Review of MidState Medical Center

This place is terrible. Had to take my grandmothe...

This place is terrible. Had to take my grandmother into the ER after she fell in the bathroom. Arrived at roughly 9AM. Wish I took her anywhere else. It took them until 6:30PM to xray 3 areas of her body and find any injuries. In that time, she peed the bed twice because nobody was paying attention, despite being told she had to use the bathroom multiple times. In the 9.5 hours that I stayed there for, she was not once given any food or water. The thing that got me downright angry was when the PA in charge of her care was going to discharge her without xraying her right wrist, because it was the only thing that she was actually complaining about and the only thing on her body that was actually swollen, but i guess taking a look at the most obvious injury on her body was too difficult for her PA to comprehend. So, I have to give this guy big balls about that, and he finally has it xrayed. She has a small fracture in her wrist, but because we don t know that for 9.5 hours, there are now no longer and Physical Therapists to evaluate her wrist on duty, so she has to stay overnight for a hairline fracture in the wrist after being in the ER for 9.5 hours. This PA started giving me a lot of attitude, as if his incompetence was my fault. I also mentioned to 4 different people, including the PA, that she has food consistency restrictions due to dysphagia. But, judging by how her day went, I half expect to find out my grandmother choked when they tried to feed her a whole piece of chicken.
