I can understand and even sympathize to a degree with the challenges faced by physicians and support staff, organizing high volume patient traffic, managing multiple patients with sometimes very complicated medical diagnoses. However, a proficient medical team is one whom arises to the challenges they face on a daily basis, as it varies from patient to patient; regardless of age, complication, previously diagnosed conditions, arduous treatments, and likely prognoses. Now, as for the numerous doctors and select medical staff that have embroiled themselves in my grandmothers case; they undoubtedly, should not be licensed to practice anything with relation to the medical field, particularly considering that you or your loved ones life is stuck in the balance. Completely failing to physically document reasonable comfort measures requested by the family in a face-to-face meeting with the assigned physician while another physician was present to witness is completely baffling. And then, entirely disregarding those requests, leading to physically and emotionally neglecting sensible treatment for an elderly woman in evident respiratory and emotional stress, approaching the end of her life is utterly incomprehensible. And should merit some form of reprimand, in my opinion. And before anyone jumps to defend the doctors reasoning, don’t. I have a medical mind that evaluates every factor, intrinsic and extrinsic, as well as conditional physiological function. And of my inference, there was no logical, or sensible excuse for the medical staffs actions. When confronting the staff, we only received a contrived vindication, which was dismantled quick and deftly. These physicians are passive, apathetic, and overall incompetent in the diagnosing, treating, managing, COMMUNICATING, and LISTENING to and with their patients. Throughout my abbreviated stay and experience as a relative of a Memorial Hospital in Gulfport patient, the most accurate way to describe my first-hand observations is one of an apathetic, indifferent medical staff that performs their duties niggardly and perfunctorily. No patient should ever have to endure or tolerate Memorial Hospital in Gulfports level of inferior, callous, distrait care. The only reason I GRACIOUSLY granted this organization ONE star is because of an outstanding ICU nurse who went above and beyond to make sure my grandmother was comfortable while she was on CMO orders. Overall, I wouldnt bring my sick pet here. This branch of the Memorial Health system is nescient, insouciant, and haphazard. Do yourself or your loved one a favor and find a different hospital.

Today my daughter had a doc appointment.. she had surgery and was on pain meds that made her completely dizzy to the point she could barely walk, and almost fell into a wall.. a nurse told me to go down stairs and get her some food to calm down her stomach from the meds.. well I found a wheelchair on the way there so I put her in it.. while we were eating I got told I had to give up the wheelchair. That she couldnt use it.. to which I said she can barely walk so no.. then on my way to leave I stopped by the bathroom while my daughter and her sister sat in some chairs waiting for me.. to which then an old man that works as an escort yelled at her to get out of the chair she is not allowed to use it or have it.. so while still shaking and barely able to walk.. she came to me... so then I called their supervisor and was told no wheelchair is for public use.. you can only have an escort bring you and drop you off and picked up later IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT OR SUCH IN THE HOSPITAL... THAT IN THIS PUBLIC STATE FUNDED HOSPITAL PEOPLE CANT USE A WHEELCHAIR TO GET AROUND WHILE INSIDE THE HOSPITAL.. so after the supervisor keeps hanging up on me.. refusing to speak to be because Im complaining to her that if my sick 11 year old daughter would have fallen after they took the wheelchair that they would have been liable for a lawsuit!! And now getting told because I keep calling to speak to the SUPERVISOR they care pressing charges for harassment because she continues to HANG UP ON ME !!!!!!

We were here on vacations. We arrived at 1230 am with my husband with a bad abdominal pain. The ER was empty, they took care of himy pretty fast and got him into a bed pretty fast. Took vitals, did, Xray, and CT scan within 2 hours, however, it was nearly 7 am and no one ever returned to read him the scans. Although the nurses were nice, they lacked servitude. I called them 4 times to ask about the results.on the last call they shared that it was taking long because it was a computer reading the scan results! A what??!!! Exactly not a real doctor, but a computer, so it was taking that long. Meanwhile they, did not offer him water, nor a blanket, I mean nothing! Nurses were watching TV, playing on the computers, talking with one another about their personal things, and the head doctor, sitting talking away. There was even 1 nurse who put his feet on the desk and leaned back and slept himself into heavens glory! If you are dying, you definitely youll go on to meet the Lord in glory in this place! We had a 9 hour drive back home in 5 hours and could not wait any longer. We signed out. And to them it was like nothing! I can say my husband did feel better after a while. With the fluids and pain meds they gave him, the cramps subsided. We are now on our way home to Florida . Cant wait to get home! Nothing like the health care of Florida Hospitals!!!

It has been really hit and miss. They have been great but sometimes not. My first experience with them was when I went there to deliver a baby I was giving up for adoption. It was an open adoption and the adoptive family was with me through the delivery experience- the staff could not have been more insensitive to the situation and i filed a grievance. After that I broke my leg, went in to the ER with an allergic reaction rash all over my face, and they were great. Then I went in on Mardi Gras for a bad flu because the doctors offices were closed and I was on chemotherapy right before final exams. the doctor was so nasty to me, I understand it is an emergency room and maybe my problem was less than an emergency in his opinion but I was suffering and he was so callous he wouldnt even write me a note out of school despite acknowledging my flu. He told me to wait it out. (on chemo, there is no "waiting it out" i had no immune system and things only got worse i know from experience). For the second time I was met with insensitivity to my problems. Luckily my choice to go there two weeks ago with post appendectomy pain- they found a blood clot and admitted me for a week and a half where the staff the entire time was awesome.
