Vendi Cru Review of Athens Regional Medical Center

The integrity of this hospital has decreased tremendously. My dad has COPD and is at his final stage but he still has life in him. My family & I felt like we were harassed by Dr. Samina Aftab Choudhry from palliative care & Resident Dr. Krystal Alexander with the constant need for a decision to place him in hospice. Day one Monday he was alert and Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday he declined drastically, I asked several times for them to give him fluids because he hadn't eaten or drunk anything in almost 3 days, Thursday night I DEMANDED he recieve fluids, the next day Friday he was back talking, more alert and in way better condition. I am not in denial, I am aware he is in his final stage however it is very upsetting to be in a vulnerable situation and have people suggest multiple times a day to send him to hospice. Please note in no way am I saying that they should be spreading false hope, however empathy, patience, & understanding would be appreciated. I know of 2 other families with this same complaint from Piedmont Athens Regional.
