Fulton County Hospital: Emergency Room - Salem, Arkansas

M Silver.

If it could it would be zero stars. I came in for trouble breathing and they were rude to me they glared at me they give me dirty looks they ignore 90% of my questions, they GUESSED my weight instead of actually weighing me and one of my concerns were about losing lots of weight. They cut me off when i'm talking and trying to explain what's going on. When I expressed a concern to them about the treatment they recommended I go somewhere else! And on top of all of that I received the WRONG discharge paperwork!!!!! How do you mess something like that up when you work at a hospital. That’s something really important to mess up like that. I had ZERO idea on what i was supposed to do to get better because I didn’t have correct paperwork and now i’m in MUCH worse health!

I wish I could have given 0 stars. I hurt my foot some weeks back and could not walk on it without being in severe pain. The nurses inside made no move to help me from the car or assist me with a wheel chair so I had to hop. When I got there they treated me like it wasn’t a medical emergency even though it was black and blue, so swollen that I felt like there was no more stretchable skin left to hold the fluid, and no circulation was getting to my toes. They made a comment about “well you’re walking on it.” HOPPING. I was one legged hopping and out of breath bc they made no move to grab a wheel chair and do their job. A few weeks later. I took my partner in because she fell and her knee popped and bent in a direction that a knee should not bend. She was crying and could not walk without screaming. I pulled up in the ambulance spot and they made no move to help. Made me get the wheel chair (as if I operate a wheel chair on a daily basis) and then rolled their eyes at me when I was struggling with it, again made no move to help. Once I got her inside I said “now that she’s in here does that give her rights to be taken care of long enough for me to go park the car? They said she would be fine and so I parked. When I came back in they called her back and again expected me to wheel her to the back. I looked at my partner and said “I’m sorry. I’m going outside, because this place is ridiculous.” The nurses are rude, the bedside manner among other things is non existent. Do not recommend. At all.

If I could give zero stars I would horrible bedside manner, nurses make it very clear they don't care about their patients. If you ask questions about your care or question what is happening to you, they immediately produce AMA paperwork without it being requested and have you leave. The nurses "are very proud of their facility", so if you actually want to be taken seriously and get help, do not go here.

"Dr." Larry Ezel at the Fulton county emergency room refused to treat my son. I took him in there at 1230 AM to be seen, because his private was swollen to 3 times it's normal size in a matter of a couple hours. I'm not a doctor, but any normal male that goes to sleep with a rash then wakes up in a couple hours with his private swollen triple in size would consider this an emergency. Well not good ol dr. ezel... Before even looking or knowing what was going on he began to lecture that a rash is not a medical emergency, and implied that at I wanted to be in there at 1 in the morning with my son. When I told him he didn't get to define what I consider a medical emergency, he simply said, I don't care what you think an emergency is, your free to go. Leaving a 14 year old without treatment, with horrible rash an what he himself called an infection which making his private swollen. There was no one else in the ER that I saw anywhere being treated, a receptionist at a desk, a nurse at the nurses station eating salad, and someone else sitting at a desk. All I can figure is we interrupted his solitaire game and he was upset he had to get off his keester to see a patient... I'd like to think I learned something from this experience, maybe a couple things. 1st you can have a piece of paper that says your a doctor and still be an idiot, 2nd I learned that larry ezel's definition of an emergency and mine differ, 3rd some people have no business being doctors and I met one tonight. I used it as a learning experience for my son also. And the lesson he took away from the experience is don't be like larry ezel... Worthless
