Lovelace Hospital Downtown

I had to go to the lovelace by ambulance twice in 2 week period. The first time I went for a severe asthma attack and recieved excellent service on 1-​16-​2016. Then on the 1-​22-​2016 I had extreme vomiting a diarrhea and could barely stand. I recieve terrible help from the staff I had to line my underware with wads of paper towels. And recieved no assistance walking to the restroom! I asked for a doctors note to cover several days. The nurse would only write a note out for one day! I’m still in bed at home wearing a depend trying to keep down liquids!

ER review — Not to single out this particular ER, but I think this review goes for pretty much any ER that has to take in a patient with a severe migraine. After going through this process many times over the past several years, the people taking the initial information and doing triage appear to do little to help their patients until the patient goes into the back and finally gets to see a doctor.
Emergency rooms are usually filled with loud children and televisions that do not have a sound adjustment. Many migraine patients are hyper sensitive to both light and sound, additionally, they may have severe nausea including vomiting; and in my wife’s case, she passed out and fell on the floor injuring her head. That finally got her in to see an ER doc.
I know that ER’s must admit patients according to the individual’s imidiate trauma needs. But to make a patient with not mild, but SEVERE migraine symptoms endure the pain and suffering put forth in a waiting room for an hour or more is unconscionable.
Is this really the best you can do to treat your patients?
Just one more reason why we don’t suggest anyone move to Albuquerque unless you absolutely have to.

This place is my new bestie :). I’m new to the ABQ and I had a bad rash on my arm that was spreading. I received Medicare and figured it was worthless. I was so wrong! I arrived about 9 am and was told they accept «all insurance» wow impressive. I didn’t have to wait long at all.
Three nurses came in to check me out and I was given 2 scripts. Went to their pharmacy and they were done in 15 minutes.
Cost to me = zero
I love it here. Thank you new mexico I’m a big fan :).
