Hill Regional Hospital

Don’t go here. They almost killed my 81 year old cousin this week. He had a nose bleed and they packed it and told him to come back in 6 days. We rushed him to the Dallas ER the next day because he felt so bad. They told us the bleed was a ruptured vein near his brain and he could have died if the pack had been left there any longer. Not to mention, you’re not supposed to leave the packing in there more than 3 days!!! This is the most recent horror story my family has to share about this hospital. If I could give them zero stars i would.

I am reporting this hospital under 133.47 Texas Administrative Code 133.47 for neglect of an elderly patient.
(A) Reporting abuse and neglect. A person, including an employee, volunteer, or other person associated with the facility who reasonably believes or who knows of information that would reasonably cause a person to believe that the physical or mental health or welfare of a patient of the facility who is receiving mental health or chemical dependency services has been, is, or will be adversely affected by abuse or neglect (as those terms are defined in this subsection) by any person shall as soon as possible report the information supporting the belief to the department or to the appropriate state health care regulatory agency in accordance with HSC, § 161.132(a).

My husband had to stop here on his way to Waco because he started feeling dizzy and lightheaded while driving. They didn’t do an EKG and acted skeptical about his symptoms, and said «weren’t you just here for this, last week?» (He wasn’t, and hasn’t ever been there.). Didn’t appreciate their attitude, I’m an ER nurse and I know all about people who are just seeking drugs, but he wasn’t having any pain or asking for any drugs. I think it’s really unprofessional to grill people like that. They could’ve just looked up his history, and seen that he’s never been there, and seen that he hasn’t been prescribed narcotics for years. Very insulting. And, the fact that he came in feeling dizzy and disconnected should have warranted an EKG immediately.
I’m glad that they saw him, checked him out, and found that he was okay, but definitely not impressed with their service.
