Indiana Regional Medical Center

My father has been in IRMC for two weeks now. I have been really impressed with the attitudes of the nurses, doctors and social workers I've encountered, as well as with the cleanliness and overall condition of the facilities. Everyone to whom I've spoken has been compassionate, and very professional. I suspect a lot of the poor reviews given were penned by individuals suffering from ingrown toenails, and can't understand that real trauma comes first. In my case, my family has found themselves in a very difficult situation, and far from home, and these folks have done everything they could to put us at our ease. Thank you very, very much!

Wow. Just scheduling an appointment is a nightmare. Tried their online scheduling tool. Did not get a response. Called and (of course) got an answering machine. Eventually got a call back. Mentioned the online tool and the person didn't seem to know what I was talking about. Transfers me to the doctors office where the receptionist answers "hello". I had to ask if I got the right office. Then she promptly puts me on hold and it disconnects. Have to start all over again (i.e., leave another phone message). Now waiting for a call back.

My father went in for PCP-ordered blood work last week. The nurses said he did not look good (pale and flushed) and took him -out- to his car in a wheelchair. My dad never uses walking assistance. Fast forward 6 hours later, he's in the ICU. Had we not pressured him to go back that night and to the ER, he'd possibly be dead right now. He still hasn't been discharged, but anyone working in that hospital who is doing lab work or any tests and sees a patient who doesn't look and/or function normally should recommend immediate medical attention. Duh! My father has been pleased with his doctor since being admitted, so for that I'm giving an extra star.

Just wanted to give appreciation to the emergency room staff today. I Took my sick little boy in. Today's his birthday ☹ they were absolutely so sweet and kind to him. Sang him happy birthday, got him a treat and toys too! Definitely amazing people ❤

Yesterday was the second time our family physician sent one of our daughters to their ER..first time my daughter was vomiting and diarrhea for 5 days already.clearly needed admitted..nope got some PA who was training said maybe viral..maybe bacterial.can you dehydration etc by now..vomited while being examined and yet sent home.. yesterday my daughter who has severe autoimmune disease..MCTD..sent straight from docs..gave s bag of fluids and sent home after 3 days of vomiting and diarrhea.. I honestly believe they see my $200 er visit Co pay and say don't keep we want their $ and if you don't have the $ I've seen them hassle 2 young kids..my husband paid my over 18 daughters just so she wouldn't be stressed..they are horrible
