Review of UHS Wilson Medical Center

Elderly patient was presented to the ed with labor...

Elderly patient was presented to the ed with labored breathing, coughing and congestion. Triage was handled quickly by wonderful nurses who were stretched to thin. Thankfully patient was seen right away. Not only were the patient's symptoms warrenting admittance to the ed, but the waiting room is deplorable so thankfully we didn't have to sit in it for 4 hours. It was FILTHY and smelled like a stale bar room. The doctor was pleasant enough, but did not like I was asking too many questions. At one point told me to be quiet. (I am the care giver and the patient was not being honest about the symptoms.) I had asked for the results from blood tests and even though he had 3 clip boards in his hand he didn't have the answer, telling me the results were normal - when the specific numbers I had ask3ed after hadn't been normal since 1999. The diagnosis was a back pocket, bucket diagnosis of COPD with slight CHF. COPD covers so many things....and CHF is very serious!!! Dr gave 1 breathing treatment and released patient. I immediately sent an email through their website to patient affairs. That was 3 weeks ago. I sent two emails actually. The first one was about the deplorable, disrespectful treatment of the doctor toward the patient and the seriousness of the illness and overall lack of concern. I sent the second email after the patient was admitted to the hospital in another state with CHF (Congestive heart failure) and pneumonia (no blanket diagnosis of COPD). The patient spent 12 days in the hospital because of these careless people and faulty protocols. My first review of this hospital was deleted. Wonder how long this one will last? You deserve better than this hospital.

Above mentioned patient is now admitted to this God forsaken place and even though I have her room number I am transferred 3 times on their phone system and some nurse nicole barks at me over the phone she can't find her. Why? Why? Why? I told you what room she was in.

If you've ever wondered where C medical students end up. I'll tell ya.
Medical students who graduated with C's pretend (not practice) in Binghamton, NY.
