I can t explain how disappointed I am with this hospital and the care my father experienced after a stroke. My father is a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic and was not treated as such. It took 48 hrs to get his blood sugar levels to an acceptable level after removing his insulin pump which should not have been removed in the first place. He was only seen by an endocrinologist after we had to specifically request it due to having a diabetic reaction in the hospitals care. During the reaction our concerns were dismissed and we were told it was just anxiety even though we have 30 years of experience with this type of situation and can spot the onset a mile away. Needless to say it was not anxiety . I can not speak as to the knowledge or abilities of the doctor staff as I do not have a previous frame of reference but rounds were typically conducted during non visiting hours and when trying to get information from the nursing staff we were consistently told you will have to talk to the doctors . The doctors seemed knowledgeable and courteous and were also extremely frustrated by the actions of the nursing staff. We had multiple incidents with disorientation and agitation in the care of the nursing staff resulting in sedation and restraints all of which could have prevented if they would have allowed a family member to stay overnight. I could go on at length as to the incompetence of the staff but ultimately I will sum this experience by urging anyone who in in need of care or has a family member in need of care to please search for an alternative facility that can provide the adequate care that people deserve in these situations. We ultimately had to make the decision to transfer to a different hospital to get the care we needed. We will be following up with the hospital to help prevent this experience from repeating itself with another patient in the future.
