All the way around disgusted with the staff and treatment I went there Mid night of July 31st 2015 arrive at 1:11 The big organged haired lady was very rude. I went there because I had got into a car accident and my left shoulder and chest were bothering me. I sat in there in a extermely dirty waiting room for 3 hours when i did finally reach the back the drs were complete idiots they acted as it was nothing to be concered about they did do an x ray and gave me a pregnacy test after asking me twice if i was pregnant and i said no for what reason I do not know i did not have any broken bones so an xray was not needed and that was obvious cause you cant see anthing unless you do a MRI I told them my back left shoulder hurt and my heart was hurting I ended up in that room for 2 hours and the outcome was supposed to be a shot of something for pain which when the nurse came in old white lady with glasses and curly hair came in with 2 brown bottles and she didnt even tell me what it was i watched her very closely cause i am very concern with what goes in my body i watched her open a syringe up and suck up both bottles then she quickly turn around and opened the red box hazard trash and threw everything in there and turn around towards me now and said pull your shirt down by your shoulder now i watched her pull a unopened plastic wrapped syringe out of her nurse shirt pocket open it up by the time i was about to say something she stab that thing so deep into my arm that now my arm and back now are in deeply excruciating pain as i type this its shooting pain into my neck whatever she put in my arm wasnt the pain meds it was somthing else i dont know what but usally afterwards they give you a piece or paper with what they just gave you they didnt and also they leave the room and they give you a min to get your things together and then you leave not the case she said grab your purse and follow me she took me out the room and pointed and said thats the way out! I knew she didnt want me to stay in that room alone afterwards cause i would have caught her ass hiding the pain meds in that red trash box. I am really considering getting a lawyer I didnt get home until 630 am and I am in more pain now then when i first arrived youll probably be hearing more from me than just this review.

UAMS NICU seems to have broken processes that cost my sons life. He had several things that could have clued them in on his failing condition if they followed a procedure and recorded their notes. The things that was not done according to his records. 1. They did not measure his abdomen. The circomference changes are a direct symptom of other life threatening things. IF they measured this abdomen they would have known that something was not correct. His abdomen increased in size while his weight decreased. Boyles law supports this fact in that they pulled 9 ounces (a little of 256 mg) from his 3.5 pound body. They are a school of medicine. In 2013 an abdominal circumference formula was developed based on their body weight. I am surprised they did not implement this in their practice.... since THEY ARE a school of medicine. 2. They did nothing when his Blood Gas pO2 returned at 66. The lower range was 70. They waited another 11 hours before taking another blood gas test. His pO2 dropped to 51. He died the next morning. 3. They failed to monitor the exposure of the UVC line. They stopped checking/recording it 38 hours before my sons death. During that time the UVC moved from the optimal small intestine location to his liver area. They drowned his organs with TPN, nutrition fluid. 4. IF they took the time to know their patience they would not always rely on technology to set an alarm. They would have seen his pulse and blood pressure were at the same levels they were when he struggled to breath minutes after birth. UAMS hurt us by not following and/or implementing procedures. I wish I knew the neglect prior to them killing my family.

Everything inside the hospital was fine the first 2 visits, they got us in and out fast and a nice lady picked us up in the parking garage to take us to the doors and drove us straight to our car when we were done. The day dad had surgery (his 3rd visit) they were ready to do surgery on his groin, he was scheduled to have cancer and lymph nodes removed from his NECK. He was there all day waiting to get the paper work checked out before surgery thank the good Lord they figured it out and hadnt put him under yet and did the correct surgery. My other complaint is...what do the ppl on the golf carts do, mind you all I saw them do (besides that first day) is sit in the garage on the carts, not moving. Dads been told they couldnt take him to the door of the cancer center and that was the day of his surgery, and today (his 4th visit) there were signs at the door that say they couldnt take you to your car, but the lady at the valet said for them to take us to the car, but we was dropped off at the end of the walkway tunnel. Left walk that he rest of the way to the car. Thats a job I need, not doing anything but driving around the hospital without patients or sitting there watching sick ppl walk by. You really should figure out whats going on with that. I wouldnt be concerned with it except Dad has copd (hes on oxygen) and at times the walking is hard on him.

My grandson was born there. We had to do a c section. My daughter in law got an infection in her incision while in hospital. This does not surprise me as our room was not cleaned the first 4 days we were there. Upon return to the hospital, the doctor in triage ripped out all of daughter in laws stiches and began raking the incision with q tips. Her pain was terrible and when she asked the doctor to stop and give her something for the pain, her response was, "You really need to stay still." And then she had a male student to lay across her so she could not move. Then we were re-admitted and our room was not cleaned for days again. Finally after reaching the housekeeping night boss, someone came and cleaned our room. She told us how embarrassed she was that we were in such a disgusting room.I wish I could post the pictures we took there. We were very upset at the filth due to the fact that we were now dealing with an open wound. And to top this all off, the air in the room did not work and nothing was done about it, even after asking several times. I was in UAMS before and thought it was just the floor I was on that was so bad. I guess it is a hospital wide thing. We did have some wonderful nurses. I thank them for being so intentional about taking care of us.
