This is the worst hospital I've ever been to. My family has been here numerous times due to it being the closest to our home. The staff is unbelievably inept, nobody has any information when you ask about discharge, they give you the run around and eventually ask for your number so someone can get back to you hours later. The nurse that started treatment never told us that the shift was changing and the new nurse never even knew my mother had an IN in her arm until they she was being transferred. Asked how the results of blood work and x rays were and was told the doctor would speak with me about it, however not once did a doctor come in. If you have to bring your loved ones here I'd warn you to think twice about it and try to find somewhere that has a caring staff. I contacted the operator to get visiting hours And was told that visiting ends at 7 pm and that I could see my mom, however when I arrived they said there were no visiting hours for the day, and that there was no number that I could contact my mother. I then asked how I could discharge her so I could bring her to a better facility and got the run around and was told I had to speak to the nurses station. After speaking with the nurses station I was still given no information about my mother's condition or how she was doing and was asked to leave my number so someone could get back to me. 2 hours later I received a call from the doctor who said nothing in regards to how I could take her to another facility but instead said I prescribed her medication and will see how it affects her and then maybe discharge her in 2 days. The only upside was I was given permission to be able to speak with her. This hospital is an absolute nightmare and I could tell you more horror stories, but the moral of it all is never ever ever go here unless it's the only available option, and even then you'd probably be better asking some random person on the streets to assist you then coming in here.
