I normally have the best things to say about Aspirus. Today I was not impressed. I purposely didn’t go to marshfield clinic which is closest to my house. I did get in fairly quickly. I was told to give a urine sample. I barely had my pants up and a gentlemen opened the door while knocking to get my urine. That was very unprofessional. Glad I was dressed. I got to my room and said something and my nurse or whoever he was said “oh so and so does his own thing” ????. The nurse that came to take my blood dug around for about 5 minutes while I’m crying and was unsuccessful. I have great veins! The other original nurse tried my other arm and had no issue. But then he put the blood pressure cup on so tight I got bruised from it. I took it off and the monitor beeped for about a half hour before anyone came in. Then they did a bunch of tests all to find nothing and just sent me home with pain meds. The doctor seemed like she didn’t have a clue about anything. All of them were I would say under 35. It felt like they had no proper training. Usually this place is 5 stars. Maybe it was a bad day, idk but it was not a good experience as I sit here all black and blue.
If I had the choice I would give it a 0 star. I took my Mother in there for a severe infection in her forehead, eyes swollen shut, chest pain n hard to breath due to the severity of the infection, after 2hours they still did not do anything yet kept taking ppl with a COLD back. Absolutely not acceptable for an ER!!!
Everyone I encountered in regards to staff were kind and compassionate. I arrived and was called back within 5 minutes of completing the check in. The MD really went out on a limb for me to make my care easier. To sum it up, this is probably the best ER experience I've had.
I was here for 5 or 6 hours Thursday, 5-30-24 & never go back!
Chronic abdominal pains since early 2018!
Severe pain & staff couldn't care less!
No one even asked me for pain meds once!
Diverticulitis 2 or 3 times in 10 years!
And they discharged me with nothing!
Cut your finger off, guys, pull out your Fishermans First Aid Kit, fish line, sewing needles, Spiderwire, Bourbon, Schnapps, Vodka or whatever & fix it yourself!
At least your finger will will be right side up!
11-24-24 update:
6 months later, still same severe abdominal pain!
They must have called the tomah VA & told to do nothing!
Go to the ER 3-5 times a year with same problem & they ask why you keep coming back & what you want from them!
A psychiatric examination because they aren't doing their jobs & screwing people around!
Dah!
Incompetent facility!
I was given medical advice by a nurse, Accused of med seeking by a nurse and kicked back to the waiting room after already waiting 5 hrs in excruciating pain. I just had my gull bladder removed with a stone that was bigger than my bladder so much so it folded over itself. The surgeon canceled his lunch break to perform surgery immediately because it was so big he fears an extra 3 hrs would have lodged itself in a duct. OSF in Michigan saw me, in 1 hour and knew something was wrong. Did a ct scan and an ultrasound. Immediately shipped me for surgery for the biggest stone they have ever seen. Not to mention 2 small ones. They are horrid at their jobs and don't care about the public at aspirus hospital in wausau. This does not go for the weston clinic who have a wonderful team.
I love Aspirus and trust them with my life and my loved ones lives but the ER department is a mess , the walk in is sending people ( unnecessary people ) over hours before they close at 7 , I have to do my rabies series through here whichby the end of this will have cost me over 16 hours for each wait time has been about three hours plus the visit , and now I need a Drs note changed just the date to return for i work third shift and everyone knows third shift is a day ahead date wise , yet was completely not heard lastnight when I told them .. I have been here three hours now waiting for a simple date change .
I don't need to be here , nor do alot of others. It is an emergency dept not a Drs office ..i feel bad for the department . Someone farts too loud they come here seeking relief .
Maybe put up an estimated wait time , it will have people think twice about if they can wait to see their Dr or not .There is construction going on limiting rooms ECT as well and the walk in dumping people here when they are open til 7, I've talked to people coming from there late afternoon .
Maybe additional ER rooms?the area is growing and growing and growing.
But three hours plus so far for a date change on a Dr excuse when I'm sick from these rabies shots and want to be in bed sucks ..
A girl is here with a blood clot in her lung and ready to leave ...
My wife is in alot of pain. We were here on Tuesday and they wouldn't give her any pain meds, only muscle relaxers. No help from those. We went to the walk in in Antigo on Wednesday and that dr. Said the pain meds are no better then over the counter pain meds. We are back on Thursday at wausau emergency room and have been waiting for 2.5 hrs. To get in to see someone. My wife is crying because she is in so much pain. Other people who have come in after us have been seen. WHAT THE HELL.
If I wanted to spend 5 hours sitting in pain I would have stayed home and been more comfortable. Looking at all the money spent on waiting room it could have been put to better use on service. I watched people walk out and go to another hospital because they had been waiting so long. Not good.
