Review of SSM St Joseph Health Center

Awful, TERRIBLE experience. I was inpatient 3 days...

Awful, TERRIBLE experience. I was inpatient 3 days before I had ENOUGH and AMA d myself. Keep in mind I am pregnant and my OB is from Mercy I was supposed to have been transferred to Mercy from Saint Joseph but Saint Joseph never attempted to do the transfer nor did they ever even call my OB to let her know I was even there like they were supposed to . I Discharged against medical advice and I will never go bk to this hospital EVER AGAIN. Im pregnant with gallbladder problems and my gallbladder needs to come out. This is a procedure when you only have a small window of time to do it while pregnant. The only thing they kept doing was beating around the bush, doping me full of morphine for the pain and waiting. In my opinion the surgeons arent competent or knowledgeable enough to do surgery on a pregnant woman and their scared. I know I should ve went to Mercy for their drs level of experience to begin with and I knew it. The nurses are terrible. They let your machine go hours beeping when your iv runs out even after you tell them. I was on a small floor with not many patients and had to wait hours. They don t use a pic line so I had to be stuck over 10 times to draw blood, like being impatient WHAT HOSPITAL DOES THAT?? Not MERCY. I had to ivs bc the Er nurse accidently ripped my other one out. Ob unit you d think they never did a fetal heartbeat test before because they were killing me every 8 hrs stabbing me with the Doppler on a 14 wm old fetus for a heartbeat that I wanted to cry because they didn t know what they were doing. I HAD IT i hate this hospital AWFUL DONT GO THERE
