Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC)

First and foremost. EVERYONE was kind and compassionate. Quick care. I am not a whimp so I feel like i was knocking on deaths door to consider going to an ER. Meningitis can fbe fatal. However my labs showed nothing, which I question that they were even my labs because I had a temp of 102.8 for 3 days. MDlive would not treat me due to symptoms. Same issue at community care. And my primary sends labs out so a delayed diagnosis of meningitis and he is unable to treatt that as well. I was originally going to try Community Hospital ER but was not interested in learning a new process. I truly felt like I was going to die. When labs showed nothing ( they definitely seemed worried about every form of Corona though, still must be a kick back for that) They did take one chest exray and as soon as something/anything appeared (pneumonia lower rigjt lung, even though DO said left lung) they were done. Could not get me out of there fast enough. They did no testing for meningitis even though that's what I was concerned about. Had it a Christmas, I asked for an antiviral drug along with some antibiotics, Could not hurt cuz they sure didn't test for everything. I was told no cuz that would have shown as a high WBC which they never tested. I am even worse 2 days later. I have to go back to someone because I have a significant loss of hearing.now,,,, another tell tell of meningitis . After reading my labs at home I noticed it wes not an MD but a DO. Would have never consented to treatment from a DO. I have nothing but horrible, life threatening experiences with DO's but I was so sick I just wanted treatment and did not monitor the staff. Shouldn't have too. Needless to say more sick now. And will have to seek medical attention again. To the tune of another 500. No quality care here...mahbe if the taxpayers were covering the bill additional testing would have been provided.

This hospital I cannot recommend enough! I delivered my third baby here via c-section due to a few complications. But I felt so cared for and taken care of through out the entire labor and delivery process and post partum care! The nurses are all angels! They were super busy yet I never felt like a burden or that my needs were ever over looked or not met! All of them made sure my baby and I got the best care and advocated heavily for me!!! I would absolutely choose this hospital over and over again for my pregnancy and birth experience!!!!

The postpartum rooms featuring king-size beds were a highlight of our stay. The comfort and spaciousness of the rooms allowed us to relax and bond as a family in a cozy environment. It was a refreshing change to be able to sleep next to our partner in a comfortable bed rather than on a couch or in separate beds. The attention to detail in providing such comfortable accommodations further enhanced our overall experience and made our time at the hospital even more enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend!

For my first birth, labor and delivery was awesome. The nurses in labor and delivery were wonderful and supportive in walking me through the preeclampsia and the induction and eventual C-section. They were great about explaining my options, risks, and benefits and letting me choose what I wanted to do. It made a very scary situation better. However, after the C-section, is where things went very wrong and awful. When I was moved to postpartum care, the nurses were not as helpful or supportive. They were behind on giving me pain medication for my incision and so I was often in pain. They infiltrated my IV leaving my arm swollen and painful and I asked several times for them to help with that and was ignored each time. I was only given 5 minutes to hold my baby before he was taken out of my arms and whisked away, with the nurse saying that he was grunting and that was an indicator that he needed oxygen. I was not told that he was being taken to the NICU, nor did I give my consent to that. He was born only a few hours short of being considered full term, he was a healthy size and weight, and he had a great APGAR score. I wasnt able to see him until a few days after. The NICU was the worst part of my whole experience. I was never told any diagnosis of why he was being kept there. When I got to see him, he was on oxygen but stopped needing it after a couple of days. Then he was put on a nasal feeding tube, again no explanation or consent. The day after I was discharged, I came to see him in the NICU and deliver more breast milk and found him laying in a puddle of his own vomit and a soiled diaper and his nurse was nowhere to be found. The vomit on his face had crusted over, so it had been a while since he had been checked. Then I was told that he was being held for feeding issues saying that he was not eating enough and not keeping it down. They were expecting him to eat more than 2 ounces every 3 hours in 15 minutes and he was less than a week old. Then rather than looking at the amount they were feeding him which was based on a calculation rather than his actual needs and feeding cues, or the formula they were feeding him, they were wanting to withhold food for 6 hours to do an ultrasound, then surgery and possibly a swallow test with radioactive material. It was a fight to stop them from doing those things to my baby unnecessarily and look at simpler issues, like decreasing the volume and changing the formula. We had to bring in an independent pediatrician to help us stop them and come up with a concrete plan for getting him released. I was not supported to breastfeed or do skin to skin in the NICU and no real privacy was given for pumping. I was yelled at by a nurse for not knowing rules of the NICU, but no rules were ever shared with me. Then they kept moving the goalposts of what was required to allow for my babys release. All while I was still trying to recover from the birth. There was no sort of empathy from the NICU, except from 2 of his nurses. They were the only ones I could trust to truly care for my son. Getting him discharged was a nightmare and a huge fight with hospital staff threatening calling CPS and hitting us with the full NICU bill if we tried to take him AMA. Despite how wonderful labor and delivery was, the rest of the experience was completely awful.
