Took my wife here and she has had extreme abdominal pain for a month due to cysts and God knows what else. We got here at 8pm, it is now 2:35AM and we have yet to be seen. We are uninsured and we were told to come here instead of Baptist South, because they didn’t do much of anything either. So far, I’m extremely pissed. There are two people drunk out of their minds with food everywhere and all over themselves. Security could care less walking around and making jokes. Haven’t seen any nurses. The main ER smells like pee. Several people have gone in front of my wife. When I asked the ER desk attendant they gave me some half-butt story about how some patients have a higher BP or heart rate so they go first. BS. We still have two people in front of us and there’s only two other people in the ER with us.... the two wasted men passed out with take out food all over them. My wife has been to three hospitals in a month and none of them can do anything but tell her to go somewhere else. I’m at a loss for not only this hospital but for our entire healthcare system. If you make no money and depend on the system to feed, clothe, and bathe you then you’re fine. But if you work, even part time, good luck getting any kind of help from the government, doctors, or anyone else without a stack of money in your hand. This place is a joke. I’ll update after we see a doctor, but with their timing it probably won’t be until 2018.
I was eventually checked in checked in and told to have a seat -- for 30 minutes. There was a loud blasting TV -- I only listed to the evening news and this was junk. In spite of the "no cell phones" signed everyone except me was screaming into a phone. It was extremely tension provoking. Perhaps this is why the staff was enclosed with glass.
I checked in with the lobby receptionist -- noticed for her ultra long finger nails pained in ombre pastels -- with eyelids to match. I told her that I had appointments at 9am and 11am. Apparently she did not see the 9am appointment and sent me off in search of what turned out to see my 11am appointment. It appears that they have no maps of an extremely complex system of interconnected buildings. After waiting while the receptionist -- in a glassed in booth helped someone else. She checked me in and then said my procedure was in 2 hours.
What a total failure of a hospital.
The technician who performed my procedure -- was EXCELLENT -- she was professional and made me relax. But why while I was in a state of undress was she interrupted 4 times by people entering the room to
They keep you waiting and stalling for important operations and sometimes giving people the wrong medications.
Well, at least I'm not the only one. I was delirious from what I believe were the drugs I was given. I was given meds and they let me lie in my own excrement, hog tied to my bed, no access to a help button. No water, until I felt like I walked half of Death Valley. They only reason I don't have a case with them is because, after being treated roughly, the nurse on duty, and her INSISTING I be restrained again, I kicked her assistant in the chest about 5 ft. back. BTW, regular rooms were great, ICU was a debacle.
This test was more complex -- and these people were great. Apparently the hospital no longer provides them with blankets to keep patents warm while in MRI tubes. They found some sheets
I was sent here -- over an hour from home - because I was told that closer MRI equipment did not give accurate results. This includes the two on Amelia Island; where I live. Knowing what I know I accept this as correct.
A call was made for someone to come and get me -- as if I had made the error and gone to the wrong area.
The staff members who conducted the testing were excellent and ultra professional. They got five stars.
After this I was sent off to retrace my steps to the area I had started in.
I called my ride, who was shopping, after the tests and decided to peek in the cafe for a snack. A single 6oz soup of tomato soup was $3.08 -- WOW. A simple lunch on a paper plate was $10.00. I am sure the employees get either free of highly reduced lunches.
Not from the area so just came to the closest ER to me. Worst mistake EVER! I am 5wks pregnant with unimaginable abdominal pain and spotting and I've been sitting in the waiting area for over an hour! Seriously?? Meanwhile all the nurses are so relaxed, laughing. But they were very quick about getting me to registration! Making sure they get paid first before making sure my child is okay??? I am livid. As soon as my ride gets here I'm going to another hospital. Only reason they get a one is because I can't give a zero. By the way I am still holding my cup of urine they asked for when I first got here. This ER is a freaking JOKE!!!!
