St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital

If you don't have an obvious medical condition such as a bone sticking through your skin you'll need to seek help elsewhere ; they are definitely not medical detectives .

My sister was taken to St. Luke's Des Peres hospital, she was very sick. They told us within 20 minutes that she was in kidney failure. Several hours later she was admitted to the hospital. She was very sick and her body was so swollen that she could not bend her legs or put weight on her feet. They had convinced her that her kidney damage was her fault from taking ibuprofen. Dr. Angelin the hospitalist called me and told me to come and pick her up. They had her scheduled to go to dialysis Mon., Wed., and Fri. at 6:00 a.m. I told him that she would not be able to take care of herself (she's a widow) since she was in so much pain and would not be able to get in and out of a car to get to dialysis. She did not have anyone that could her her there 3 times a week at 6:00 and wait 4 hours to get her back home. He told me "that is what family and friends are for". I explained that the time of day and the cost of getting her dialysis would be a hardship on us that she needed to go to a rehab facility where they are equipped to get her to dialysis until she would be able to do it herself. He told me that they were not going to send her to rehab and asked " So are you just going to let her die because it is a hardship?" Shame on you Dr. Angelin, shame on you! That statement was very cold and hurtful. We did take her home and she ended up back in the hospital a day later. Come to find out she was eaten up with cancer and was in kidney failure due to the cancer which they never found at St. Luke's. My sister has now passed away after a long 7 month battle. I will never forget the hurtful words Dr. Angelin said to me and I will never forget how sad my sister was when they told her that she had done to kidney damage to herself.

Great experience at the ER this weekend. Nurses took care of me quickly and the ER doc did a bang-up job.

Great physicians. They found a clot in my Father's heart. He was out the next day and so happy to have his Life back. The Lord has blessed the men and women here to be miracle workers. Shine on, in the life saving work you perform daily, and know miracles happen everyday through your minds and hands. The Creator has shared His secrets with You. You are an awesome team.
