After a sudden attack of crippling severe pain & nausea, we called for an ambulance to take mom from a local hotel we were staying in while in Huntingdon for family reunion. ER doctor was baffled so admitted her for observation. Since it was a Saturday no tests or specialists were available for 2 days! I mentioned moving her to larger hospital. They assured me it wasn't necessary. But 4 days later of watching her suffer in tortured pain, we insisted they transfer our mother to The Geisinger. They said she was probably just constipated and needed an enema. I found out later Dr Waddle made a chart note on the 3rd day that mesenteric ischemia must be considered but they still didn't move her or treat her until morning if 5th day and only because we insisted. By the time they medivaced her to The Geisinger, her small intestine was necrotic & she was practically dead. Despite emergency surgery, we had to withdraw her from life support and watch her die slowly for another week. Sixteen days of hell and my family has been devastated for all time by their bungling incompetence. It cost my Dad's sudden decline in health & he died after 18 months of horrible loneliness and grief. The drs at Geisinger told me if she had been transferred within the first 12 to 24 hrs she would probably be alive. Instead they just let her rot to death and had the audacity when I asked them to do a better job of managing her pain that "we think your mother is confused about her pain" After they told us what had caused the initial attack of severe pain, I was able to find her fatal condition in a 3 minute Google search which stated "any elderly person admitted to ER with pain disproportionate to physical findings, acute mesenteric ischemia must be considered". They killed my mother! I will never forgive their lying to us. Dogs get better treatment than my mom did. To make matters worse the floor nurse was a total witch & yelled at my 83 yr old father who had been thru a stroke and had atrial fibrillation because he laid down on the extra bed in the room. He was physically and mentally exhausted watching his wife of 62 yrs dying before his eyes in excruciating unmanaged pain which they thought was her exaggerating her condition. I hate this hospital! This was where she had been brought into this world and they were the cause of the excruciating and unnecessary sudden end to her life. I tried to get justice but drs lie and cover for each other. Stay away from here if you want to live!

But I had to take my daughter to the ER while on vacation, which is never fun. The staff were friendly, and we were taken to an exam room pretty quickly. But once we were in the room, it seemed as if we were forgotten. Almost an hour went by before anyone came in to see my daughter, and then only after I went out to ask when she'd be seen. I do understand they have other patients that may have been in worse shape than she was, but someone could have at least checked in on us! The doctor who saw her was friendly and seemed compassionate, but after my daughter told her that she was already taking naproxen with no relief from her pain, the doctor wrote her a prescription for.........naproxen. Sorry, but as a nurse this is one of my biggest pet peeves....not everyone who comes into the hospital in pain is a drug seeker, and to simply write a prescription for something they can buy over the counter is unacceptable in my opinion. Especially when they've told you that they're already taking that drug with no results. So while I was ready to give the doc a glowing review for being friendly, she lost some points when that prescription was delivered by the nurse. Sorry doc, but you really should learn to listen to your patients a bit better. So the hospital gets good marks for friendly staff, but I had to ding them for the long wait with no communication and the screw up by the doc on the prescription.

His med assistant Alexis bent over backwards to get me ready for surgery and she handled Medicare like a pro. Things were even more topnotch when we got there the day of my surgery. Security very kindly escorted us to the correct hallway as we got there a bit early and the front was not open yet. And the nurses in pre-op were very thorough and moved me right along. The nurse in the OR made me feel very comfortable. Once i got to the floor, the nurses were amazing as well. Once the nerve block wore off at about 2 am I turned in to a whiney brat. They very patiently worked with me to get my pain under control. The nurses were amazing in how they all worked together. And tbh eating was not high on my priority list but i knew I had to. It was quite palatable!

I have been to this hospital near 20+ times; once as a patient and 19+ as company. There have been several emergencies and several non-emergencies. Today, we were luckily assigned with a lady named Yvette in the ER and she may have been the most pleasant person I've come in contact with yet in all my visits. The wait time Is always a negative no matter where you go. It's a hospital. Would you rather it that the lab techs are faster and more careless with your labs? It would be nice if there was a round about or drop off at the ER so you could easily help disabled people into vehicles.
