I do not recommend this hospital
I had surgery in July. With this particular surgery the usual stay is 2 nights and 3 days. I ended up staying 5 days, 6 nights. If the nurses took me seriously about my pains and concerns, I don’t feel like I would have had to stay double the usual time. I had to beg the nurse to do something about chest pain. Sounds silly, but I almost called 911 for chest pain. The pain was bad, and no one acted on it. This nurse didn’t even want to give me a hot pack for the chest pain. She said the pain was ‘deeper than that’, but didn’t do anything else to help. Finally, the doctor ordered a medicine after doing a CT scan to help inflammation after surgery. The night nurse ‘didn’t feel comfortable’ giving the non narcotic to me, and stated she didn’t have a charge nurse to help her. After my mom told her to ask a supervisor or call the pharmacy to inform her on the medicine, she walked out. I was suffering with no sleep for 48 hours 2 days post op. The nurses need to be more informed. Also, when throwing up a pink tinged color over and over night all day and night a patient does not want to hear, ‘it’s a slow process, or my daughter went through the same thing.’ No, do something to help your patient. The Worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. The only compassion I received was from house keeping/dietary. I had a horrible experience at this hospital.
