Actually I would give -5 star.

Actually I would give -5 star.

My experience, I had a bad infection, was told later they didn't think I was going to make it out of there. As I was getting better I look back now and understand that comment better. The floor nurses I must say was great. But the doctors and specialist need to be retrained in manners and their fields. To start with I am not gay, never experimented or what ever; but the doctors kept trying to get me to say I was. One Dr told another as if I wasn't there, "he's still in the closet.

Now about 10 years after all these problems started that led up to this hospital visit; it has now been determined to be Lyme disease, which I had suggested the whole time. Not one Dr, in all the visits I went to documented what I told them. I was always told you don't get Lyme in South GA. Guess they forget to tell the ticks.

While draining the infection from under my skin, the HEAD wound care nurse dropped her tools on the floor, picked them up and laid them on me. I had to tell her they where contaminated. She then tossed them and grabbed another set of sealed tools. I had to stop her again, and tell her you didn't change your gloves after you touched the floor and have contaminated those in your hands.
She was not gentle and never came back to the room. I was in over a week and that was the only time they cleaned it the wound.

During this stay, people entering my room was to be in suites so not to bring in more germs take the staff infection out of the room. They did not put the required PPE outside the door until the day I left. They could have spread my staff all over the hospital.

Most of the local Dr's are affiliated with this place. After discharge was to see specialist asp, appointments were over 2 months out.

Several weeks later the infection came back, no one at any of the local Phoebe primary care would see me, said they were booked. Had a friend call and got an appointment for the next day, which just told me they didn't want to treat me anymore.

Went to Piedmont emergency room, they said I wasn't given the antibiotics long enough to get rid of the infection.

Just recently my dad went there, walked in, when he left, it was in a wheelchair. Started getting worse a week later, my mom carried him back. They waited most of the day in the ER waiting room. None of the staff never called his DR that was on call for the ER that day.

We carried him to the Thomasville hospital. When they pulled his records from Phoebe, there was a lot they did not do or tell any of us. He had a bone infection nor did they treat it when he was in the hospital earlier. His funeral was Sunday.

Phoebe is a nonprofit with nice fat bank accounts over seas, that don't give a damn about their patients. Palmyra hospital, before Phoebe took over was the better hospital. I hope Lee County gets their hospital. Phoebe has lobbied and over taken the small hospitals and primary Dr's, ruining health care in SW GA.
