This is the 4th time since November 29, 2017 I have been at Forrest General as a patient. I have spent over 6 weeks in this hospital. For the most part I can only say good things about the doctors, nurses, techs, etc. However, there are a few nurses that leave a lot to be desired. They have horrible attitudes, they get angry if you ask them for anything and don't dare ask then for something for pain because they are going to let you know right away that they think you are a drug addict for even asking. My vascular surgeon had to get onto one of the nurses when I was here in January because he saw her response to me asking for pain meds. I had a bypass that time, in November I had two fasciotomies and this time I have had a leg amputation. So it's not like I came in for a hang nail and begging for drugs. Overall though, the doctors are courteous, most of the nurses are compassionate and the rest pf the crew is capable.
