    Suggest prospective patents beware. Here are just 3 examples why…read more 1. Earlier this year I had a chest X-ray there regarding a before indicated infection in the lungs. The image was taken on a Monday. I then asked when the results would be issued. The answer: either later that day or certainly by the next day. Whereas, the hospital did NOT notify my M.D until the following Monday. And the essential 'rub'? Already by the time of the X-Ray I had developed multi-focal pneumonia, hence an indefensible delay is being put on a correct anti-bacterial regimen! 2. It's known that OHSU hospital is a teaching institution. Meaning, patients are fully aware beforehand that may well be seen both by a M.D. resident in training, as well as her or his supervising M.D. No such circumstance pertains to this Silverton, Oregon hospital. 3. Now to the issues at hand. Last year I had two differently spaced ultrasounds to monitor a kidney stone. The first time the procedure was accomplished by a fully certified technician. The time to complete the scan was less than 20 minutes. Whereas, for the second one, it was only after about 20 minutes into the procedure that I learned the person doing the scan was a student in training. Too, that procedure took far longer than the prior one. Then, that individual stated that the "supervisor" needed to come in and check on the previous work done. The supervisor than had to 'redo' most of the prior work by the student. 4. Very recently I had occasion to schedule a different kind of ultrasound procedure. At least that time the person identified as a student at some such technical school and also asked it it'd be OK if that person performed the procedure. Very reluctantly I agreed, although briefly I referenced the prior student done--or at least attempted- ultrasound fiasco. Next, after this procedure again was taking an inordinate amount of time, I inquired how much longer to finish. The answer from the student? Only about 50% of the task was completed. At that point, I expressed dismay. Immediately thereafter, an on staff hospital technician took over. He then in comparatively short order then completed the scan.

    I have dealt exclusively with the ER. HR professionals in Salem have told me that when the Salem…read moreER is slammed, it pays to go to the ERs in Silverton or Dallas. And I have been told that if I get a systolic BP over 200, to seek medical care. My first two visits, especially when I had hives from latex allergy, I could not have asked for faster or more civil and competent care. My last visit, when I measured systolic at 201 and felt as though I were dying, Dr. Houston burst into my examination room shouting that unless I had stroke or cardiac symptoms, I was to be denied treatment. I know that small-town hospitals are stressed because of recent legislation, and if he had only been civil, I would have understood, but as it was I left in a fury. I was given a code to register with their online chart system, but was denied entry because (I think) they have my telephone number wrong. I tried through their phone system to reach someone in records, but was balked at every turn. I'd have to. go in person to correct my records. Don't get me wrong, most of the staff are entirely satisfactory, but they have individuals that need a talking to, and their phone system should be made more transparent. And I'm only talking about the ER.
