Beloit Memorial Hospital

My mother recently went to the hospital with a friend, for very elevated glucose and sepsis from a uti. I am her activated power of attorney and I called four times to try to talk to someone to go over medication's so they are aware of what she takes because she had brain surgery 3 months ago. No one called me back. I had to insist on talking to a nurse and if I wouldn't have insisted, they would've given her a lot of medication that she no longer takes. The friend that went with advised them to please call me to go over medication and get recent history. They did not. When I went to hospital the next morning, it took me to go through her chart from my phone to let them know that her magnesium level was critically low and she needed to be treated for that, her cardiac troponin, levels were also elevated and they weren't worried about that either( UW Madison was checking this level every hour )Beloit also went on to tell me that well she had brain surgery two years ago right? No three months ago. At that time I immediately removed my mother from the hospital and took her to UW Madison, which is the best Hospital around if you care about your family and want them to have the best care do not bring them to Beloit Memorial Hospital. I worked for Beloit health system for years and it is not a place that you should bring your loved ones. Dr Ebo is a horrible doc who does not care at all. Shame on you Beloit hospital. Very happy I took my mother else where to get the help she needed.

Been here several times, I've had a triage nurse tell me "well you did it to yourself to be here" while I was in DKA hardly able to breathe, another nurse walked in to my ER room on a different occasion and one had to look up how to give a toridol shot step by step and then another time a nurse openly admitted that the ER doesn't Type 1 enough with celiacs to know how to properly treat my condition. Finally let's not forget the time when I went to CT while my sugar was 53 and because I had to 1/4 of a Gatorade and wasn't acting low they still took me . Not to mention I had ketones that were large the doctor stated she didn't know the source and would give me some.zofran to help the nausea but 30 mins later after being discharged from this incompetent place I ended up at OSF severely dehydrated because I was vomiting and never given anything to stop it or hydrate me at all but then on top of it they tell me I'm Ketosis. So all in all don't go here if you're wanting life rescuing treatment or friendly competent care because this was all the past year imagine if it would've life threatening they'd probably just blink and shrug it off, it's about money not the people.

Please, I am begging you -- DO. NOT. GO. HERE. In my experience, Beloit failed my grandmother in ways I will never forgive. She was a patient there for decades. Dr. Gold cared for her until he retired.... and the moment he was gone, everything started to crumble. My grandma kept saying she didn't feel right. Instead of listening, they brushed her off. They switched her meds, blamed her for "taking them wrong," acted like she was the problem. Meanwhile her health spiraled. She couldn't walk. She was confused. She was clearly getting worse, but every visit ended the same way... dismissed, sent home, ignored. My grandfather and aunt begged them to run tests. They were told to "come back another day." September. 2025. Weeks of this. Then October 3rd hit. She couldn't walk at all. Barely knew where she was. An ambulance was called and even the paramedic said, "We're not taking her to Beloit. Pick a different hospital." That should tell you everything. OSF actually listened. They ran tests immediately. And in hours they found what Beloit never bothered to look for: sepsis. Life-threatening. Spreading. Killing her. They started treatment, removed her pacemaker, fought to save her. She clawed her way back enough to go to FairOaks for therapy. We thought maybe, just maybe, this nightmare was ending. But she got sick again. Back in the hospital. And on November 5, 2025, at about 1 a.m., we said goodbye to the woman who held our family together. The last conversation I ever had with her, she told me she didn't think "this was it." She believed she had more time. Two days later, she was gone. And I will never stop thinking about how preventable this all felt, if Beloit had taken her seriously, listened, tested, cared. In my experience, they didn't just miss something -- they ignored a woman who was begging for help. They brushed off the people who loved her and watched her fade. They acted like she was an inconvenience instead of a patient. And I will be furious about that for the rest of my life. If you love someone, if you value their life, don't risk it here.

While everything was pretty fast and everyone was pretty nice, they at first told me that I needed my appendix removed (which obviously terrified me). I was then told after me telling my whole family that I was going to surgery that it was just an infection and was sent home with antibiotics. Not only that but when asked for a bathroom sample, I used my private bathroom to figure someone's else full urine sample in the bathroom in open air! Which I'm sorry but that's disgusting! Makes me feel like nothing was cleaned from patient before me!

I recently had a heart attack and had to have a stent. I want to thank all of the nurses and doctors that took care of me. They were all so nice. Very professional and attentive.
