This place is a dangerous and disgusting place
Do not take your loved ones here. IU Methodist, Indianapolis nearly killed my Mother. She was rushed there for emergency facial surgery after a fall that shattered her facial bones. They did not operate on her for a week, allowed her bleeding to result in a 4 HB (7 can be fatal). They botched the surgery so badly she has paralysis, nearly choked to death, was put on a feeding tube after I questioned her not having any nutrition for several days due to no longer being able to swallow. She was there for 23 days and their negligence nearly killed her.

Absolutely furious with how I've been treated
Visit the last couple times was terrible and left high and dry in a crisis with no help and in the worst pain I've ever experienced.

Director of nursing needs a serious look at her staff
Terrible facility. Nursing staff doesn't show up when you hit a call light. they ask what you want over a speaker and never show up. My mother had multiple surgeries at the facility that leave her unable to move. Instead of nurses helping change her its me and my father because they will leave her to lay in filth. the doctor left after surgery and never talked to the family until the next day. Nurses will push everything to the next shift and then avoid you and have an attitude when they have to do their job. Place is dirty. Do not bring family you care about here.

I'm in another state and they talk to me....once!
My daughter is ill, has swollen feet, is in a wheelchair that's about had it, and her head is throbbing enough to make her cry. The ER checked her out and said she can go home. She also had a spider bite that blew up like a water balloon. My daughter is also homeless with emotional issues. I asked for a social worker to call me after speaking with my daughter about resources for homeless disabled people. She was not helpful, upon calling to speak with someone about her situation, I was told that my daughter would be released soon, which is around midnight. Can you believe that!?! They have been told that she has nowhere to go, and no family out there. After mentioning that releasing her would be an "Unsafe Discharge" I was ghosted. I was put on hold for so long I gave up. Now I'm just waiting for my daughter to call me and tell me what's going on with her.

They made me wait 16 hours in the ER to see a doctor
This hospital is extremely inefficient.

I left the hospital without consent due to being treated awful
I was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with pancreatitis. The nurses didn't show any compassion, most were rude, nor cared about your pain or needs. It would take them an average of 45 mins to get my pain meds to me. Also, sometimes would take multiple calls to the nurse to get them. The specialist misdiagnosed my left side pain where my pancreas was, saying my levels were good, that it was from being constipated and no longer pancreatitis pain. Therefore, lowered my pain medication dose. I was in so much pain and desperately needed help. I felt like I was in prison. Long story short, I left the hospital 5 days later without Dr consent, due to being treated awful and them not controlling my extreme pain. As I'd rather be at home in my own bed and deal with the pain without being mistreated and bullied. Since the physician said my pancreatitis was better and it was constipation, I figured I'd be ok. Well 2 days later I had a Fever of 102.7 and felt awful. I rushed to the ER at IU University Health and come to find out, that the supposedly constipation pain, was in fact my pancreas having an infection and dying tissue. I was hospitalized for 16 more days. I was on antibiotics and was put on a feeding tube for a month, to give my pancreas time to rest and heal. I did fully recover after a painful 6 weeks. I would never ever back to this terrible place again, nor want family or friends to endure what they put me through.

Really unprofessional
The doctors and nurses at the emergency room at IU Methodist are babies. I understand it's a teaching hospital but they were really unprofessional at times. Cursing easily and laughing with each other when the place was packed. It was a Saturday night. We had to ask no fewer than five nurses where my labs were when we had waited 3 hours for the results. The stupid thing on the wall said no more than an hour. Also, the doctor wanted us to call him by his first name and not doctor whatever. I thought that was really freaking weird but I guess that's the norm there.

Avoid this hospital like the plague
My father was a patient here recently and I am sharing his opinions as well as my own on this place. The doctors here are atrocious. Mostly, because there were multiple doctors giving contradicting orders and leaving the nursing staff to figure things out. One example, the morning of returning from surgery to re-close an incision, therapy techs showed up and tried to force him to get up and walk, when the doctor had told him directly he wasn't allowed to get up yet. Things like this were a daily occurrence during his stay.

AVOID THIS HOSPITAL AT ALL COSTS
I got into a car accident waited 2 hours to get an mri & another other to be triaged to a filthy room with a recliner. This is only after I had asked 3 different times if I could get a bed because my body was hurting & sitting upright made my body hurt even more. I was only given this room after I asked for my outpatient paperwork because I wanted to go home to LAY DOWN. As no one seems to be understanding that sitting upright is causing me PAIN. The nurses at the front are understaffed and you can tell they are spread thin I had to apologize for my behavior but waiting 3 hours in an emergency too & not being seen by a doctor is not what or something that anybody should ever have to endure. When I mentioned I was going to leave a review the nurse at the front pointed to the wall with a hotline where I can call & leave my opinion

You're better off not having insurance!!!!
The Hospital never asked me for my daughters insurance card, then sent me a bill for 277.80. After me calling and giving them my insurance information for my daughter they sent it in and coded it incorrectly and sent me a bill for 463.00. Now, they won't remove it and give me the cost of 277.80. This is why the world is screwed up.
