Review of Cartersville Medical Center

I spent 6 lonely God forsaken days there. Overall...

I spent 6 lonely God forsaken days there. Overall, it seemed no-one cared. Everyone is overworked and communication is non-existent. From the nurses to the doctors (hospitalist) to each other and to me there was no communication. I did have a few nurses (3) out of the 10 or 12 that were there to "help" me that genuinely cared. The rest of them made me feel like I was bothering them at best. It was not unusual to wait 30 to 45 minutes for a nurse to come to my room after buzzing them for my pain medication. There were multiple times when no one responded at all. I got to see the doctor (hospitalist) once per day and on good days he actually spent about 3 minutes with me. I could not understand him (lack of english) and he was not interested in answering questions. If it were not for the pain medication (always late in responding) I would have been better off at home alone. I will NEVER go there again.
