Went in for an out-patient arthroscopic knee procedure and ended back in the hospital a couple of days later with severe pain in my knee & inability to breath. I was admitted with a blood clot in the calf of the leg I had the knee procedure done. I also ended up with numerous pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. During my stay, I had to wait at least 50 minutes for pain medication. This hospital is totally understaffed with nurses. Then, the CNAs I had did NOT have a clue as to what to do for me. I could barely walk and one CNA just stood & looked at me when I asked her to help me to the bathroom. I HAD TO ASK HER TO GIVE ME MY CRUTCHES. SHE WALKED BEHIND ME WITH MY IV POLE & LEFT ME AT THE BATHROOM DOOR. SHE DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO ASSIST ME OR ASK ME IF I NEEDED HELP. WHEN I ASKED ANOTHER CNA FOR A BAG OF FRESH ICE TO PUT ON MY LEG, SHE TOOK IT, THEN JUST HANDED TO ME INSTEAD OF ASKING ME IF I NEEDED HELP PLACING IT. NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO TO THIS HOSPITAL.
