1 /5 BOTB Gaming and More!: I arrived with my spouse around 2 PM, and its now 10 PM with no answers. I called the ER staff using the proper phone number. When I asked Nurse Curtis (or Kurt) about my spouses status, he simply said, "I dont know," followed by a long pause before ending the call. I dont know what kind of hospital, medical staff, or company Bassett is, but as a hospital, I highly recommend going elsewhere unless you dont value your time, medical, or mental health. This hospital and most of the staff are grossly understaffed. The nurses walk around complaining and speaking disparagingly while youre in their care, hoping you get that one decent nurse.
After a CAT scan was performed, we waited over two more hours for results, only to be told they found nothing. However, the portal we are linked to showed another finding. It was small and maybe not related to last nights situation, but it could be. They did not mention this finding to my spouse. I brought it up in front of both the nurse and the doctor, and they both said they saw the finding but didnt "feel" it was responsible. They also told us it wouldnt be worth our time to go to Albany Med because they might not find or do anything different.
All this happens while the seasoned nurses, who have devoted their lives to the cause, are overworked and understaffed. Theyve hired on-call nurses who seem to care only about a paycheck. I heard disparaging remarks from the staff last night about the poor state of the company and business conditions. Meanwhile, my spouse was vomiting violently and pleading for help.
As my young son stated, "I felt like they were detaining us to make it look like theyre working, and to bill for medical work" This is only an almost 11 year old. The Dr tried to justify the hospital by stating they bring all their family to Bassett. Im sure they do since they work and practically live in the facilities and can watch with a close needle like precision the status of their family. But that appears to be where the "CARE" ends, if you are NOT family of Bassett in at least Cobleskill, dont bother acting like you matter their. They just need to bill the insurance companies and keep getting donations and handouts from "Anonymous" donators.
