Mercy Medical Center
Reviews and Complaints

Nurse ellie on 11th flr mercy medical center made my stay uncomfortable, hostile & not a prayerful place of healing. I attempted to reach out to patient support and found more of corporate run around. I have decided to post here, forward copy of false email I obtain from nurse on hospital computer racist against me and my people of color to legal. My contact number is [protected]. Contact me or not I will be moving forward to board with information. I dont know when mercy staff started treating black middle class men as second class people but its going to stop today!...

Beware of mercy hospital

I was admitted to mercy as a clinical trial study patient of dr. paul thuluvath, which consisted of a brutal 48 week treatment of chemotherapy. thuluvath made the treatment worse by his verbal abuse, and the stress related to repeated bills which I was not responsible for. he told me after my treatment, I was cured.

My last scheduled visit to him, he unsympathetically told me that I was not cured, and that I should have called him instead of driving to the hospital. I reminded him I had a scheduled appointment, and was following his instructions. instead I wasted my time, my gas, and my parking fees. thuluvath said I was discharged as a patient. although at that last meeting, he assured me he would contact me when a new treatment would become available, I never heard from him again. instead, he just abandoned me to possible death from liver disease.

Consequently, when I read of new treatments available, I had to search for another doctor and seek a new treatment. thuluvath and mercy caused me much stress during the entire course of treatment. all bills were supposed to be covered by mercy and thuluvath according to the conditions of the study. instead, I kept getting bills throughout the course of my treatment, and months after it had concluded. I spent many hours dealing with mercy's billing department, and mercy's patient relations department, and finally the pharmaceutical company, all to no avail. I approached thuluvath for a solution. they all told me it was thuluvath's responsibility to ensure I would not be billed. rather than trying to resolve the situation, thuluvath told me he would terminate me from the study. I have made complaints about thuluvath to mercy hospital. they took no action, and he has suffered no reprimand. now I will initiate complaints on the internet about thuluvath and mercy. I hope and expect that these reviews will encourage other prospective patients to choose a doctor and hospital who really cares about their patients. thuluvath is an arrogant, unprofessional, self-centered and rude doctor, and more importantly a despicable and extremely unpleasant poor excuse of a human being. I have made complaints about you to mercy hospital. I hope and expect that these reviews will encourage other prospective patients to choose a doctor and hospital who really cares about their patients.

I invite anyone to contact me for additional information.

Went to Hospital E.R.with patient, at request of Doctor at approx. 3:20 p.m.(In lobby) told the receptionist and the nurse that patient had a prescription for an outpatient Doplar. But the swelling increased in right leg and foot feel hot. Patients' Dr. said she needed to go to E.R. it would be a faster way to be seen. At 7:20pm my patience was streched to the limit and I told the front desk that we had waited long enough. We were called in shortly after this. It seemed that others were going into a waiting room faster and with complaints about the same or less. It is challenge to keep a person entertained and redirected for 4 hours. Especially in pain with mental illnesses, not to mention fear.

I have been disappointed other times about time spent in the lobby or in the rooms. Can there be a way a doctor can look at the patient, order tests, then wait. I myself have waited for test results for hours while nurses and doctors stand around talking, joking. Now, I do not have alot of complaints with most of the care received there. The nurses and Doctors seem to be nice, but I will probably bring my clients to Reed City or Munson for most issues. Can you call in more Doctors, PAC or N.P when it is real busy? Another person was vomiting blood and was in the lobby for about 2 hours. Just a suggestion: While nurses are standing around would it be productive to have them stand in rooms of the most hurt to give comfort to patients. I have had nurses do that with me when I was real sick and had no family with me. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Completely incompetent and dangerous doctor is allowed to keep practicing at the Mercy Medical Center in Williston, ND. No concern, cold
