My 14 year old daughter arrived at the ER with very clear concussion symptoms, sensitivity to light and loud noises, sleepy and poor balance. She also had a swollen nose after a blow to the face during sports. The ER team gave her an X-ray to check if she had a broken nose, but NEVER followed up with the concussion symptoms. She left with a diagnosis of "contusion to the pectoral region" Um she never had anything wrong with her chest, she had a concussion! NO CT scan, no concussion protocol....what the heck kind of emergency room is this!!!
The last visit, i was admitted to the er for jaw pain and put in one of the bays. I had a heart monitor etc put on my finger (or whatever it's for)... after about 15 minutes of sitting there, I look down and notice BLOOD on the finger clip (pictures). I told the nurse and she "wheres blood?"... i said "right on there"... to which she nonchalantly replied "oh yeah there is". Like someone elses blood on medical equipment is no biggie.
The second time was when i gave birth to my daughter. I was choking on reflux while having contractions. When my husband told the nurse they never brought anything to relieve the rising of stomach acid. Along with that, they put me on a non birthing bed and forced me to switch, not the 12 hours prior while having mild contractions, but in the midst of my childs head coming out of my body. My iv came out 6 times during the birth and i was tangled in cords. The nurses felt the need to comment on my tattoos and appearance which blew my mind.
We visited our family Dr. the next day and he clearly said she had a serious concussion and needed to miss school for a few days to rest her brain. If we followed the hospital diagnosis she would have been back playing soccer the next day with her "contusion!" Come on Lock Haven you must do better than this!
This hospital is unprofessional and very poor standard of care. I wouldn't even go there for a Band-aid, They do not know what the are doing at all!! Stay away from this place!!!!!
I've family and myself have used this hospital 3 times. Every visit was very ... uncomfortable to say the least. The first time I went was to visit my father who was admitted for a heart attack. I went in about lunch time, they didn't bring him something to eat until around 2pm. He was hungry. When they finally brought him ( a diabetic) food, it was a diabetic meal loaded with all the things a diabetic shouldn't eat (bread, sugar etc).
Had a really bad toothache. Went into the e.r to get something to hold me off till the dentist opened. They gave me a prescription for pain meds. That's it. They charged me $300 dollars. What a rip off. The wait time is insane also. Don't 60% chance you'll be waiting an hour or much longer. On top of that. When I had a broken arm they wrapped my arm up really tight, sent me home with no medication and said they'd have to do surgery the next day. Need less to say, I sat at home in excruciating pain for 16 hours! Do yourself a favor and drive up the road to jersey shore if need be.
This hospital is very unprofessional. I took my girlfriend in for kidney pains because she has a history of kidney stones and is unable to pass them on her own and she couldnt sleep due to the pain. We had another hospital a few months before that told us she had them but we're too small to cause any issue at the moment. Lock haven hospital did "tests" on her and told her she didn't have any kidney stones and then said they would proscribed her with a medication to help with the pain. When we went to get her prescription it was an antibiotic for a UTI. And when the pharmacy called the hospital the doctor told them that he had no idea why we would think that he would give her pain medication. This hospital is one of the worst we have been to. DON'T GO THERE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING
This hospital needs to be shut down.
