I had to visit the ER due to being heavily intoxicated and with diabetes that a course is dangerous. All the nurses and doctors treated me nice and professional and were very patient with me as apparently I was a chatter box my entire time in the ER. I don't drink all the time and in fact the last time I had to go to ER for intoxication was about four years ago but this was at Banner Thunderbird. My experience at St. Joseph's was 10x's better.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because I asked for a wheelchair to be wheeled out at discharge. I asked 2-3 times and each time they said no. I finally said fine if you guys want the liability if I fall that's on you.
I know dealing with intoxicated people can be difficult but they still need to be treated like a human being and with dignity especially when they are diabetic.
I did not feel safe leaving but I was able to walk out and get to where I needed to be with-out falling.
No I did not drink and drive ;-)
I will address my concern further when they send out their survey.
Otherwise, it has been 25 years since I was treated at St. Joseph's and other than my discharge complaint I would definitely recommend St. Joseph's Hospital and Dignity Health for your medical needs.
