WORST hospital I ve ever been to. In 2009 they sent me home with broke vertebrae & broken jaw that my general dentist found 2 weeks later AFTER my teeth kept feeling like they were falling out.....then life long problems with my back found 2-3 years later now have degenerative disk.

This weekend my dad was life flighted to Vanderbilt due to car accident. I will say he has no health insurance...so I didn t expect too much but a little concern would have been nice. He arrived at Vanderbilt around 11:00. He was lifeflighted due to head injury, pain in hips, and in back. He didn t get CT scan until 4:30 A.M was laying in the room grunting with pain and did not receive any pain Medicine not even Tylenol. . . Around 6:30 they come in and said he had 3 broken vertebrae. Upper and lower broken jaws, still no medication for the pain. Finally at 8:00 I asked the nurse and DR if they were laying in the bed with broken bones flat on their back WOULD THEY WANT TO LAY THERE WITHOUT ANY PAIN MEDICINE. They brought pain medicine 1 hour later then moved him to trauma unit. They let him leave Saturday at 4:00 with no surgery, no back brace, nothing for his broken bones jaw or back. Whenever I broke my jaws in 2009 they had to have plates & wires shut and my break was not near as bad as his. He complained with chest pain the whole time also, no EKG or anything just let it all go. Also, no MRI of the brain and was sent for concussion & head trauma. Then released within 15 hours.

Needless to say, he s still at home in tons of pain can t move hardly out of bed. We will never be back again and if I had the option he wouldn t have went there in the first place. This place is a JOKE. Do not go, especially if you don t have insurance because they will not take care of you!!! There is suppose to be no difference whether you have insurance or not but I promise you there is.
