This is the worse hospital to go to. I had issues w/breathing & the worse headache ever. I had seizures also. They cut my shirt off & tried to insert an iv. When I opened my eyes, this is what I saw from the iv insertion. They were talking about keeping me overnight. All of a sudden, I was released. I was sitting there for two to three hours before having a seizure after telling them my problem. When you mention certain illnesses, you are supposed to be seen stat(immediately). I had two brain aneurysms and a stroke in 2007. If you don’t see anything from a CT, do a MRI.

If I could give zero stars I would. My son went here after having to administer his epi pen twice at home. He was triaged and sent back to the waiting area. Only called back up to get his dad DOB. When asked about an estimated wait time he was told she didn’t have an idea because there were numerous ambulances in the back. My son counted 18 people not including himself in the waiting area with no movement. I must not forget being that he was there for an allergic reaction requiring him to use his epi pen with side effects of palpitations, the jitters, being anxious. You would think the MA or nurse that took his vitals signs would have at least given him the numbers. He wasn’t given anything. I asked him because I’m a nurse and was trying to gauge if his heart had normalized. After a while my son decided to leave, informed the desk….the lady told him I understand! This is not an isolated occurrence. My son bought his roomate to the ER one night for chest pains, SOB etc they sat for hours without being called to the back except for vitals. They ended up leaving that night as well. It’s ridiculous being in a college town the students can’t get emergent care. It’s really sad when the students speak among themselves and know it makes no sense to go to the ER in thibodaux which is very sad when you hear kids are not close to home and the next ER isn’t close either

11/14/24 my wife had been suffering with a severe migraine for five days. We were advised to go to the emergency room for a CT scan and IV medicines. We arrived at 2:00 pm and sat in the lobby for 4 1/2 hours. Finally she was put in a room and it took over an hour before a doctor came see my wife. Finally, they started and drip. We were in the ER for a total of 7 1/2 hours.
This is my second horrible nightmare experience that I’ve had with Thibodaux hospital emergency room this year in 2024. The only reason why I gave this rating a one star is because there was no option for zero stars. This was their last chance. I will ever go to Thibodaux Hospital emergency room again… Moving forward I will always go to Terrebonne general where we have been seen and treated in a timely and professional manner every time.

Brought my dad in to Thibodaux Regional at 8:30 am for not being able to breath due to congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. We have been sitting in the treage area for 6 hours now. Still waiting on bed. Have not seen a Doctor yet. He’s been sitting in a wheelchair this whole time. The staff is nice but ther is nowhere to put people. Maybe they should spend the money on expanding the er and staff. This is extremely unsatisfactory!!

My father passed away at this hospital on the morning of January 24th, 2024. My siblings and I drove from different states to be with him when we learned he was having a heart attack. The hospital successfully put in 3 stents and I was on the phone when the Dr. Came in to tell my stepmother that he would be going home in 2-3 days and the surgery was a success. Fast forward and my father was experiencing extreme abdominal discomfort. Extreme. It was the most difficult thing to watch how the nursing staff treating him and us. I have to say that there was one younger blonde nurse who was incredibly compassionate, the other two were awful. My father was continuously told to calm down with a raised voice (by the middle aged brunette nurse) and we were all told that he only had anxiety. This went on for hours until my brother asked why our father's abdome was so distended on one side. At that point the nurse decided he needed a CT scan, which turned into an MRI after she spoke to cardiology. This is where they discovered massive internal bleeding which was worsened by the blood thinners he was on following surgery. You see, my father did not need a laxative (as the brunette nurse gave him), he was bleeding internally. The story gets worse. My father had been vomiting that morning prior to going to the hospital. He was vomiting coffee ground like material which indicates a GI bleed from what I know. He had been bleeding internally for quite some time. While this nurse continued to raise her voice and tell my poor father he was suffering from anxiety and needed to calm down, he was in agony due to the internal bleeding. As the morning turned to afternoon, and afternoon to evening, his suffering increased with the same reaction from the brunette nurse and another blonde nurse who was also middle aged. My father began to struggle intensely with his breathing. He repeatedly told the nurses that he could not breathe. No reaction, just the continued narrative that he was just suffering from anxiety. He was not suffering from anxiety, at least that is not the whole story. I was in the room with my father as he started to thrash back and forth begging for help to breathe and the nursing staff did nothing until my father went unconscious. At that point the older blonde nurse pushed me away from his bedside and told me I needed to leave because now it was an emergency. A male was in the corner by the door, as my father was unconscious, and very calmly said they now had to do an emergency intubation, there was no urgency about that guy. There was no rush to any of them. No comfort offered by one of them. My father was a Proud Vietnam Veteran. He deserved so much better than what Thibodaux ICU staff offered. Nurse's are supposed to be kind and compassionate. The cardiologist was rude and short but Surgeons are known for that. You ICU Nurse's, the two who primarily treated my father, need to take a good look at your profession of choice. I have had much experience with hospital staff and this was the worst I have ever seen or experienced in my life, and at the most traumatizing point in my life. You let my father drown from pulmonary edema, suffer in agony, while you raised your voices at a 77 year old veteran, husband, father, son. Please fix yourselves.
