ER is ok except that my mom never saw a MD while in the ER and there were no blankets. Once you get a room, get a yellow pad. She was admitted Wed evening around 10 and didn't see a MD until Friday late morning. It took him over 24 hours to see her after he picked up the consultation. He is suppose to see her within the 24 hours of accepting the consult. He hadn't read the notes in her file and knew nothing about her. I didn't know that I could have him taken off her case until he prescribed a 4th antibiotic (for no apparent reason) in 5 days in a family of drugs that I told him the first day that I saw him that she was sensitive. The story does not stop there. The elevators are missing light bulbs, TV in her first room was so dusty, I stood on a chair to clean it. The refrigerator freezer had 3-4" of ice. I defrosted it. I have photos. I think they must advertise overseas as I didn't see many US born nurses or techs there. I do not have a problem with folks getting ahead, but why hire someone with a thick accent who has to communicate to an elderly sick person who has a hard enough time hearing in the first place. On the PT side, the dining room has a TV that is turned up so loud that it is annoying. Why not some music in the morning instead of a blaring TV. And you wonder why the patients can't here you? That is where the doc sometimes makes his rounds. In the dining room.........with the TV blaring. sigh........................
