My son just celebrated his 1 year birthday. He was born at Methodist Mansfield in March 2015. The labor and delivery side was fantastic but once my wife and baby were wheeled to the recovery side the experience went straight downhill. First, the only lights were emergency lights. We were told it was because of the construction being done at the time. The toilet in the room didn't flush either. Any idea what that's like for a woman recovering from giving birth? Again we were told it was due to construction. My wife's nurse was terrible. First thing see did was to go over the rules then proceeded to state in front of our family that although there were certain "quiet times" during the day if people showed up they wouldn't be asked to leave. Really??!! We were looking forward to those quiet times especially my recovering wife. Then there is their baby ID security check system which 90% of the time no one did correctly. Unfortunately on the day we were supposed to check out, a half hour before leaving the pediatrician suggested mom and baby stay one more night due to a small medical concern. Ok. Better safe than sorry. No sooner had the doctor left the room the sink next to the bed had a major backup. Sewage was actually overflowing onto the floor. I had to get the nurse who ushered myself, wife and baby into another room. Finally, the nurse that came in soon after to check on my wife decided to play a game of semantics when my wife requested a water bottle so she could clean our baby's circumcision area. Well, actually first she said "it wasn't necessary" then when we told her that it was what the doctor wanted and so that's what we want she tried to play it off like a language barrier (she didn't speak English very well).
We brought it to the charge nurses attention and she politely apologized for everything we had been through. She told us that "higher ups" we're made aware of our situation and all we had been through and that they would be down to visit us the following morning to discuss some type of rectification. Well, the next morning came and no one showed up.
Except for the birth of our beautiful son this was Not a good experience.
