I am 76 years old and I was taken to my hospital (the closest) with pancreatitis. The GPS on my…read morephone says it is a 6 minute car ride from my apartment. They are charging $1,894 (???) for that very short ride. I was in severe abdominal pain, and the ambulance didn't have any shock absorbers. It bumped down a road (that I frequently drive) the whole way, which added to my discomfort. This outrageous bill looks like a bill for a 6 minute helicopter ride, not an ambulance! But when 911 is called, are there other options? I will do everything within my power in the future not to go by ambulance. To top it off, Providence is refusing to cover my overnight stay, and I have to fight that, too. Health care in this country has me wishing I lived somewhere where the patient truly came first - not outrageous profit.

Paramedics that are dangerously untrained. I'm about to…read moredescribe just one of the ways these "medical" professionals behaved, on what became the worst night of my life. These "paramedics" swaggered casually by me and stood in the street, without badges or identification (the one named Adam: "uhh, huh, yeah, I lost my badge"). I had just finished violently convulsing from a seizure (first time in my life). In all the involuntary movement, my shirt came down in the front and I, being in and out of consciousness, didn't realize that my breasts were fully naked and exposed. But these guys sure thought it was hilarious. In the ambulance, the paramedic chuckled, casually talking to the driver about my exposed "titties" and they bantered about how my body looked, while I lay in pain and fear on the gurney, unable to pull my shirt back on. I heard everything they said, but I appeared to be asleep. They laughed together about me and he never covered me up with anything he just let me be totally exposed and naked. He eventually leaned over me and I could smell his putrid breath, as he slowly, casually pulled my shirt sleeve back on. He said, and I will remember this verbatim until my dying day, "Come on lady, look, your tits are popping out!" He thought I couldn't hear him because my eyes were closed, I suppose. I've called the company to complain, no one answers or calls back.

I've had several bad experiences at the Providence ER. The last time was especially bad. I had…read moreaccidentally taken the wrong amount of my medication and immediately went to the ER to seek help. Instead of calling poison control, I was rushed to the ICU where nurses spent all their efforts into convincing me that I had tried to harm myself. During this, I had four seizures before they decided to call Poison control to receive treatment instructions. Four seizures could have been prevented if they had called poison control immediately. I bit my tongue several times and bled profusely. They told me that my tongue will heal quickly, and refused to also treat that wound. It has not healed in almost a month. I had to see my primary care provider elsewhere to receive help. I felt neglected, as if they didn't really care. They weren't trying to treat me, but shove me in their mental health unit, when I had not tried to hurt myself. Their judgement of my character and actions was unwarranted and their actions felt harsh and punitive in nature. Eventually they called poison control and administered medication that would have effectively prevented this whole ordeal. I will never go back. All of the other hospitals in Portland are far better options with far better care that doesn't lack compassion and judgement by a very near sighted and uncaring staff. I am trying to not take this personal, and ruminate, but it was traumatic and embarrassing, and has led me to seek help in dealing with it. Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful in making decisions on where to seek care in an emergency.

They refuse to a acknowledge my legal authority to the point of relaying medical information regarding my son to the receptionist at the swithchboard. This is an abomination, especially since they have always honored my credentials before, and complied with the HIPPA. They crossed the line. No matter how good the hospital ratings are, we shouldn't tolerate criminal behavior or disregard of patient rights. I will get justice for their ignoring HIPPA, and I'm doing this for everyone, not just myself and my Son. Beware of Providence Medical Center, Portland Oregon.

Anyone who reads medical news knows that throughout the US, we have a shortage of doctors, nurses and other care providers. Many have retired due to PTSD from the pandemic and/or burnout from trying to compensate for a frayed system.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who manages to keep this clinic up and running, providing some of the best care in the city despite enormous odds, both in personnel and finances.

The frequency with which I'm having to review hospitals is not exactly ideal, but...here we go…read moreagain. My wife had a diabetes-related incident which required two days worth of hospitalization, so we were treated to a wide variety of Legacy Emanuel's departments, from intake at the ER, to the ICU, to the pharmacy and, of course, the much-maligned, dreaded hospital food (and rightfully so)! Our experience was a mixed bag, but mostly positive overall. Intake took longer than I feel is acceptable for, you know...the EMERGENCY room, but the quality of care, right out of the gate, was top notch: competent, friendly nurses and technicians (BIG shout-out to Michael in the CVICU for being stellar!), from start to finish. Consultation with full-fledged doctors was few and far between, but maybe that will help keep the costs down when the remainder of the bill comes back from insurance. The Children's Garden is a-freakin'-dorable. The food was one of the few things that was consistent...consistently terrible. As has always been the case with diabetes-related care, the advice my wife receives seems to vary, based on the person giving it, with some providers seeming more confident, and competent, than others...which is probably why we end up in situations like this. Without going into too many details, one endocrinologist recommended using an insulin pump, the other recommended manual injections via insulin pens, and both of them offered different suggestions on the amount of insulin to administer, based on carb count. It's incredible to me that this isn't yet a settled science. Another irritating thing I encountered was the main entrance to the atrium being blocked off for construction or renovations, meaning that to pick up a prescription, we had to enter through the Randall Children's Hospital entrance, and then navigate an absurdly long series of hallways to get there...only to find that our prescription wasn't filled on time, and that we'd have to come back and do it all over again later. Ugh. In short, we've had better care (OHSU), and worse care (PeaceHealth), but Legacy Emanuel does enough things right to straddle the gap, and exist in our minds as a wholly acceptable and comprehensive health care provider, even during times of crisis (and as an important side note: the adjacent Randall Children's Hospital is a five star facility, no bones about it). Just...hurry up with the ER intake procedure, will ya?

He has also received excellent care, especially when he was diagnosed with cardiac problems and was sent to the Kaiser hospital for 10 days. He received excellent care and follow up. The best psychiatrist I ever had was Dr Rafael Gray (he's procedural now, at Clackamas) and Dr Heather Motonaga (she has been my doctor for 11-12 years!
