I have to say as being a nurse myself what I have seen and witnessed at Grady Hospital is the worst I've ever seen. I informed my family if something ever happened to me that our local hospital couldn't care for me for them to take me to Piedmont Atlanta the care given from the majority of the nurses at Grady hospital is absolutely the worst I have ever seen it is worse than the care that you receive at a Skilled Nursing Facility. So if you have a stroke where you are unable to speak have delirium or confusion don't go to Grady because your loved one will be left with poor care or even death!!! When you ask for a charge nurse you won't get that you'll get another nurse that is covering other rooms to come and say may I help you, you get no where they leave things unattended. While my father has been there I have brought to their attn. 7 major things as in fluid overload, stage 1 pressure area, tachycardia, desaturation of oxygen, sleep apnea, urine retention in his bladder to the point of severe pain and then 4 days later dehydration!! Since my father had a massive stroke and can't talk so thank goodness I was there everyday and brought all of this to their attention as I was seeing it happen, so this is enough to let you know that the nurses definitely don't do their job!! Every single one of these that I brought to a nurse's attention and even the residence doctor they were assessed and found to be true this is very sad that me being the daughter having to do their job for them. If it wasn't for me being a nurse and knowing what I know he would have died from the dehydration since he was so symptomatic with EXTREMELY low blood pressure and completely lethargic.
