Review of Coliseum Medical Center

I'm not sure why the food service was questionable...

I'm not sure why the food service was questionable especially as far as a menu. I never did see one when I got a call for my meals I had to ask what is available and continue the questions to figure out what I wanted as I didn't know what was available. Then received good sweet tea but as I had recently been diagnosed with diabetes and was told that I would have a light diet that didn't make a lot of sense along with the desserts and other options that I did get.
The nurse seating staff is always courteous mostly aware but seem to be loosely connected for communications between shifts. First nurse asked second nurse to acquire pumps for leg pressure support and that never did happen. So of course that option didn't get used. The portable urinal wasn't something to be noticed by a nurse I had to request sometimes twice over to get it emptied as I was not supposed to get up without help. So I chose to use it instead of bothering nurses which I thought were busy. I have done this enough that I recognize some of the folks that come true to see me. I had a short stay and I'm glad because I don't want to take space for people that need it but thanks for your response reactions to my needs and the needs of so many others. Y'all take care of yourself while you're caring for so many others.
