Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Reviews of the hospital experience vary significantly among patients and their families. Some have praised the care and professionalism of the staff, particularly highlighting positive experiences in labor and delivery, as well as successful surgeries and attentive treatment for serious conditions like blood clots and COVID pneumonia. The cafeteria food and the overall treatment by nurses and doctors in certain departments have been commended.
However, there are numerous accounts of dissatisfaction and concern. Several reviewers have reported extremely long wait times in the emergency room, with some leaving without being seen by a doctor. Complaints include a lack of communication and perceived indifference from the staff, particularly in emergency situations and critical care. Instances of unprofessional behavior, such as rudeness from the front desk and housekeeping concerns, have been mentioned. There are also serious allegations regarding patient care and safety, including a report of a patient being discharged while in distress, leading to a fatal outcome.
Specific criticisms include the handling of a diabetic patient's blood sugar levels during labor, the use of non-dissolvable stitches leading to infection, and the overall cleanliness of the facility, with one report of cockroaches in a postpartum room. The emergency department's management of patients with severe pain or conditions requiring immediate attention has been particularly criticized, with stories of patients being left in waiting rooms for extended periods.
While some reviews reflect exceptional care and positive medical outcomes, a significant number of negative experiences highlight areas of concern, particularly in emergency care, patient communication, and facility cleanliness. These mixed reviews suggest a disparity in patient experiences that potential visitors may want to consider.
