Walked in for lab and X-ray- very little wait time. Mona in X-ray is always excellent! Christy in lab - excellent efficient care. So glad we have this hospital in our community.

We had a nightmare happen to us last night at this hospital.... My husband is a disabled veteran and was having a bad issue with one of his toes.... He has many illnesses that cause him serious pain everyday..... So his toe nail and fell off and was growing back and something got in his toe causing it to swell and becoming infected with yellow discharge and it was painful. He is prediabetic and we was worried about us doing care at home and he really needed antibiotics.....anyhow Vipul Kella was the attending physician and from the moment he came into my husband's room something was wayyyy off. He was being extremely cold to my husband and seemed irritated that he had to tend to my husband. After we told him exactly why he came to the ER he asked why did we wait until that time of night to be seen.... The reason was because it was later in the evening when it started giving him issues..... And it not only had discharge but a black area under the toenail. My husband sensing Kella had a problem with him offered to put his shoe and sock on and leave.... After I informed them of my husband's meds list etc I went out to our van with our dog... A bit later my husband waved me inside to help put his shoes and socks back on(it's very hard for him to do this himself due to pain and not having feeling in his fingers to tie his shoes)..... Also we didn't come in search of pain meds etc bc my husband already has these types of meds.... Anyhow we left and went home. We get into our small town and notice TWO police cars are following us all the way home!!!!!!! Apparently the hospital staff(Dr.Kella) had called that towns police and they contacted our police and told them we was fighting and made it sound like my husband is a wife beater!!!! I first assumed the doctor had complained bc he offered to just put his shoes back on and leave,NOPE they was saying he was abusing me!!!! We never even raised our voices bc we get along so well that we might have 2 arguments a year if that. The police also must've been told my husband was on something or drinking bc they asked..... We don't drink and he only takes his meds as prescribed!!!! It was so embarrassing bc it was late and we had two cop cars outside our home and questioning us separately..... And living in a small town our neighbors could be thinking we're not good people!!!!! They had us out there for at least 30 minutes...... They then realized that's not what's happened and left. The bad news? We're still gonna have to speak to Garnett PD at some point!!!!!! For nothing bc nothing ever happened!!!!! At no time did hospital staff pull me aside while he was getting X-rays etc to inquire about anything!!!! No, the opt to embarrass the shit outta us!!!!! And my husband got substandard care and was treated badly by the doctor!!!!! Shame on them!!!! I honestly feel like contacting a lawyer over this!!!!!!

Greetings everyone, I'm the Veteran that was mentioned in the previous review. I have palendromic rhumatism and scoliosis that confines me to a wheelchair half the time, also i have severe rhumatoid and Osteo- Arthritis especially in my hands im getting ready to have my knuckels replaced with metal ones and carpel tunnel surgury because i cant feel the fingers im my right hand. My right hand can barely be used but its my good hand because my left arm was blown off and reattached. Mainly for show because it cant be used at all. Thats why i asked my wife to help me with my shoes like she always does and that turns out to be reason enough for me to get the police called on me. At first i tried to tell my wife not to be so upset, that they were trying to make sure she was okay and stuff. But like she said i was laying in a private room with my pants down getting x-rays for however long, if they were worried about her they couldve asked her aside and asked if she was okay and look at her arms and head and wherever to see if she is hurt or bruised or whatever but instead they prefer to call they police on me. I asked the police to view the survelance video before the hospital deletes it i really hope they are able too. And lastly, we have been together over 18 years and this is the first time the police have ever been called on either of us. Thanks for your time.

Very disappointed and disrespected by most of the ER staff that was working Thursday morning, Sept 5th. There was one nurse, and I’m so sorry I did not get her name, that actually treated me like a human being and gave me sincere words and guidance. The rest talked to me like I was dumb and treated me even worse. I was in the ER twice that day crying literally bawling in pain and agony and no one even sent a caring look or tender gesture. They told me it was a viral cold and there was not much they could do for me. Gave me a shot for the pain that last two hours and an inhaler, when I told them I could not breath, I had chest pain and whole body pain, & it had been going on for four days!! I am a regularly healthy person that is on their feet more than 16 hours per day and I knew this was not just a viral cold and I told them that as well! Less than 24 hrs later went to another emergency room finally got all the right X-rays and tests that were needed to be done and told I have PNEUMONIA! Not a viral cold that will fix itself over time!! Your emergency dept should be ashamed with how little they care for their patients in honest pain and discomfort. Never will return here. That one nurse, you know who you are, you deserve to work somewhere much better!!! Thank you!

The staff in the ER has been amazing with us every time we have gone. They are fantastic working with my toddler and are very patient and thorough. I grew up always going to Ransom Memorial/Advent Health but after going to Anderson County Hospital, I will never go back to RMH/AH.
