Breckinridge Memorial Hospital

Patients coming into the ER are initially treated with cynicism until their tests come back, proving they have an actual problem. This gaslighting by medical professionals likely leads to many people with legitimate issues leaving before they have been properly treated. Also, why bother having a portal if no documentation is uploaded there? I called several days ago to inquire about this so I could receive my test results for my PCP and I am still awaiting a callback from BMH, though I see my PCP today. I asked the ER doctor if I should follow up with my gastroenterologist and was told no. I am glad I didn’t listen to him as diverticulitis flares warrant a colonoscopy. This was only the most recent terrible experience here, but there won’t be another. Do better!

Great hospital! My son was having an asthma attack and they got us in right away and took great care of us while there.

I was in and out within a little more than an hour. The front desk staff and nurses were very nice. They even called to check up on me the next day. The doctor on call however is a different story. He was judgemental, opinionated and not …

Daughter in law took 3 month old last night to ER. Baby was breathing and wheezing hard. She had a video to show the doctor but he walked away when she pulled it up. Said he would not listen to her at all. Said this was normal and sent her home. Mom had to tell him she was diagnosed with bronchitis and had been on breathing treatments and sister has pneumonia and RSV. He tested her for RSV and said it was negative. He did absolutely nothing for her Next morning, she is breathing harder and her Pediatrician told her to get her to ER. She is driving hour and 1/2 to get to a children’s hospital because they didn’t want to mess with another rural hospital. I sent the video to a family member who is a retired nurse, she said this was not normal and the hospital must hire vets. This is sad. Why be a doctor if you are not willing to do the work and least act like you are concerned especially when dealing with a baby. I’m so disgusted with the treatment that was received UPDATE: Baby was admitted to children’s hospital. They said there was nothing normal about her breathing. She was there for 5 days on oxygen and IV. My son called Breck Co ER director and left a message almost a week ago and she has not returned his call. The ER pediatrician asked to see the video that Breck Co doctor walked out on and could not believe he said that it was normal by what he saw. RSV was negative at Breck but positive at Children’s UPDATE 2: They finally called back and made everything sound great; however, that was the end of that. She had to take the oldest daughter (2 yrs) for a rash. It was late and thought maybe there was another doctor working but low and behold the same doctor as last time and he recognized her. He was very rude and refused to run a urine test to see if bacteria was causing the problem. Asked her if she ever thought about doing things herself at home before she came to hospital. He kept bringing up the youngest daughter and how childrens hospital just observed her. She did nothing for the child there at the time. Daughter-in-law then went off and asked him then why did the have her for 4 days on oxygen. He continue to push her on the matter. She finally grab the child and walked out. She said she will die on the side of the road before she goes back if that doctor was still there. I do believe it’s worth a 30-40 minute drive to Leitchfield hospital from now on myself
