Review of Southwestern Vermont Health Ca...

I have never in my life experienced such horrific ...

I have never in my life experienced such horrific healthcare. The emergency room is a waiting room for auditions for a circus act. First, not ever have I witnessed a single person from the staff wash their hands. The staff does not listen to the patients, I guess they feel they know everything. Which gets me to the next complaint, lack of privacy. The staff not only ignored my concerns they ignored the people around me as well. Dismissing their concerns. I'm pretty sure I'm not suppose to hear the complete history and complaints of another pt.. I know what medications other people are on, their address and whatever else there is to know. There was one poor pt complaining about a headache. Well apparently she has been in a few times before and without revealing why she had a headache they pretty much said you had those test last month why are you even here. Drs words not mine. Taking into consideration her primary diagnosis I'm pretty sure she needed a other round of test. Well if you're reading this and you want the world to know your problems this will be the place to be. HiPPA. Will just love this place. I felt like I was in high school. The staff along with ambulance staff were literally bad talking another pt and I believe their child was there listening to it all. I sure hope that was reported. How dare you say anything about about a patient you cared for, no matter what you think. You people are disgusting. If I had a chance I would file a complaint myself, but I dont know the parents and it's none of my business. Another woman lie there I am assuming for a long time. She was elderly and asked how much longer. The nurse I guess said that a bus pulled up and they took priority. The woman said how are they any more important then I. She replied well there is an emergency.and all of the staff is required to care for her. That was an outright lie. There was more staff in the middle of the er talking and laughing having a great ole time. There were empty rooms. I will never return to that hospital and if I accidentally get bought there I will demand be transferred another hospital my family knows this as well. I wouldnt feel comfortable bringing my pets there. It's a Mockery of the healthcare system. I've been to under developed countries that have better healthcare. The excuse is always the same, it's a country hospital it's hard to get good staff. Well first you just admitted to how horrible the care is and second other providers in other places say it's a joke avoid if possible. Who's the administrator? Oh dont complain that the er is to small, you have so much waisted space, I think it's about time for a remodel. Awful just awful!
