Review of MedStar Health, Washington Hos...

If there were an option to give lower than 1 star,...

If there were an option to give lower than 1 star, that is exactly what I would give this hospital. Both in the ER and on the floor once admitted. The ONLY nice experience I encountered at this hospital was my surgeon and the wonderful nurse that took care of me in post-op until my room was ready. I was transported from over an hour away to this hospital only to be left with difficulty breathing sitting by the COLD door with no one helping me for an hour. Not only that, but when my family called to get an update on me they were told I was in a room. The only room I was in, was the waiting room where the "nurses" were watching a football game on tv. After my surgery, in post-op I was having some problems and the nurse got a doctor (who was working on the floor, not mine) and she said "to find someone else because she didn't want to have to follow up with me since I wasn't her patient." And after all of the terrible experiences, when I was finally discharged after being admitted after my surgery, the nurse had me take out my IV, and then had me walk to the entrance of the hospital to await my car. If you want to have horrible treatment, then I fully recommend this terrible hospital. If you want to be treated like a human, after being sick and having surgery...go elsewhere! I have never written a bad review about anything, however someone needs to put a stop to how horrible this hospital and its staff are. I have called numerous times to address my issues and concerns with my treatment and have yet to receive a call back. That should tell you something shouldn't it?
