I have never had the displeasure of being a patient at this hospital, so I have not had an opinion to the staff or procedures until now. My daughter went into preterm labor at nearly 5 months pregnant this past week and went into the ER with her husband. She was also most likely dehydrated from not being able to keep anything at all down for two days. Her husband informed them of her condition, and that she had been there 2 days prior after water breaking, and that she was most likely in active preterm labor. They did not allow her husband inside, but did not tell him why. More than an hour and a half later, they were told when they got her a bed, they would let him in. They neglected to tell them that if he took a COVID test and it was negative--he could be with her. She was left in a wheelchair in labor and in pain, without being checked on for the next 3 and a half hours ( total of about 5). She began bleeding heavily, and finally her husband and her contacted her provider and she also tried to fight to get her a bed before she had the heartache of losing her first baby in a wheelchair alone. They finally got her to a bed in time for her to deliver within minutes.
The saddest part is that they actually had beds available. I do not know if they had to close beds to make space for "social distancing" or what the problem was. If this was the case, this is very sad that patient care would come to this point of risking a patient's life to conform to state orders. Regardless of that point, they should have taken her up to labor and delivery . She had just been at the hospital with her water broken days prior. She was scared, alone, and neglected for way too long, and almost had to lose her baby in a wheelchair.
I have heard a lot of negative things about Kaweah Delta Hospital and the staff, and while I am sure that there are some very good doctors and nurses employed here, Whomever was working that day and assessing my daughter--is not one of them. The ER definitely needs more training on critical care and proper patient care.
