Review of Pikeville Medical Center

I was taken with a lot of concern to this hospital...

I was taken with a lot of concern to this hospital where I had a horrific experience in ER. Due to Hoghlands scab showing s brain bleed they took me to closest trauma unit. Trauma was excellent. Dr said I would be seen as soon as on floor but did not happen. 20 hrs past I had no BP meds and nothing to relieve pain from fall! I was on 7th floor. Ask if I could have sheet& blanket. My body was hooked to monitors and ic. Nurse brought in and dropped folded at bottom of my bed.?i ask for a ice pack for my eye I had hit when fell. Ask for ice water or chips for swollen mouth. Hour later water but ice pack not brought until nurses change! So dr changed shifts told see by 8. Then that dr was sent to icu. Again no doctor! BP high , can tell by racing heart rate. Ask my husband to get me out before they gave me a stroke! Worse experience ever!
