Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital

I was in the ER yesterday. Treatment consisted of the doctor ordering tests and therapies, exclusively to cover his ...s. There was absolutely no consideration of what was in my best interest. Defensive medicine is always bad medicine. So this is a message to Dr. Urban. I did not have a stroke and I do not have sepsis. Today, I am afebrile, walking, talking and and feeling fine. If you would have taken a history and examined me, your diagnoses would have been more correct. So much for your diagnostic abilities. Glad I left when I did.

11/1/25 I was just in the hospital with my you ger sister after she recieved a burn on her leg. Her nurses, more specifically Addison. H a nursing student, were absolutely wonderful. My you ger sister who is 8 was able to actually have fun and a non-traumatizing experience with her there. The other nurses and doctors were wonderful yes, but her in specific stood out. Overal at the hospital we got immediate care and were out in a hour or so with amazing and experienced doctors and nurses. This was the last place I wanted to be today, but it wasnt the worse.

The ICU group was great until after day 3 my husband was moved to a diff floor and no one knows anything about him. The Dr Donohue who was supposed to order MRI with premeds for his allergy’s never happened. No calls nothing from her explaining why he was drugged and never had MRI. Terrible!! I left my husband overnight in good hands ,so I Thought!! Not sure what is next as he is being drugged again to get (hopefully) MRI tonight. No Dr in sight just words from a nurse who knows nothing about my husband. Unbelievable!! I am afraid to leave him

I had severe pain in my right side. Called an ambulance in McHenry Illinois and they were so helpful and understanding. I got into the Er and the team help figure out I had kidney stones. They talked with about a plan and,best course surgery. The nurses Morgan and so many help through this process. I get to go tomorrow because of.their wonderful work. shout to.the surgeons as well

Wife passed out at home. EmS staff was great. Then got to the ER. The triage nurse rolled their eyes when ems told them she passed out. My wife passed out when they put her in a wheelchair. Was not seen by a doctor for more than two hours.
