Gibson Area Hospital — Local services in Gibson City

If I could give it a negative 10 I would. Completely incompetent nurses and staff, I went in for a Covid testing and was told to go to the emergency hall. I was told to wait there and they specific said that this will not be treated as an emergency room situation just. I wait for 30 minutes finally a nurse arrives and does the testing. She asked me if I had any questions about anything and I start by asking her about what are the most likely symptoms of Covid that can cause me serious health problems. She than tells me that she's not a registered nurse just a volunteer to help out in the shortages of nurses. I than asked her was the nurse that I talked to also a volunteer and she said most likely yes, most of the nurses have are either on break or left. I was just baffled by how unprofessional this Hospital is. Flash forward a few months later and am getting a bill from they with an absurd fee and the main reason was because they took me through the emergency room the fee being almost $1800, which I will not pay as I was not informed of the situation that was happening and more or less blindly lead into this predicament. This is not even the best part about this whole story after the testing I was told that I would get the results within 3-5 days, almost a week and a half later I was forced to call them as they failed to contact me back about the results. They said it came out Negative, I said great nothing to worry about than. LITERALLY!!! The next day first thing in the morning I noticed that I lost my sense of taste, I was furious I was just told that I was negative and the symptoms normally appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. so I basically got it the same week I went to that Hospital and was told that I was alright by their results in the test lab. I am never going back to that hospital again and hope that if any else is reading this stay away from there it is the most incompetent Hospital I have ever been in, I've seen Vets be far more competent than that Hospital, a VET that should just go to show you how bad this...

Always, without a doubt, the worst experience to go to GAH. If it wasn't the nearest hospital and group of clinics to us, my family and I would never go back. We've received bills up to 2 years after a procedure or visit. We've received bills for visits we have already paid for. GAH and their affiliate clinics are more than happy to take your money and even double bill you for things but take weeks and even months to pay you back when they've overcharged you. This has not been a one time thing either, this happens every time we need to go there. Not only is their billing department a horrible waste of time and resources, their doctors, techs, and receptionists fail regularly. We've chased our tails with them about lab results and whether or not they are ready. We've constantly been hassled about procedures or treatments that we've explicitly said we don't want. When delivering our child my wife was given Pitocin through IV to induce labor without her permission when she had specifically asked not to be given any. I received an EKG for less than a minute when I thought I had a heart issue, but to pass the physical for my job I had an EKG for 5 minutes. They fail time and time again. This may be my opinion, but I have yet to meet a person that is ever happy with their services. This place is a money hungry joke. I'd rather blood-let with leeches and eat grass as a remedy for cancer than deal with these failures for a simple common...

Many are confidential reasons I will not publicly share, but abuse of Pretend authority and making legal threats when no laws or policies had been violated by the patient. Just severe severe pain and questioning why it took an Hour to get a shot that had been ordered an Hour before TO HAVE NURSE LOSE HER PATIENCE AND SAY SAY THERE ARE LAWS NOW. Ok, HAS nothing to do why I'm asking why it took an Hour to get a shot with no malice, anger or vulnerable language and the nurse gets to loose here patience because I'm suffering. I have been a victim of malpractice before and when there are practically no patience in the ER but 6 staff members are jaw jacking around the desk nurses too and can't get you ordered medication faster than an HOUR then loose your patience with me when I question the reason and logic with 0 emotion. It's unacceptable to make legal threats toward me with LAWS that work against me.??? Her words. So you abuse and manipulate law and policy to shut me up for asking for accountability that is my right to request as a patient? I'm not rude nor was I but the response was uncalled for and not the first case at this hospital in 2 years. My wife quit working there due a lot of terrible cases of lack of care to patients and a terrible chain of command and mistreatment of patience. GCHospital needs serious reform...
