My mother was admitted with a cough, weakness and extreme loss of weight after a fall. First, they tried several steroids and antibiotics, without bloodwork, to determine what was causing the symptoms. They proceeded to try 4 different antibiotics, give her insulin despite the fact that SHE WAS NOT DIABETIC. They lost results TWICE for a strep screening and never did a third one. They tried to get the family to agree to a feeding tube but brought in no specialist until we demanded an infectious disease specialist be consulted. They then moved her room to the 5th floor next to a FLU PATIENT . The social worker suggested my mother change her POA to a daughter that was a nurse although she knew little of my mother s medical history since not being around her much in thirty years rather than deal with the well educated daughter that knew her mother s medical history well. They discharged my mother, transferred her to a nursing facility where she passed away. THIS HOSPITAL KILLS PEOPLE WITH INCOMPETENCE! The lack of communication between doctors, nurses and family was appalling. The left hand knew nothing of the doings of the right hand. STAY AWAY FROM BEEBE IF YOU LOVE THE PATIENT.
