My wife and I have a child that was still born. We were told to come to the hospital at 4:00 a.m. to go through the process of delivery. We waited for nearly 3 hours before being helped. After that, it took 2 hours to get my wife properly hooked up to an IV. By 7:30 p.m. that evening, very little had been done to help us go through the process of delivering. Not all, but most of the staff was not will coordinated and did not communicate with each other well. When my wife asked for an epidural, I was forced to leave the entire labor and delivery area for at least 20 minutes. Despite her wishes to have me there with her present, I was told that hospital policy would not allow it. Absolutely ridiculous! There is no legitimate reason for that. To say that I was angry is an understatement. We have had three other children in separate hospitals and have never been asked to do that before. As long as I'm in Clarksville, I will never come back to this hospital to have my children. And I will tell everyone I know to find another place to go.
