Review of Grande ronde hospital

Horrible treatment to my husband who was septic......

Horrible treatment to my husband who was septic...admitting personal. Thankfully, the ambulance from Milton-freewater had us meet them up top Tolgate at the chalet and took him to Walla Walla (St Mary's)! He was hospitalized for 9 days and discharged to home and continued receiving IV antibiotics for another 8 days. Thankful for having lifesaving options! Thankful, for Milton-Freewaters paramedics, and for their ambulance to meet me at Tolgate and take him from there to Walla Walla!!! When admitting was rude, horrible and didn't want him throwing up on the carpet and wouldn't take him immediately back while I would stay out and give info? Or get him back to start treatment & then come back into room and get info from me! Horrible. But when you have controlling people who aren't thinking about those moments that are critical life saving moments....and they absolutely don't care....because if they did he'd been taken back asap...its called Triage...its for the PATIENT not for their ego/being in control. This is how this hospital has been for years and it's gotten steadily worse. Hence, the 2.9 review! Wow, now thats good Hometown care to be proud of. Many ppl are afraid to tell the truth about horrible care they've received....retaliation is what they fear. And can't blame them..happens. Happened to us. Btw my husband has passed, but I thank GOD he didn't die in our sad hospital. And I thank God we have other literally life saving options that saved my husband's life. I'm so grateful,but sad our hospital is more about control, then assisting loved one's trying to save their family members life. Thank you St Mary's and the Milton-Freewater fire dept ambulance crew! My husband lived another year & got his liver transplant because of you! Not GRH.
