    Came to the emergency room at 11:am with chest pain. I was seen immediately and put in a room. They threw blood, did an ekg and a doctor came in to say they were waiting on results. I was no longer experiencing pain. They also got a chest X-ray and a chest ct. they took me back to my room, then 20 minutes later I was put in a busy hallway. Just me and a elderly black lady. At 7:48 pm I’m still in the hallway. It’s not the nurses fault. It’s the doctors and hospital administrators who ration out care. The doctors are too busy for their own good let alone the patients. I tried to avoid the ER but was told to go there by my primary care triage nurse. I would avoid using this outdated facility if possible.

    Filing nails Talking Lobby full of patients Sat here and sitting here for almost 180 minutes No urine cup has been offered Blood yes, had to explain breathing in a bag is a coping mechanism But they call themselves a ER? A Hospital UNMC HAS BECOME A JOKE! Oh don't forget what I've watched the nurse and medical staff do, then the judgements they do among the patients

    brought my boyfriend in with blood poisoning and he wasn't seen by anyone for over 4 hours! you'd think the nurses or doctors would take something so life threatening seriously, but sadly they didn't. after letting the fast moving infection progress for over 4 hours, the doctors are now concerned he could face life-long complications. we will never support unmc again. shame on this facility. if you have a life threatening emergency let me suggest any other emergency room in the omaha area.

    I checked in for a severe nosebleed on Saturday. I waited for 5 hrs with a clamp on my nose. They literally did nothing to help stop it. It clotted and stopped on its own. The next day my nose started severely bleeding again, so I checked in, waited for 2 hrs with a clamp on my nose, they gave me nose spray and sent me home, 2 hrs later it started bleeding severely again so I went in. I waited for 4 hrs with a clamp on my nose and I was sent to a room where I waited for about 2 more hrs before someone saw me. They said they would pack my nose with gause but they never came back. I even begged them to carterize it but they made excuses not to. Don't everpxx.msdsssdd.xbefore someone came to 🙈

    Currently awaiting to see a doctor after two hours of trying to remain calm as my fiancé is crying in pain due to an unknown cause in her neck. The people at the desk can’t give me a time frame as it is in their words illegal to do so. I’m sure it’s against hospital protocol to do so, but not illegal. And I understand that a n exact time line can’t be given. But if I ask if it will be more of less than a few hours they can’t even be bothered to look up at me. Here I am begging for care from a sick and scared loved one and meeting my eyes is not within their humanity.

    I had a pleasant experience at the ER, room E10. I was experiencing chest discomfort and decided to seek help and despite everything checking out ok, I was told to follow up within 3 days. The doctors, nurses and staff were very kind and my stay there was roughly 3 hours. Thank you all.

    took my mother here for sever back pain and she was seeing two doctors in the ER that same night but had to keep explaining two both doctors the same thing! We got discharged and no pain meds or anything anyways we looked for help else where and sadly a tumor was found in her Spine. Doctors aren’t doctors anymore.

    I called to ask about combining a couple meds together for any bad reactions and the person was rude, and hung up on me. I just didn’t want to kill myself so I was trying to be responsible and that’s what I get. Sorry no pharmacies open.

    They kicked me out after spending as much of my insurance's money they could without finding the root cause of the issue. All they could do was prove they didn't know what was wrong. After my unhelpful visit, UNMC had me spending three grand (after insurance) over a 8 month period on tests when all I had was indigestion. It was cleared up with a five dollar (after insurance) prescription. I will never use an UNMC service again.

