Review for Grand Itasca Clinic And Hospital, Grand Rapids, MN, USA
This place has a few good to great physicians. The few I have experienced and the stories I have heard are atrocious. I have and am still suffering some issues related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by a 2 day hospital stay. This was in the last half of 2011. I was taken off three medications that need to be reduced gradually. Instead, I was pulled off cold turkey to continue the withdrawal symptoms at home. My life and personality haven changed. These medications I took were needed for a spinal cord tumor and subsequent surgery. I was given prescriptions and did not abuse my medications. The final notes on my stay did not (according to three of my family members) coincide with instructions they were given. My family also kept telling the physicians that I needed my medication.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make it a for profit institution that is either independent or a part of another larger health enterprise. This way, the mistakes this NON PROFIT institution makes could be evaluated by more that a primary care provider or an internist who runs the hospital. Possibly, many mistakes that I would know better how to treat than those mistakes that have been made at Grand Itasca. I won't give their nickname out of respect for those good to great physicians.
