My Uncle is in ICU right now. The level of care shown by the nurses and on call doctor is extremely disturbing. We are trying to find a doctor in Tallahassee to accept him so we can move him out of this horrible hospital. I was there this afternoon with him. He has stage 4 cancer, that has spread from his lungs to his neck and elbow. He is in excruciating pain, and scared. My mom called his nurse while I was there this afternoon to discuss his pain management. The nurse, Emily, got angry and stormed in the room. She looked at my uncle, who is in critical condition, and says very rudely, "I do not appreciate someone else calling me to tell me my patient is in pain" I stopped her and told her that she does not need to come in his room and unload on him. She continues going back and forth, being extremely rude the entire time, because she was offended that someone questioned his pain management. She made him so upset, that he said he was scared to ask for anything else. We had her removed from his care, and afterwards we heard her talking and laughing about it right outside his room with another nurse. This behavior was absolutely disgusting. This hospital has no hospitality. You should be ashamed at how you treat your patients who are fighting for their lives.
