This was the closest hospital to my city that performed this surgery. (90 miles away.)
Competitors:
The med surg/bariatric floor were very neglectful.
Comments:
The anesthialogist gave me morphine before he asked if I could take it and my respirations dropped so low that I had to be put on a c-pap respirator for 24 hours and placed in ICU for 9 hours. Then I was transfered to a telemetry floor where the staff was attentive. After they removed the c-pap machine I was moved to the med surg/bariatric floor and was ignored. I never got anyone to assist me to the bathroom, I had to jump out of the bed to go and could not climb back in because it was so high. I sat and waited more than 45 minutes to be returned to bed each time. My beeping IV was ignored till it infiltrated twice. I even called the operator and asked her to call for assistance since the staff had not come for over one hour, but still no one came. I would not let them restart it the second time it infiltrated. No one ever asked if I was having pain, no one ever did I&O, no one ever asked if I tolerated the fluids, no one ever asked if I was throwing up, which I did, no one came to help me clean up after I threw up, and I heard the night staff talking and joking across the hall at the nurses station and next door in the nurses lounge. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone. I have taken a note to the DON and the Administrator in hopes that they may change things.
