My Son was Taken into Saint Clare with a head wound. My son is a tough kid and was not crying at all when he was brought in there. Against my better judgment I allowed my wife to take him there. The doctor that was on call they’re convinced my wife to put staples in my child’s head versus sutures because according to her at Saint Clare they don’t do sutures in a child’s head because of the hair. Anyone that knows anything about Staples they have a high rate of infection more then sutures do and the pain is a tremendous amount more than sutures. My son was only given a topical numbing agent That barely numed his wound. As they took a staple gun and Stapled my six-year-olds Head as he screamed because the pain this was so intense for him he almost passed out from pain in the car on the way home. As healthcare providers they should know how to treat children and how to treat adults there should be a line that is drawn between the two and I don’t think they can see the line between the two at This Hospital. I called to complain and was hung up on as well as passed around on the phone to speak to several different people untill I was finally told that someone will have to call me back the gal I spoke to I told her I didn’t want to speak to anyone that evening that was on the floor At that moment I wanted to call back in the morning and that I told them you can bet that I will be calling the girls reply was sarcastically I hope you do and she hung up on me and all I heard was a dial tone now I Was not belligerent with her I never called anyone out of their name and I treat everyone with respect other than maybe getting a little short with someone I never was disrespectful spa was not belligerent with her I’ve never called anyone out of their name and I treat everyone with respect but if this is how they treat a parent that is concerned about their child and the care that was given to him or her, I think there needs to be some training. I will be following up with a call to the hospital administrator in the morning however I am doubting very much that I’m going to get anywhere with this I guess I’m writing this to let anybody else know not to take your child to St. Clair if at all possible. This is a tourism community and alot of traffic especially in the summer they get from tourists please if you read this take your child to Portage Divine Savior or take your child to Reidsburg but please don’t put them through what mine went through at Saint Clare Hospital. Hospitails like this they call a broken bone and cut Hospitail but I don’t even know if you could take anyone there for cuts...

I’m a 15yr old girl who was a patient at this dreadful hospital for OD on Benadryl (worst mistake). I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. I lost my father at age 11, witnessed abuse, had a manipulative family, and coped with heartbreak so I tried my hardest for the longest time to keep all the anger inside without putting it on anybody. When I OD I blackout once I got to the hospital. I hallucinated so bad they put me in the ER, I had no idea where I was, who the people were, and what I was doing there. I have blur memory as well of being in there. While I was hallucinating all the anger I have held in for years poured out of me and I had no control of keeping it in. A nurse who worked there after telling my mother to go home got in my face and told me to “drop my act.” Only thing I remember was being sat on and told they weren’t gonna get off me till I stopped freaking out, but being a 90 pound-year-old girl who is suffocating I could not stop freaking out. Not only that but I was also not in the right mindset from the drugs that I took before. I hallucinated for about 24 hours. I was told I got sat on to be strained by the nurse who got in my face for attacking her which I have no memory of. I had bruises up my spine and ribs for weeks from the nurses actions. I may have made some poor decisions in the hospital from the drugs but I had no control of myself or what was going on around me. After being sober I have read a victim statement from that nurse that was just horrid, Not just offending me but probably other people as well where she stated “I should probably just let people die but I’m not like that.” A nurse should not be working in the ER if she/he cannot handle ppl who are not stabled enough to control themselves. I hope this does not happen to you or your children in any circumstances. After that terrible service I will no longer proceed to go there and I am very disappointed of how I treated and...

Worst experience I've had in healthcare!!,went to Occupational Health for a job and the doctor ( Dr. Blagogee) was beyond rude because I wouldn't just take his word and fill in portions of the paperwork given to me in regards to how often I would be wearing a mask while working and what type of mask ,I was not informed of these and was just asked to go to the appt, he also had a very thick accent and i was having a hard time understanding him when I tried to explain this to him and asked him to speak slower and not yell at me for not understanding him he became very aggressive and angry with me and began screaming at me I'm speaking English aren't I as well as I've been doing this for 40 years you will not tell me how to do my job and stormed out and refused to see me so now I have to take time out of my schedule and come back to do this all over not to mention I live 45 min away so not only did I waste time I wasted gas money as well!!! and its delaying my start date for work all because he had an attitude the second he walked in the room and because I had the audacity to question him and the paperwork I was filling out Dr. Blagogee definitely hates his job not a compassionate bone in that man, people like him should not be in healthcare and are the reasons Healthcare get such a bad name because of people like him I'd be embarrassed to have him be part of my staff and by...
