Mercy Joplin ER lacks compassion, kindness and empathy towards the disabled and chronically ill. The head doctor of the ER Jesse Hatfield wants to label everyone who comes through that door as an addict or drug seeker yet will tell you to your face he refuses to look at said chart to see what your illnesses are. He will even refuse to treat an infection properly and send you home with an antibiotic you are allergic to and tells you to take it anyways. Had to go to another hospital er to get proper treatment. Was septic, on IV antibiotics and was a 5 day hospital stay. Needed 3 additional weeks of antibiotics through a PICC line. The nurses act like it is an inconvenience to answer a call light, administer medication or answer questions. I've lived in many states and cities including in Missouri and mercy Joplin is the worst ER I have ever been to.
Recommendation: If you can avoid this er please do so they are only their for a paycheck not patient care
