Review of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCar...

I recently moved to Tallahassee from Washington DC...

I recently moved to Tallahassee from Washington DC. Do to the fact that I have an autoimmune disease (lupus) and other serious health issues I have had to visit this hospital multiple times in the last 3months. One visit I was in extreme pain, pressure high ,flair up and was sent home with nothing. They pretty much said take some Motrin and go to sleep. Another visit I sprained my ankle couldn't walk and I had to ask for crutches after falling nearly hitting the floor. during the next visit i was left in a room for a very long time . No one checked on me for over an hour I couldn't get up and there was no call button. Then I go in for a tooth ache and they prescribed a narcotic but when I was in actually in pain during a flair up nothing. Not even for swelling or muscle spasms. some of the staff are friendly but others are not and will talk to you any type of way. I met one np I really liked who gave me a few stiches. They never let my family in the back unless they come in with me at the time Im called.Once my wife wanted to come back when I was transportated to the Er via ambulance and they refused to let her back. They even let her write a note and they bought it to me but would not let her back .In the Er ago week ago I went in for vomiting and nausea, chest pain, coughing, painpall over and flu symptoms basically. I was told it wasn't the flu and it would pass. I was given nausea meds and sent home . No chest x-ray .No other tests and only diagnosed with nausea. Today I went for the same symptoms.yet again another confusing visit. I was placed in an area with a bunch of people didn't know what I was waiting for because no one tells you anything just to follow them. I was ignored by the tech and after I told the doctor I could not take the prescription he prescribed he refused to change it. No one should feel like they rather suffer than go to the hospital and sit for hours to leave feeling worse. That's what TMH makes people feel like .Staff range from Disrespectful staff with horrible bedside manner to polite and caring so you never know what you will get. Good luck
