Think twice about giving birth at this hospital, especially when early labour starts in the early morning you'll end up having nurses and doctors transitioning out of their shifts without properly gearing them up with what's developed so far with the patient. Lots of resident/ first time nurses which add to the complexity of all this. They stand in the room unsupervised only to find RNs come back and grill them on their wrongdoings or rolling their eyes at their performance.

Anesthesiologist either missed the upped dosage of epidural so my wife developed a blockade to her neck. This, stress and fatigue led to an emergency c-sec since hypotension and bradycardia arose. My wife was completely unresponsive on the table and the docs couldn't understand why and ran some CSF tests to ensure there wasn't a leak in the system. The icing on top of this was that every doctor was opinionated and never saw eye to eye with a resolution for the patient. Every nightmare you could think about delivery occured as a result. Only few doctors would keep you in the loop as to what was happening, others would talk in secrecy.

This was absolutely a tormenting experience and I would NOT recommend this hospital to others. Granted there were some amazing individuals helping us out along the way, and my son and wife are healthy at the end of it all, but this entire experience was tainted with the chaos and disorganization of this establishment.
