I ve had amazing experiences here having given birth to both of my children.
But last Friday 10/19 my mom had a hysterectomy. To begin, in pre-op they literally poked her arms 5-6 times trying to find a vein for an IV. There was literally 5-6 nurses/doctors in her room trying to find a vein. Her arms are all bruised from all the needles.
In post op, all the nurses had NO CLUE what they were doing. They didn t know what pain meds to give her. One girl didn t know what wrist band to scan, she asked is if we knew. They didn t know how take my mother s IV out. She had to go ask someone else to help her.
One doctor tried to sit her up, not even 30 minutes after she had Been brought to her room he wanted her to get up and go to the bathroom, she was still coming out of the anesthesia. He sat her up and HURT her!! My mom yelled and started crying in pain. It was so unnecessary, she didn t need to pee, she hadn t ate or drank anything since 10pm the previous night. she told him she was in pain, and wanted to try to get up later but he still tried to get her up.
The folowing day another young nurse . She helped her get up, and walk around the floor. When she was trying to sit her back down. She just let her fall! Just let her fall back on to the bed. My mom has no strength still to this day she is still recovering and for that girl to just let her fall back was so UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. This was literally the WORst Experience my mom and my family have gone through. She was scared to have surgery to begin with and then have all these nurses do such a poor job to keep her comfortable it s just sad and upsetting!
