I have been here several times before. Each time trying to give them another opportunity to be better than the last. Unfortunately nothing has changed. I don't know how they chose their people they will hire. But the staff is horrible, very few in between to you have the one or two that care. My dad was sent their by ambulance for what we thought was a stroke, he litwraky sat in the middle of the ER on a stretcher crying and going in and out. BP was sky high, after finally being seen and test, turns out he did have a stroke but the window to reverse had passed. Due to that his brain was swealing and had to have emergency surgery to remove pressure. Before that they transferred him to Clear Lake medical center. My mom was seen their, could barely walk on her leg it was swollen, red, and painful. She was there for a week and didnt get a direct answer as to what happened, she was sent home w meds. Now the final straw, my father in law was taken their for high fever and passed out, he was admitted. From the time he was admitted to Saturday afternoon somewhere his money from inside his wallet inside his patient bag was taken. They left credit cards but took all the cash. I am making a phone call to try and get something liked into, but based on reviews I don't believe that will help. When we arrived, he had just been transferred to the IMCU due to his breathing. Well we arrived and he was uncovered, you can see everything and his door was open. He said he was thirsty, he was wet, he had been their for at least an hour before we arrived because we spoke to the previous nurse from the previous floor before heading their. I called a tech cus he was thirsty, he said I have to ask the nurse, she finally arrived and I had to get her to fill us in on everything. No one had been able to stay overnight w my father in law since Thursday night so we left phone numbers but yet never received a call. I asked all questions, I asked her is he being monitored? How? How often will someone try to come in and change him cus he's wet? I'm concerned w bed sores if you leave him wet for a long time. FINALLY the tech arrived to clean him up and he had a bad attitude, throwing all the stuff he was going to use on the small table, acted as if we had bothered him for asking to change my soiled father in law. After speaking w head nurse about my concerns we sat back in room. His nurse came in and acted to be looking into his heart monitor she tried sliding in 2 batteries without us catching it. She previously said he was being monitored closely because he has a severe case of congenitive heart failure, but his heart monitor had no batteries. I asked how long he had been like that, she tried playing bit off. Oh yes it still works we just had to replace batteries we just took them out a couple minutes ago. I told her, no you didn't because we've been here this whole time. No one had come to see him at all since we arrived until I requested you. I immediately put in an order to have him transferred out of that lousy hospital. The care is horrible. They try to lue to us but negative. If anyone is paying attention its me. So don't pull that w me. I'm so disgusted w the services, the staff and the lack of wanted to change it. I'm surprised this hospital has remained open. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Now about his money that was stolen from inside his wallet, I know we will not get back but I want to know who took it. We trust the staff w our families and then they steal. Its gross. He was laying their and someone took it upon himself to steal from him. I'm disappointed to say the very least. Never will I give this hospital another opportunity. I've given them way too many. When there is a petition to shut this hospital down, I'm with it. Count me in.
