Big Horn Hospital — Local services in Hardin

When you or a family member is having a true emergency (presenting as a heart attack, sharp pain in chest, middle back, heavy chest, nausea and vomiting) and you have to wait and buzz the door to be let into the building 10 plus times that is ridiculous. Then the person at the desk takes their sweet time getting us checked in and says, Go have a seat in the waiting area they will be out to get you when they can. At 10 min. I went and asked him what was going on and why no one had come to at least check vitals? He didn't know, maybe they're getting her a room. At 20 min. and still nothing, I push my mom in the wheele chair back out to my car and drove to Billings St. V's ER. Within 1 min. of entering the doors she was taken back to have an EKG and blood drawn for enzyme check... In these types of TRUE Emergencies TIME is of the essence! Obviously Bighorn County Hospital doesn't recognize this fact!!! If I could rate this establishment in the negative I would have. As a Community we need to hold this establishment to a MUCH higher standard of care than we get now! The lives of our loved ones...

I told him I wanted to scheduled an appointment if they had one there, he said he would transfer me to a Nurse. I guess I was transferred to an ER Nurse who I had asked the same questions. I told her my son's toe has a bad ingrown and can barely walk. Her reply was "we don't do that here". So, my question is, what do they do there? I told her thanks anyway and hung up. If the person answering the calls doesn't know the difference between a Podiatrist and a Dietician then it's concerning. I'll go to the IHS and spend my money there even though this Hospital was 1...

This hospital and some of Doctors their are very negligent! I went in for a foot injury and they sent me home diagnosing me with a sprang. I knew it was more serious than tha lot of pain and a lot of swelling. They took x-rays. So when they said it was just a Spring. I went to a spetourist at my Doctor's office and he said it s fractured. The hospital set me home without any support.So i've had to walk on it for quite a while . I knew there was something more serious about my foot.So I went to a Doctor at my doctor's office and he said it was fractured.This is not the only time they were negligent to me and...
