i have been there multiple times as a patient and visiting patients. i have come to the conclusion that most of there employees don't care about patients and they also run very slowly i have an open wound in need of stitches. there was no no else in the waiting room and it still took over an hour and a half to get back into a room. they didn't even give me any gauze to keep pressure on it. i still had to use the paper towel i grabbed when i got cut. though one time they did take me back within 30 minutes it was an xray and the xrays came back quickly.

There were 2 nurses at different times I met. Kelly Hutson and Cheri Tracy. These lady's really have a special gift of being nurses. If anyone should ever get them or have them take care of a loved one, then your loved one is getting special care. Laporte Hospital is lucky to have these nurses. They cared, and even offered my dad coffee as where there was other nurses that told him he would need to go down stairs. Thank you lady's.

The Er was okay, took them 5 hours to get some blood work and a x-ray back, but I was neglected in no way. However though I was admitted that day to the 4th floor, the nursing staff during the day needs to be retrained on how they are suppose to treat patients. They didn't even give me my breathing treatments and the nurses response "It's not my job to read everything in your chart." IF the doctor orders something when you are admitted the nurse should probably read that information, not one nurse missed this, 2 did. I will not be going back to La Porte hospital if this is how they are allowed to treat patients.

Most awful experience I've ever had in an ed.
