Lawrence &Amp; Memorial Hospital

I had gone to LMH to get my leg looked at after taking a hit with a softball. I sat in the waiting room for over an hour and a half, I remember desperately wanting to leave after I reached my diagnosis (it was just a bone bruise), but no one came to discharge me for a half hour so I couldn’t. I actually had to grab someone in order for the discharge process to happen.

All they took were X-rays (which is a service that I am happy to pay for). I was giving no pain medication, no other services were performed on me, no doctors even really talked to me while I was sitting there. Just the x-rays. Please explain to me how sitting in a room off to the side warrants $900 (WITH health insurance... it was doubled that without) worth of “Emergency Room” bills, when I received no additional services? I can not believe it. I was there for 1.5–2 hours max (due to their inability to work efficiently, I should have been out of there in a hour AT MOST). How does that cost $900 out of pocket?

One of the worst hospitals I have ever been to. They undermine you. Believe they know more than you and are very condescending. They don't like to do much work to get to the root of a problem. If you have a true emergency I would recommend going any where but LMH. My 4 month old son died July 9th 2018 after valuable time was wasted taking him to LMH first instead of straight to Children's Mercy. They were not prepared and it was over there heads. Took my daughter there on 5-7-2019 after she vomited fecal matter. Was told there is nothing wrong with her. All they were willing to do was run labs. Now we are at Children's Mercy with a bowel obstruction. This hospital is a joke!

Im from out of state the reviews i read are nothing like what i read i was treated great er staff was awsom

Sitting in the ER waiting room for hours, 4 so far for a ROOM. Will never come back.

I was recently admitted into LMH and I have to say they took care of me the minute I came through those doors. The staff was very professional about the care they gave me. I had no idea what was going on with my health but I'm recovering. I'm so thankful for all those who helped me. They worked as a team and I'm grateful for the excellent care I recieved! God bless!
