This may be the most incompetent hospital around ...when I told them there was something they were missing I was told I could get my own bloodwork done at community labs in missoula. That was the best advice I ever took....they were missing something...nobody at this hospital even reached out to discuss the results of my blood tests. So anyways I had my own tests done and reached out to another provider....worst experience ever from a hospital. All because of low vitiman d (which they didnt even test for)... I'll tell you what though...the one thing you don't want to do is miss a payment with them. Terrible experience.

Be careful get an advocate to write down words, A providence mental health doctor lorina forced me to take a medicine that caused harm, I have the evidence to prove it. making the decision to withhold helpful medication unless the patient takes a harmful one could be considered blackmail or extortion. This scenario involves using a threat (withholding necessary treatment) to coerce someone into taking a course of action (taking a harmful medication) that they would not otherwise choose, according to a federal criminal defense attorney. Elaboration: Blackmail, or extortion, is the act of using threats to gain something from someone, says a law firm specializing in federal criminal defense. Threat and Coercion: In this scenario, the threat is withholding a necessary medication, and the coercion is forcing the patient to take a medication that could be harmful. This could be considered a form of blackmail, according to a lawyer. Harmful Consequences: The patient would be at risk of not receiving the necessary medical care or taking a potentially harmful medication, which could have severe health consequences. Ethical Concerns: This is highly ethical concerns for medical professionals. They have a duty to prioritize patient well-being and provide the best possible care.

My daughter was knocked unconscious at a softball game and we had to call an ambulance. When we arrive to the ER we were treated like we made it up. She had blood on one side of her face. She didn't get any sort of imaging done...no xray (her head was flipped back and hit the ground) no mri, no CT. We were asked to clean the blood from her face. They did absolutely zero concussion exam. They actually argued that she was ever unconscious even though there was many many witnesses and a video (game changer) she hadn't even been registered when they came in with the discharge papers. The doc printed a note for her coach and the tournament director, it stated that she was seen there and could go back to the game with zero restrictions. When we got back to the field MD (parent from another team) came over to how she was doing. He did a full evaluation and she does have a concussion. Which was pretty obvious. She had since been suffering with headaches, nausea, dizziness, and memory fog. She doesn't remember what happened. I am bringing her to her actual doc to get her checked out again. This hospital is absolutely ridiculous. I will never go back.

Went into the ER to see if our child had broken his arm. The x-ray tec was great with the kid and seemed skilled. However they decided that MAYBE it was broken but not to splint it. We took him into Logan the following day and yes it was in fact broken and he needed a cast. So we paid to have a doctor essentially tell us nothing. I don't recommend them if you have another option.

My brother-in-law was released from St.Joseph Rehab Clinic yesterday 06/04/24. When he entered Rehab he couldn’t walk or even stand his legs were so weak. With Rehab they got him strong enough to stand and walk short distances and sent him with a walker. When he got home I saw that he still needed help to stand up, when he walked he dragged his feet and he’s unable to go up stairs or step up over the curb. I feel the Rehab failed him. I feel he should have been given the chance to become strong enough to leave the Rehab without dragging his feet to walk, that is not normal. He should have been able to step up a curb or even a few steps. This didn’t happen. I also feel he should have left Rehab with enough strength to get up from a seated position. I believe Rehab should have done a better job getting to the point where he could be more self sufficient on his return home.
