Worst. Experience. Ever. My wife arrived at 9 am....

Worst. Experience. Ever. My wife arrived at 9 am. It took almost 12 hours to get a room. By 9 am THE FOLLOWING DAY she still had nothing to eat. When I called to ask what was up, I was told they left a menu in her room. And...? And nothing. They left a menu with no instructions on what she was supposed to do. The nursing staff was snippy. The doctor said that the bloating in her abdomen was caused by headaches (???!!!). Nothing worked - electric doors wouldn't open. The computer in her room didn't work. The attending were giving her medication without any explanation (or explanations that didn't make sense - such as giving her blood thinners because they said, and I quote... "We have to give you something."
All kinds of equipment was always making beeping noises so that it was a cacophony of error sounds that no one was paying attention to.
The icing on the cake? I finally had enough and transferred her to CMC Pineville. That morning, Piedmont had given her sedatives and blood thinners - she was barely awake, much less mobile. But since I decided to transfer her out, THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE A FREAKING WHEELCHAIR TO HELP HER TO THE DOOR. I literally had to carry her out, from the 4th floor, with the help of her brother. Never again will I set foot in this hospital unless it is truly an emergency - and I will transfer out as soon as possible.