    Came in after being told by my ob i needed to go to the ER for suspected ectopic or miscarriage and only waited 2 hours which wasn’t horrible, but my bp in triage was 165/100. I told her mine is normally low, with my systolic typically in the 90s or right at 100. She wasn’t concerned. This is a critical bp that I have had in the past after having my son and was put on a 24hr magnesium drip for. Something should’ve been done. Got my blood drawn while i waited and it seemed so unsanitary, he was putting needles and other supplies on a couch just open and then wiping supplies and my arm down with a wipe that had been sitting on that couch open since before i walked in. Didnt change his gloves either between me and the next person who was already waiting next to me. Once taken back, nothing happened for 2 1/2 hours. Literally nothing. Asked my nurse for a blanket since one of my main symptoms was horrible chills, never got it and didn’t see her for the whole 2 1/2 hours after that. Then someone came in to scan my bladder and said it was too empty for ultrasound, but i told them i was told by my nurse i wasn’t allowed to drink any water. He told me i needed to start drinking water, so i called and asked for some and waited a half hour for one small cup filled half way. My nurse came and told me i needed to change into a gown, but wouldn’t leave the room so i could change. She just stood there watching while I got completely undressed and put the gown on. When i got back to ultrasound after 3 hours around 1am, she said i must have been really dehydrated since it took so long. I told her i wasn’t allowed to drink water until 12:30(am) to which she sighed and said she told my nurse to have me start drinking water at 10PM. My nurse had told me we were the ones waiting on ultrasound, nope. Super frustrating. At 2am a doctor came in and said I “probably” (yes he said probably, not that i did or didn’t) had a uti and that was causing my pains, not a miscarriage or ectopic. But i looked at my patient portal and all results were negative or in range for my urine test, so this was just a blatant lie. He discharged me with a prescription I’m allergic to. If you aren’t a trauma, you’re boring to them, and they don’t want to give you good care. Complete waste of 7 hours of my life. Got home around 3am, had to wake up at 5am to care for my disabled son, definitely would’ve gone somewhere else had i known I’d be wasting so much time and getting zero answers.

    If you are hurt bad, do not go to Nebraska Med. ER!!! Seriously you are waiting hours in the ER waiting room and not even One person can go in with you, even though they can go in the room once you get one. Then once you’ve sat for about 5 hours I’m the waiting room, they finally call you back, just to sit for another 5 hours. So if you can avoid this place, avoid it. Not worth your time.

    I want to preface this with most of the staff I encountered were pretty nice, and I can understand why they made the call they did. However, I believe that some of the researchers and medical staff at UNMC, Lasting Hope Recovery Center, and Fremont Mental Health are up to no good. I wouldn't leave this girl alone that I liked, which intern instigated a lot of the things to follow. I had my water contaminated at work and other locations, which I think might have been from their old toxicology director, Alan Kolok, who was obsessed with water quality and poison. Also, he taught at UNO, which is where the connection to him and the girl I wouldn't leave alone is. I don't really know who was doing this, but I don't believe this was from environmental causes, considering it occurred at work twice, in psychiatric hospitals, and in a coffee shop I went to. These toxins that I was exposed to were horrible. I contacted that girl that I should've left alone to help me get some things at Walmart, and all of a sudden there was some checker with blue gloves on. Following this, I had abdominal pain and GI issues. These are common symptoms of poisoning. I didn't trust the people in the ER trying to help me, which the guy could've poisoned the IV; I don't really know. But considering I just got out of Lasting Hope where there were doser injectors messing with me, it's not really a surprise that I didn't trust the medical staff. They decided that I needed to go to Fremont Medical Center. At Fremont Medical Center, since I was still struggling with GI issues from what I believe was poisoning, it was pretty scary. The scariest part of the whole thing was at Fremont Medical Center when staff turned a valve by my shower, and I was scared for my life. I've heard of cases where medical staff don't like certain people, and then they all of a sudden get Parkinson's disease or cancer. My uncle had the same symptoms of poisoning I had, and medical staff claimed it was all from smoking, which they also did with me. Following this at his obituary, they had pictures that made him look bad. I believe there was foul play involved. I feel that medical staff that wish harm on patients are rarely held accountable for their actions because no one can prove it. I tried to contact the toxicology director, and he left the state after 20 years of service. I contacted the police department, and the sheriff just died mysteriously the next day. Yes, I should've left that girl alone when she asked, but I don't think people at medical facilities should be torturing and killing patients without being accountable. Honestly, who are people going to believe, medical staff or someone with no medical background claiming they were poisoned? The drugs I've been on for paranoid schizophrenia were awful before I went to Douglas County, and they put me back on risperidone. I don't believe I actually have paranoid schizophrenia. I think I have C-PTSD. I believe there was foul play, and no one believes me, so this is really frustrating. Now it's hard to get the psychiatric help I actually need because everyone I talk to about this assume it's all paranoid schizophrenia. This is what II tell myself to stop ruminating and angry about all of this. People are always going to kill each other. Medical people are always going to murder and not get caught. It doesn't matter what toxin they used. Proving it and holding someone accountable isn't going to change anything. I made some mistakes, and all I need to learn from it is to never do those things again. A lot of things are unjust, and I need to get over it. No one can reverse time and undo it. If I'm concerned about hospitals and corruption, I can just leave, which I already did. Most people won't believe me, and I'm probably never getting good therapy for this, but I don't need that. I don't need others to care, believe, or understand. I'm already away from people who are capable of doing said acts. I don't need to understand every detail of my trauma. I will just move on and enjoy the rest of my life.

