Wise Regional Health System

Worse Emergency Ever!!! Is rather go to JPS or Parkland! The nurse had a horrible attitude too! Spent 4 hours just to get a note for school! DO NOT GO TO THIS EMERGENCY ROOM!!!

I was visiting the Texas Back Institute nearby and TBI’s xray machine was broken (which would have been covered under the already negotiated visit price). Wise offered to do a radiograph, and only after the picture was taken, did they mention it would be $ 700 for the radiograph… which was totally unreasonable considering her MRI (a much more advanced picture technology) was $ 300. They «discounted» it to $ 400; however, I know of places I could have gotten the same radiograph for less than $ 100. Wise gouged me and took advantage of my circumstance when they know I didn’t have insurance. They have been unwilling to review further.

During admitting, the staff was wonderful. Once i got up to my floor and room, things seemed the same. On the third day, my a nurse got into a fight with my case worker in my room. Really? You’re going to fight with my case worker in front of your patient? For two days there were two elderly ladies that were having a hard time getting around in their wheelchairs, so I would help them. On the third day, one of the ladies needed help, was crying, and I helped her. The charge nurse yelled at me «Do you work here?» I responded no, I am just helping her get around. «She yelled back, you are NEVER to help another patient with their wheelchairs!» I responded that I want to be discharged, and discharged now. She said I would have to wait until the morning. I told her I will call my wife, and she will wake up the doctor, wake the director of your unit, and wake up the board of directors of the hospital if I can’t get discharged right now. Magically, the doctor called me, I explained to him what happened, and he said he would discharge me right away. Twenty minutes later I was out of that hell hole.
I went to another hospital and received much better care.
On the bright side? The doctor was incredible, so was my case worker and technicians.
