Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ. I got T-boned in a car accident today and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. This hospital have no sympathy for what I was going through! No smiles, no happiness or support like doctors and nurses should have. I understand they're under a lot of stress and pressure but if you make that a career you need to understand that that's the work environment you're going to be in! I have a diagnosis of severe chronic back pain and when I got in the car accident I had smashed my head against my window and my whole left side of my car was totaled. I had a neck brace on and was suffering from pain in my head, my neck, my arm was numb and was seeing stars. I was in so much pain so they ended up giving me pain medication and a cat scan but the nurse was very rude, disrespectful and wasn't telling me the medication she was given to me before injecting them into my IV and also didn't tell me about side effects of certain medications while she was inserting them into my IV, I was receiving severe PAINFUL side effects for a short amount of time that were very uncomfortable without her telling me to the point where I was screaming " ow ow ow!!!" Then when getting sent home my doctor refused to prescribe me any pain medicine when I just got in a severe car accident? He was yelling at me in the hallway the whole time while I was yelling at him back about how he didn't want to prescribe me anything...all he did was give me a steroid and a strong ibuprofen when my pain levels were so severe. I could go on and on but the patient service and the staff there are absolutely terrible!!!!! The doctor was telling me "I was going to get addicted to pain medicine if I were to get prescribed so he refused to give them to me" then I stated " do I have to have my neck cut off to get them?" and he said " yeah or a fracture "... sarcasm is very unprofessional as a doctor... and this is AFTER I requested just an amount of only 5-10. I live a sober life style and I did not want a lot but my pain was so high! Finally he got very upset and prescribed them to me then refused to see me after. Sorry that I have severe chronic back pain now neck pain, head pain and got T-bones on my direct drivers side going 45 and totaled driver side of my car.....even if they did give me pain medicine with no problem, that place is still horrible and I would of done the same review... I do not recommend and please don't ever go there! This review is not about pain medicine but about doctors and staff treating people horribly and having no sympathy for their patients... I just got home and cried that I had to go through such a horrible experience at a place when I was physically, mentally and emotionally already going through a horrible experience in general and for that place to make it WORSE?!?, was completely unacceptable and very unprofessional. Trust me and DO NOT go here. EVER!

Have stayed twice and experience was as good as it gets Facilities and staff are great Rooms are all upgraded and your treated like your at home Meals are very good and service is exceptional
