Another terrible experience at the Wood County Hospital. I was having extreme pain in my abdomen area during sex and incontinence issues. They we're much more concerned about my lack of insurance. Did a pelvic exam and a urine sample but apparently they didn't bother to look at either of them because I left with no real diagnosis.
After following up with a doctor who actually knew what she was doing, she was able to clearly see i had a full blown UTI. I also had a major bowel obstruction causing me pain as well. SHE gave me actual antibiotics since your hospital didnt actually bother treating me. My recommendation? Unless you're dying, drive to Toledo.

I was taken to Wood County Hospital alone by ambulance after I hit my head and lost a moderate amount of blood in an accident. They slapped a bit of glue on my forehead, left me to sleep by myself for about an hour, and sent me off despite the following:
a) They were fully aware I had no way of contacting someone who could pick me up,
b) The bus they told me to take home had stopped running a half hour ago, and
c) I'd been diagnosed with a concussion: One bad enough that I literally couldn't read and didn't know my own phone number. I cried about my broken glasses and the nurse just looked annoyed.
So, I attempted to walk home and slowly wandered a mile and a half in the wrong direction in an unfamiliar neighborhood before I was competent enough to pick a random contact from my phone. A long-distance friend picked up and lead me back to my dorm using Google Maps. When I got back, I was covered in so much blood that my roommate thought I'd dyed my (thick, shoulder-length) hair. She cleaned me up, got me water, and everything else the hospital staff was probably supposed to do.
So, long story short, get somebody to drive you to Toledo. I probably would have been safer had I been left to bleed on the pavement alone.

Stop having "unruly" patients arrested, ESPECIALLY after they have been medically cleared. If they are medically cleared to leave then just kick them out. No need to call the police and ding up someone's record potentially and potentially for the rest of their lives. And no, they did not "do it to themselves." There are probably many occasions when you could just kick the person out rather than running to the police. WCH needs to adjust it's policy, find some sort of private security funding, or learn to utilize restraints and medication to calm a person down. If anything, it is also straining the resources of the police many times when the hospital calls police, perhaps.

Jackie U. in billing is unprofessional, arrogant, moody, inpatient, classless and mocks those with Brian Tumors and laughs at those with single sided deafness. The Blade will be contacted as will my Attorney. Can't belive she is in the position that she is in. She should step down now what a shameful display and cowardly. SHE MAKES FUN OF THOSE WITH DISABILITIES!
