of pocket because they go in and alter my prescriptions once it's been sent to the pharmacy. They have to audacity to blame me for their decisions. They have absolutely no TRUE lgbt-friendly doctors in network. They constantly play the blame game by always pointing the finger at someone else because they wouldn't know how to take responsibility for anything if their lives depended on it. They gaslight and project their problems onto their policy holders. They openly attack you if you try to file a grievance against them. If you need health insurance in IL use ANYONE but them, unless you want to suffer like me.

Then as we were preparing for transfer the people at this hospital didn't even tell the new drs the medications that was giving. Now look at my daughter arms!!!!

Even discharge papers say "to home" which he could not go to. He went to skilled nursing home.

A family member had had a bad seizure, so I came to town for moral support and to help supply all the happy and positive vibes! Our patient was on one of the older floors that had not been remodeled so the chairs were uncomfortable. Especially after hours and hours of sitting. BUT right down the hall was a new wing that was for ICU patients and their new lounge was super nice. Nice comfy chairs. Blankets. A kitchenette with a microwave and Ice machine. Very helpful. The cafeteria here had weird hours and only certain stations were available after 2 or 3. The salad bar was fine. They also had a monthly revolving menu, so you always knew what hot bar would be available. When it comes to hospitals if you can't respect the work the nursing staff and technicians do all day everyday, you need your head checked. We appreciated all the hard work and hard things they have to do for patients who are in pain. At Saint Johns they offer up a reward program so your able to recognize and nominate a team member. We made sure to let them know how appreciated they all were everyday but also nominated the best of the best.
