1 /5 Lillian Richards: As I write this review Im sitting here in the hospital. Ive been waiting to be discharged since 10am and now its 8:47pm. I havent had a good meal in a week. Terrible horrible conditions

1 /5 calicia worrell: This is by far the worst hospital ever. I gave birth to my daughter 7 months ago here & Im still traumatized. I spoke to the head of departments while I was there & I feel like I was not properly compensated for being robbed of what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Firstly, the hospital is outdated and very dirty & there is lack of communication amongst ALL of the departments. This was my first delivery experience and I had preeclampsia. As soon as I checked in they placed me on Magnesium & decided to induce & there was no communication with me regarding the side affects that the mag would have on MY BODY. Fast forward to them administering the epidural, I got that needle a total of 5 times in my back and I remember crying the 4th time and begging them to stop because of the discomfort... Eventually they changed shifts and I received the epidural properly on the 5th try. After my delivery I received several stitches because I was bleeding out internally which resulted in me needing TWO blood transfusions. I remember me screaming and telling the doctors that I felt every single thing while they stitched me together & they replied "If you dont relax this will have to be done in an operating room" ... I was left with bloody unflushed IVs in my arm for days. There was blood under my bed the day I was discharged from when I gave birth to my daughter 4 days prior & no one came into clean the room or bathroom. My daughter was in the NICU because she was pre term and not once did any of the doctors from the maternal department or the NICU come to update me on my daughter while I was on bedrest for 24 hrs after delivery due to me still being on magnesium. A few days after delivery the NICU even called my house looking for me regarding my daughter while I was still a patient at the hospital. My 80 year old grandmother answered the phone and immediately started to panick thinking that something had happened to me because I was still in the hospital as well. There is absolutely no communication between departments. I was asked if I wanted to be discharged and I agreed just for the doctor to come back a few minutes later and tell me that I could not be discharged. There were so many students I began to feel like a lab rat and decided to leave on my own. There was so much more wrong done & someone will pay!

1 /5 Khadijah Brown: If I could give 0 stars I would! Desolate, demoralizing, terrible, no direction, no order, disappointing, no communication with patients, lack of communication amongst the staff, bad food, late handling out medication, everyone doing less as possible, no accountability, need I say more. If so I’m here all week!

1 /5 Shu Shu: Don’t go there love yourself enough to find better care. Now that I know better I will do better. And suite G careful with them get another opinion I’ll always say!
