If I can rate this hospital 0 stars I would! I had THE WORSE experience here. On 6/22/2019 I showed up in active labor and was sent to the triage. I was greeted by a rude older lady with blonde hair and glasses (I will be finding her name and reporting her). She accused me multiple times of being on drugs and when my cousin explained to her that I was just in pain and it was my first kid, she stated no, I have patients here all of the time who s been pregnant with their first child and she s acting really out of it as if she s on drugs. I showed up to the hospital 6cm dialated and she took her time with everything and she tried to force me to take a urine test excluding the fact that I was in so much pain that I couldn t even walk.
So by the time I went literally next door to deliver my kid, I had the urge to push while nurses and trainees put IV s in me, tried to draw blood, and forced papers in my face to sign (including a drug test!) At that point, I had to say something through my pain. WHY DO I NEED A DRUG TEST!? I M NOT ON DRUGS! They stated we have to because we don t know you (I didn t receive prenatal care from them, which they asked a million times why I came to this hospital instead of focusing on delivery) and we don t know what you are on.
Anyways continuing on, they realized I was 10cm dialated after saying I m 6cm for the longest because of my need to push. There were two nurses, two trainees, and ONE DOCTOR in the room helping me deliver him. Suddenly, the doctor had to leave the room in the middle of my son s head crowning to attend to another patient who was also in labor. She left me in the room to fend for myself. I was being yelled at from left to right by unproffessionals who didn t know what to do because I kept pushing him, almost delivering him on my own! I had the urge to push and nobody in the room was able to help me. All I kept hearing was STOP! and YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF. Y all are suppose to help me! Finally the doctor came back, and the only thing that was great for me was my son coming out healthy and being in my arms.
I do want to give credit to the ladies in the maternity ward credit for being great to me! They were so nice and sweet and it was a great ending to go home to. Everything else though, I absolutely hated and I should ve picked another hospital to go to.
