On August 6th I woke up with excruciating pain in my abdomen and asked my wife to take me to your emergency room. Your ER physician asked my wife and I all the pertinent questions about the cause of my accident and subsequent treatment by the Indiana State Policeman, Angola EMS, both no doubt saved my life and Parkview. All we had was my discharge papers from Parkview. Your ER physician and staff made all the important telephone calls within a very short period after my admittance and learned that no one had apparently performed a drug screen and that the TYLENOL in NORCO prescribed by my pain management physician had damaged my liver almost beyond repair. He said that if I had waited another day before coming to the ER I would have died from liver failure. He made no promises but said that if I lived for 24 hours there was a good possibility that my liver could be cleansed. My liver was cleansed, and I responded well to breathing issues caused by respiratory arrest and partial collapse of my lung.
On or about August 22, 2017, (almost one year to the day when I was discharged from CBM), I was readmitted to your hospital day surgery and one of my neurosurgeons, Joseph Schnittker, M.D., North Central Neurosurgery, moved my spinal stimulator battery from my lower back to my abdomen and implanted a Medtronic morphine pain pump in my right hip. My pain management physician and I are making progress getting my brain to accept morphine from my Medtronic morphine pump instead of oral morphine tablets that had been prescribed for me by my internist and PMP's after I was diagnosed with DDD and my 1st herniated disc the week of 02/15/2002.
prescribed Lexapro which has helped me over the past year address my disorder, agreed that I should read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl, that I remembered reading 38 years ago, recommended adding "Semrad: The Heart of a Therapist", edited by Susan Ratko, M.D. and Harvey Mazer, M.D. He spent the necessary time with me for 14 straight days, followed up with me in a timely manner about any issue pending, communicated effectively with my social workers and therapists as well as hospitalist, and pain management physician, embodied every quality of best practice that I expected and much more, was courteous to me, my wife and my adult son, and "placed my feet on solid ground" by the time I was discharged. I suffer from ankylosing spondylitis secondary to uveitis, an invisible autoimmune disorder, excruciating chronic pain, and many other diagnoses for 15 years. I have had 11 back surgeries since 2002, 5 since 2009.
My mom is in her 70's and has a number of serious health issues. We were taking her to a different hospital for care, and not getting good results. After she had a series of heart attack like episodes we took her to Elkhart General. Since then, she is getting real care, and her doctors don't sugar coat the matters. The work with her and us to ensure she gets the proper treatments, and she is happy with her doctors. We would not consider anywhere else for her care, even though we now live further away. Making the 40 min trip is worth keeping her in good health, and in the care of great doctors.
i went today because i’ve gad severe stomach pain near my appendix for almost a month. i went in and they said that there was no blockage and i was fine. they gave me pain meds which relieved the pain but then i just got sent home i’m more pain.
The nurses in Critical Care I spoke with during my sons heroin overdose stay were top notch. I live in Florida and they informed me and spoke kindly during every call. Thank you all for the care and comfort you provided my son and his family.
After being flown to Parkview Memorial Hospital on August 1, 2016, from the scene of my automobile accident, 4 miles west of Angola, IN and treated for respiratory arrest and other issues I was discharged on August 3rd.
This has to be the worst hospital I’ve ever been to, very incompetent. Just got back from a seminar that didn’t happen no one had any knowledge of it. No posting board no directions on how to get around. Terrible!! I have had the mispleasure of having to there a couple of times same bad results. Hope I never need to go there again.
I was born at Elkhart General Hospital on March 26, 1940 prematurely and weighing 4 lbs. Your hospital staff and my mother’s physician gave me new life after it was questionable that I would survive. Almost 78 years later you and your doctors have once again saved my life and given me a purpose tat's greater than my suffering enabling me to move forward. On this Christmas eve I wanted to thank you, your doctors and your staff for LIFE. Merry Christmas!
On or about August 13 I was transferred to CBM on your second floor. Dr. Anthony Siegel, accurately diagnosed my opioid-induced mood disorder,
