I love the Dr's here but have do NOT like the hospital staff. I had a very bad experience when one of my major organs was cut on accident during surgery about 2 or 3 years ago, sent home with no knowledge of internal bleeding! Yikes! Nursing staff in hospital I believe were to blame...very rude, non attentive, over staffed, did not listen to patient concerns and pain levels. One year later I end up back there, different Dr, different surgery...another mistake! This time huge blood clot across abdomen, nursing staff didn't notice until I was being released to go home and passed out on floor...turned out, needed 2 blood transfusions! Again, nursing staff not listening to patients concerns and needs...nurses too interested in moving patients out quickly instead of making sure that they are stable! Don't let a patients age fool you! Just because someone is young...that does NOT mean that they are healthy! If a patient is telling you that they have a certain health issue, do not assume that they do not know what they are talking about just because they are younger then the average person with that particular health issue! When a patient tells a nursing staff about their own health issues or that something is wrong it's because they as a patient are familiar with and know their own body enough to know when something is not right...this is because they have experienced "health issues" before! Please listen to your patients! I almost lost my life twice at this hospital due to simple mistakes that were overlooked by people that were in too big of a hurry! Staff members trying to quickly move on to the next, treating me like I was just another number...thank God, if I hadn't had my mom with me both times to get the nurses attention, I'd be dead! The hospital needs new nursing staff!
