Review of Chippenham Johnston Willis Med...

If I could give zero stars, I would.

If I could give zero stars, I would.

I was transported to this hospital via ambulance for a possible stroke. After several hours in the er, the nurse started to wheel me away and I asked where I was going. His answer? You re being admitted. No consult with a Dr or anything.

After 36 hours in their care, and after a CT scan, MRI, echocardiogram and several blood tests, the neurologist spent a maximum of 2 minutes with me- and explained nothing. The nursing staff was abhorrent. Being that I was experiencing paralysis on my right side, I was unable to use the bathroom and instead had a pure wick. It was never emptied and I sat wet for over 6 hours still waiting to be seen by a doctor.

My husband called the hospital administration. The CEO of nursing came to my room and finally got things under control. After this debacle, I asked to be transferred to St. Mary s. The care there was at a minimum 10 stars.
