Review of Dallas Regional Medical Center

This hospital needs government attention.

This hospital needs government attention.
1. 6:30pm ER air conditioning not working. Lack of communication between stuff. Staff lacked reading patient logs or not even reading them. Ex. No body knew if I was able to eat or until when, I asked one of the nurses and said I m not suppose to eat .
2. 9:30pm I was moved to second floor without eating anything supposedly for a test they needed to do.
10:00pm I asked the nurse she didn t know she said. I said can you find out ? She came back around 10:15pm she said you can eat but after midnight you can t. The nurse brought a ham sandwich with ice in the middle of it. I did not eat it all and reported to the nurse and she said that was all the had .
3. 10:30 pm hot in room went to the restroom to find out it was all dirty. There was a rusted chair in the bathtub floor look like they didn t mop good.
4. Next day Sunday around 6:30 am blood work was done.
5. 7:30 am, I asked can I eat now? Nurses didn t know. One of the nurses said she did not know all she knew was that the cafeteria was short of personnel and they were running about one hour late .
6. 8:30 am I asked another nurse I m hungry can I eat? She said she didn t know.
7. 9:00am called the nurse, the nurse came back and she said I cannot eat until they see drs authorization.
8. 10:30am Dr said all the results from my test are normal. All I needed was a stress test. Guess what? The stress test can only be made on weekdays. Dr said I needed to stay in the hospital until Monday .
9. 11:30 am, I m hungry I asked the nurse again, am I going to be able to eat lunch? She said not sure she ll find out
10. 12:30pm. I m starving I called the nurse and said I m so hungry, the nurse said she doesn t have the Dr s authorization. I said can you call the dr, she said she will find out. I went to sleep.
11. 2:30 pm woke up starving and called the nurse and demanded an answer right away because I cannot handle it
12. 3:00am the nurse said she didn t understand why I m fasting there is no need for that anymore .
13. 3:30m finally they brought lunch to my room
14. 5:00pm they brought dinner to my room
15. 8:30 am Monday, Dr said everything is good I should be able to go home by 12 after the stress test.
16. 1:00pm NO stress test yet, nurses removed IV from arm. My wife is ready at the hospital to pick me up.
17. 2:00 pm called the nurse to ask what is going on ? Of course they didn t know what the heck !
By the way no body clean the room, restrooms , no new blankets
18. 2:30 pm, people from stress test department showed up to my room. They couldn t take me to do the test because I didn t have an IV on my arm .
19. 2:45pm got an IV in and went to do the stress test.
20. 3:45pm back in my room. Room still dirty, cleaning staff did not do a good job cleaning, no new blankets and room is hot.
21. 4:15pm nurse removed IV and said they would be working on discharge paperwork.
22. 5:00pm still no paper work. I asked again
23. 5:45pm still not paper work
24. 6:00pm I asked again they said they are not ready yet. My wife missed a day at work that evening waiting form me to be discharged .
I walked away.
Communication between nurses themselves and drs are the Worst. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this hospital.
