Mammoth Hospital

I was a patient at Mammoth Hospital for 10 years. I had always had really easy periods, my whole life it was like I hardly noticed I had them. I came here to explore birth control options. I didn't want any systemic hormones like the pill, patch, injection, or arm implant. I also didn't want anything that I had to remember to use 15 minutes beforehand or even at the time of. My doctor told me about the Mirena iud, a uterine implant that would only deliver hormones locally, I would never have to think about it, and it would last for 5 years. It sounded like the perfect option - they have to tell you of any and all potential risks, right? After a year I had to have it removed because it was causing my uterus to bleed every time I 'had company in there'. After it was removed, they told me to invest in a heating pad because I could expect cramping for a day or so. That's all they said about the subject of cramping over all of the appointments I'd had with them about the Mirena. Now, it is 5 years later and every single time I get my period I suffer cramps worse than anyone I've ever known. The heating pad is 100% a must and I can't leave the bed or couch until they subside which sometimes takes 2 1/2 days. One time, I was in so much pain that I actually vomited. Once I searched the internet for my symptoms, I found my reactions to be very common. The omission of this information swayed my decision to receive treatment. If I had known there was a chance that I would be rendered useless for 12+ days of the year I never would have taken the risk. Part of being a healthcare provider is informing patients of the risks of the procedures that you plan to do to them so that they can make informed decisions about their health. This decision seems to have been made for me, and it seems that it will negatively affect me for the rest of my life. I'm now 30.

I've never met a more incompetent hospital. They call the cops on their own patients for no reason; even the cops were annoyed and try to intimidate people out of the Emergency Room. They freely and willingly give medical information to the police unsolicited and threaten dismissal of treatment and ask for bribes to cover it up. If you are a man with a disability you will have a hard time getting an appointment because by policy they won't let women treat you. Discriminate against anyone who isn't their friend or family.

If you want to die come to this hospital. I had blood gushing out of a wound in my hand and was about to faint. They still had me wait in line to register instead of bringing me in, my husband even pleed with them and they told him that we had to wait. Everyone knows the rule that if someone bleeding out they go first over the guy who’s drunk in front of and can’t walk or the rest who were fine enough with waiting. I will be talking to lawyers

Great care here. In and out in 30 minutes. Friendly staff.

A true gem located in the Sierra Mountains. I was taken to Mammoth Hospital after a snowboarding accident where I suffered internal organ injuries. The high quality care I received during my stay exceeded my expectations from a small rural hospital. The Drs involved in my care were knowledgeable, friendly and followed my treatment closely during my stay. The RNs were compassionate, personable and always made sure I was comfortable. All my interactions with the other staff from Imaging, Resipratory, PT, and Admin were always positive. I would not hesitate taking myself or a family member here for treatment.