    Probably their most hilarious case. Broke my ring finger, and it started swelling so fast I couldn't get my wedding band off. I could have lost the finger had it not been for the resourceful ER Doc. We had to improvise and diy it off! Everyone was so helpful and I only waited 20 minutes with a packed waiting room. They realized that I was an urgent case.

    Amazing staff. Really listened to me and helped me out in a crisis. Very kind and understanding. Super passionate staff. Felt heard. They treated me with the utmost professionalism. Came in with heart/chest pain. They got to me with the utmost importance.

  • 5/5 Jim H. 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously blown out of the water with how amazing the staff and doctors are here! My previous couple of primary care physicians from the past two different hospital companies I thought were pretty good, but NE Med is the single best place I've ever been to.

    Thank you emergency staff for caring and treating my sons… no matter the level of severity last year we encounter several visit from high level urgency my son being unresponsive, to a bad fall or dog bite we have always been given excellent care from cna to rn to Dr or mid level. Thank you for always providing exceptional care and for helping save my sons life and for helping many others in medical need.

    Waiting to be seen after almost 3 hours for chest pain in the Emergency Room. However after getting to my room, the doctor, nurses and techs here I. The ER have been so wonderful and amazing that I couldn't ask for better people to take care of me. It's amazing to see their care for others.

    I've had some bad ER experiences elsewhere, but this place is the best. I came in with stroke-like symptoms as a complication of COVID, and every person I interacted with treated me with kindness and professionalism. I am very grateful for the top-notch care I received.

    I've waited for 4 hours and wasn't seen. My face is literally swollen and my pain is only increasing along with the swelling. there are nurses and doctors walking around and no one seems to beable to take a few minutes to diagnos me or tell me what my options are. one female nurse told me people are usually there longer and to be patient i do remember her name and face i just don't know who to talk to about things like this. I've yet to be seen or treated.

    I am hard of hearing and I do not wear a hearing aid, so, with that being said, I came in to the ER in extreme abdominal pain. When I was taken back where you get your vitals taken, weight taken, etc.. the nurse had asked me a question. I told her I didn't hear what she said because I was hard of hearing. So instead of asking me again with a louder voice, she LITERALLY screamed the question at me. There was another person in the room ( I don't know if she was a nurse also) but after the nurse screamed the question at me, the two of them seemed to think that was funny. I was not amused. I felt very degraded. I can't believe these two individuals are allowed to take care of anyone.

    Wife went to er because her throat is swelling up. Been their 3 hours. Has not really been helped. Told she was getting a CT scan. Been over an hour. What is the point of an er if they are willing to treat people that need help right away. Always thinking every patient wants pain pills. (Total joke for a Dr to always be thinking about every patient. Now her throat is swelling shut. Still getting no help and in a er room. Can not believe this happens everything she needs help. What a joke. Got CT swollen lymphnoids. They just send her home with no kinda medication to help reduce the swelling. So what is the point of having er docs who Don't carr about patient working in an ER.

    I’ve only been to this ER twice but specifically this trip went incredibly well. They were respectful, and explained things well when caring for my child. Informative and very efficient.
