I had a 3 night 4 day stay in Tel Hashomer. I am an American Citizen and the way I was treated and the bedside manners of the Drs and the nurses were horrible. I was getting infusion and the machine was beeping so loud ,it was disturbing the other roommates . Mind you we were overcrowded 3 too room. horrible conditions. The nurses didn't check my sugar for Diabetes I had 3 low episodes. as well as my older roommate who was there for a month couldn't move on her own was in pain wasn't able to reach the call button and had low episodes of Diabetes sugar.

Need better communication system.
MUST NOT ALLOW ANYONE AND THAT INCLUDES THE NURSES TO NOT SMOKE ON THE FLOOR IN THE GARDEN. DISGUSTING NASTY HABIT AND ADDICTION THEN THEY COME IN THE ROOM WHERE PATIENTS HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING.

ONE SHORT TERM ROOMMATE HER HUSBAND DAUGHTER AND SON OR SONINLAW NOT SURE CAME BACK FROMSMOKING OUTSIDE ON GARDEN PATIO WHICH BTW IS A FINE OF 1100 NIS. NEED STO BE REENFORCED. NO SMOKING AT ALL NEAR DOORS OR ENTRANCES OF HOSPITALS . IF SOMEONE MUST SMOKE LET THEM SMOKE IN THIER CAR OR HOMES WITH WINDOWS ROLLED UP

I ASKED THE DRS AND RESIDENTS TO SPEAK IN ENGLISH SINCE I AM AN AMERICAN . ALTHOUGH I SPEAK HEBREW ITS NOT FLUENT. THEY DIDNT CARE.
ROOM CONDITION DISGUSTING. MOLD IN BATHROOM, LACK OF LIGHTING . I WAS PLACED IN SHIKUM MEVUGAR. I AM NOT A MEVUGAR BY FAR . HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
I WAS SUPPOSE TO TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES BUT BECAUSE OF LACK OF COMMUNICATION . I HAD TO CANCEL MY FLIGHT. THEY TOLD ME I WAS MEDICALLY CLEARED TO FLY WHEN I CLEARLY WASNT READY TO FLY 12 HOUROS TO CANADA AND ANOTHER HOUR TO UNITED STATES. I ENDED UP GOING TO A PRIVATE DR AFTER BEING RELEASED THEN 3 MORE TEREM VISITS AND A VISIT TO ER AT SHARREY TZEDEK IN ERUSALEM.
I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SHARREY TZEDEK IN JERUSAELM FROM DAY ONE NOT HAVE BOTHERED WITH TEL HASHER. VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE.
FYI THE FOOD IS LADEN WITH SALT. & OIL NOT HEALTHY FOR ANYONE WHO IS ILL.

I REALEZIE THIS IS A TEACHING HOSPITAL BUT DRS, NURSES AND MEDICAL ASSITANTS NEED BETTER TRAINING IN BEDSIDE MANNERS.

I HAVE MORE THEN ENOUGH MEDICAL SKILLS FROM FATHER Z'L WHO WAS A GENERAL PRACTICE PHYSICIAN IN THE UNITED STATES FOR OVER 40 PLUS YEARS HE NEVER EVER TREATED HIS WELFARE PATIENTS THE WAY I WAS MISTREATED. I WORKED IN HIS OFFICE FOR 6 YEARS AS WELL AS CARING FOR MY PARENTS UNTIL THE PASSED AWAY ALONE.
EVERYONE NEEDS AN ADVOCATE WHEN THEY COME TO HOSPITAL .. NOT BE ALONE LIKE I WAS.
THEY SURE QUICK TO CHARGE A LARGE SUM OF MONEY WITHOUT COMMUNICATING THEY ARE DOING IT OR GIVING A BILL OR WAY TO GET MY MEDICAL RECORDS.
SHIKUM MEVUGAR NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED AND REBUILD FROM BOTTOM UP . BRIGHTER LIGHTS , NO MOLD, DUST FREE MOLD FRE. PRESSURE FROM THE SINKS AND SHOWERS
