I had to use the ER when I got very sick from food poisoning. Everyone was so kind and caring. A gentleman greeted me at the door and seated me in a wheelchair while my husband parked the car.

Well, my mother committed suicide about a month ago after years of mental and physical abuse from my brother. I had to go to Christ to sign an involuntary admission form with his social worker. I was received a very bad attitude from several hospital staff and had homosexual slurs yelled at me while i was leaving. There is NO care in the alleged " health care " that is offered there. I would not even take my dog there to get a vaccine. AVOID THIS PET HOSPITAL LIKE THE PLAGUE !!

We took my 78 year old Mother to Christ on 6/8/10 at about 6:30 pm. She had passed out earlier in the afternoon while with friends and took a very hard fall. Upon arriving I was impressed. They took her info, her history and then took her directly into the ER sending registration to us. That's where the good impression stopped. She was held in the ER for 25 hours because they had no available beds in the department that they wanted to transfer her to. Why ANY bed wouldn't do was beyond me since she was basically neglected by the ER staff after her initial diagnosis. Twice she had disconnected lines sending the monitor beeping to high heaven and no one responded. It was only because someone came into the room for supplies that they connected her again. And at 7:45 pm I had to track down her so-called nurse to ask if they intended to feed her dinner that night. She was finally transferred to a room at 9 pm but only because she was removed from critical status and moved to the cardiac floor. Why she couldn't go there in the first place, I'll never know! Day 3 she is scheduled for tests at 9:15 am for which she must fast, no food or drink. Mind you, she is flagged as a faint/fall risk, is dehydrated and under weight and they have no IV in her. We keep asking about the tests and are given NO information. They finally come for her at 1:30 pm and tell us that the tests will take 4 hours. This means that by the time all is said and done, she will not have had food or water for nearly 22 hours. And when we point out that this is unacceptable, they get a little nasty. But my favorite part of the afternoon was when the wheelchair was brought in the and the attendant tells my Mother, who can barely move at this point, to get in the chair. So much for the bright orange band on her arm that screams FALL RISK! Turns out that they didn't even do the tests that were scheduled and she would be fasting again on day 4. Day 4 was a bit better but not by much and I won't go into detail. I will say that I was put off with her nurse who,when my Mom complained of being hungry and asked for tea & crackers, made the remark, "What, do you have a tape worm?" In the 3 1/2 days that she was at Christ she had 4 meals, 1 bath and the worse care imaginable. You should not have to be concerned when leaving someone at the hospital and that just was not the case here. Please note that the doctors were A1 and we have nothing but thanks for the care and concern that they showed for my mother & the consideration they showed our family. I would use each & every one of them as long as they reside at another hospital.

16 hours waiting in the emergency room, staff has no clue what is going on, lack of training and coordination. Doctors are rarely seen and when the come to see you they have no idea what is wrong with you, you must explain what you have just gone through and give them all you 16 hours if emergency room experience. This is a great hospital gone bad! too may emergencies for the understaffed under trained hospital. This a very bad and is getting worse. Stay away if you can!

I arrived at the hospital at aprpximately 1:15pm on August 17th, 2008. I had been in a motorcycle accident four days earlier. I was thrown from the motorcyle and had several incapacitating injuries. I had already some tylonol three medication from Dr. Dewald, a back surgeon awaiting the results from an MRI. I self medicated and stayed off my injuries as much as I could. My right knee was swollen almost three times it's normal size and could not support my weight or straighten the leg on it's own and very painful. The left knee was quite swollen, both the right and left elbow had been points of contact during the accident and were chaffed and swollen, my right rib cage hurt and made it difficult for me to laugh, cough. And my left big toe and knuckle were swollen and very sore. Even as bad as I hurt with the medication I had, lying in bed was a better option to me than going into a hospital emergency room. So on august 17th, at about 1:15 pm I went to the emergency room at Oak Lawn hospital. My complaints were the same just less severe, although the right knee was still twice the size of normal and my ribs really hurt. I explained my symptoms and what had happened to me to the nurse that checked me in, and she got a wheel chair for me, nice lady. Then she wheeled me to a woman that took my general medical history. She wasn't very friendly, not that that is her job, I am just saying. After answereing her questions about my general health history, I was told to go into the waiting room. Once in there, I was called and information about my payment method was taken. I then proceeded to wait in that room for about two to two and a half hours. I then asked to speak to a supervising nurse so that I might know when I could expect to see a doctor if ever. I was eventually told that there were two patients ahead of me. They asked me if I was in pain, and I was but that was not the point, I had come to see a doctor and if for what ever reason there were none available the proper thing to do is to keep the paitient aware, my time may have been better spent either back at home or at another hospital if the staff was couteous, knowlegable, and professional enough to keep it's patients aware of the wait times to see thier doctor's. I then waited another half hour in the waiting room, I was called and rolled to an examining room where I waited fifty minutes before a nurse came in, asked if I was in pain, to which I replied, I will feel better if I can see a doctor. She smiled and closed the door behind her. Ten minutes later at 5:15pm I left, without ever seeing a doctor or knowing the reason why. I wouldn't go back there on a bet.
