Herrin Hospital

Visited the Herrin ER over some abdominal pain and I can't tell you enough on how observant and thorough they were. I was very pleased with the way I was treated. I wish I could give them all a handshake and huge hugs cause they make a lot of other hospitals look bad. Thanks so much for all you guys do and most of all for doing it all so well. It helps so much when you are listened to and not shrugged off.

Herrin Hospital has the best ER I have ever been to. They did so good with taking care of my son. Excellent teamwork. Awesome nurses Liam, Tanzy, and Brandon and an awesome and dedicated RRT Ashton.

Herrin hospital has the nicest Nurses and Doctors. They work with you, they explain everything 2 or 3 x's just to make sure you understand. Dr. Ahuja is very nice. Would not hesitate to use Dr. Ahuja again.

Worst hospital ever! Went to ER with strep throat. Diagnosed by my Dr without a swab because she was treating anyway. It has gotten worse even after a steroid shot and 3 days of antibiotics. It is to the point of gagging me and when I start gagging I can not breath. While being triaged, they asked what was wrong. I told them I had step. I was interrupted to ask me how I knew. I said that I went to my Dr Friday. They asked if she swabbed me. I said no she was going to treat anyway so she did not. Then the triage lady said didn't she tell you it would take a few days for the antibiotics to work. At that point I said and if you wouldn't have interrupted me and listen it is getting worse to the point that it is gagging me and when I had I can't breath. They asked what medication I was on. I told them the generic zithromax 500 mg. She said so you had one pill the first night, 2 the second and one today. I said no I had one 500 mg pill each day. She said a zpac, I said no, zpacs don't work for me so she had to prescribe a higher dose which was 500 mg. She said do you have it with you, I told her no but it is in epic that she can look it up. At that point the PA had left the room, assuming to go look it up because they still didn't believe me, the PA came back and said her notes say you were treated for a sinus infection not step, still not believing me and basically calling me a liar just not in those words. I said well she told me it looked like step so she want going to swab me and just treat it. At this point no one had even bothered to look at my throat but were questioning every single thing I said over and over again implying I was not being honest. They did not even put me in a room. Just changed antibiotics and added Prednisone that I will not be able to take either because even liquid are making me gag them up and won't go down. I have pictures of my throat and my script, that they did not believe me about, that I will be sending in with the review I complete.

This hospital is the worst hospital I have ever experienced. The E.R. staff are rude and uneducated. I have lost two relatives in 6 months in this quack house. Alot of my family and I have had many bad experiences at this so called hospotal and will NEVER go there again. Especially when you feel like it's a hospital ran by al qaeda. Giving patients medicine they aren't suppose to have, not giving patients their meds they are suppose to have even if you tell them, they(doctors) ignore you and do it anyway. They definitely don't deserve the one star I had to give them. My advise to everyone is go somewhere else!!!!!.
