2003 labor & delivery HUGE mistake! In June 2003, on my due date, in full on labor, I arrived ready to give birth in severe pain with regular contractions. They put me on the tummy contraction monitor and told me I wasnt having any contractions, told my husband and guests with us that I was faking it because the machine would pick it up. They dismissed me, drove out towards Kansas to meet with my mom & dad and and by the time we got near Shawnee mission hospital, my water broke and her head was coming out!! The reason their machine didnt pick up my severely painful contractions was because my daughters back was against my back and I was having "back labor"! If the nurse wouldnt have assumed I was a faker and would have done an ultrasound like I insisted, they would have seen what was happening, been able to medicate me, instead of sending me off in true labor in the worst pain of my life! My name was Darla Pollard, this was June 7-8, 2003. Id appreciate an apology and maybe something else. The care I received wasnt care at all. This was my third pregnancy, I know when Im about to give birth. Because of the inconsiderate care I got at Truman, I barely made it to the hospital at all, my baby was almost born in the car!! And the pain of back labor, OMG!! HOW can someone even fake that? WHY would I fake that? Why wouldnt you believe me and help me? 10 years later and Im still traumatized by the pain and compete disregard for humanity! The nurse was talking over my screams of agony telling my husband and family that Im faking because the monitor isnt showing anything. Pfft! Give mom the benefit of the doubt next time, your mistake could have cost us both our lives! Ive suffered severe hypertension ever since that day and my body began overproduction of stress hormone cortisol and Ive developed Cushings disease and I attribute it all to the suffering Truman labor& delivery caused me in 2003 by completing ignoring the fact that I was truly in the worst imaginable pain aside from a burn victim! Shame on you!

Worst experience ever. i ended up more hurt when I left the ER than when I came in. I went in 3 weeks ago for an eye complication, Im a single, 27 year old girl so I was pretty scared and worried... my mom was on her way 45 minutes away. I got the same nurse that I had a year or so before when I had a cyst rupture. The first time, she royally screwed up in putting my IV in, digging around my arm for a good 2 or 3 minutes before finding my vein. Pictures of those bruises are first. Then this time, I have just now been able to use my arms and hands normally, as she first tried my left arm, again missing the mark, and instead poking and digging into my nerves. When I screamed in pain because chilling, searing pain was shooting throughout my arm, she pushed the needle in further until I had to pull away from her. I was so pissed I refused the IV and she walked out and rudely told the dr that I was refusing my IV. When the doctor came in to tell me I had to have an IV for a cat scan, I let him know I wasnt refusing just to be a pain and why. He still sent her in again to do the IV in my right arm. Safe to say you guys probably know what happened next. Same thing in my right arm. Ive had hopefully temporary the hospital said, nerve damage in both arms now for 3 weeks in my peripheral nerves and havent been able to utilize or extend my arms without shooting searing pain throughout both. Pictures of the bruising the second go around are below as well. RUN FOR THE HILLS. Go to another hospital even if its further. I would love to see how many malpractice cases this hospital would incur if their patients had the means to pursue them. The nurse I have spoken of, spent her night talking about other patients loudly outside of my room with other nurses and doctors, making fun of them for their problems, adding in details from her week long vacation in Vegas the prior week. Ridiculously unethical and insanely rude. I will never step foot in this hospital again.

I came in 2 months ago for a headache. Two days in a roll. 1st day I came in I had my 3 kids with me because we were all sick. They kept us in a room for 5 hours just because I mentioned that I was on 1 pill for tuberculosis that my doctor told me I probably catches it from Someone else cause my kids were tested negative. Instead of at least checking up on us or asking us if we needed anything. I mean my kids were so hungey and thirsty. We came in at 10am till 1 my sister came and took them. I had to check out at 3 and they only gave me 1 Tylenol. On the third day I came back in cause the pain was worst. They put me in a cat scan.The nurse? that worked on mg Ivy. He was an old man gave me 3 pain medicines through my Ivy oh man it was a worst horrible feelings I had ever experienced. I mean I felt like I was loosing my mind( i guess i was high) I couldnt get up I couldnt move I even almost fell off the high bed I was on. My mouth and throat were so dry I had to waited until the old man came back to ask for some water. My 6 mnths old baby and my sister were with cause my baby only breastfeed. So I had no choice but to bring him along. the whole time waited he was hungry he needed me to breastfeed him. but i couldnt move. He kept crying I was so sad for him. I can smell the medicine he put in my Ivy for straights 2 days while I was at home. So after this horrible experience I received a bill of $1,728.56 what in the world now. I am unemployed still looking for a job. hard to find a job when you had a child that doesnt like formulas or milk bottles but breast feed only. So thats why I dont have a medical insurance.

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and have to go to this hospital. Ive never been treated so bad by doctors and nurses! they have brought me to tears, they have no compassion what so ever, I feel depressed and violated every time I come out of there. It takes every thing I have to get up and go to this place. I think for some reason they want to like take my baby or something, some of those doctors have no business being doctors! doctors are supposed to be compassionate and care about your well being. This is just a nightmare and I wish I could do something, like find a different doctor or something but Im pretty much stuck with it. I wouldnt wish this place or type of treatment on my worst enemy, when your pregnant your supposed to be able to enjoy it and its supposed to be a special time in your life and your supposed to be happy, I have literally not been able to enjoy my pregnancy at all, BECAUSE of truman. They have always been right there to harass me and make me uncomfortable and put me down. Nobody should have to go through what Ive experienced already and I havent even gave birth yet which Im terrified of .. I SHOULD be excited but again, BECAUSE OF TRUMAN I am afraid Im going to have a terrible time when I go into labor as well. I really dont want to have to go there when I go into labor I am scared to death about how my baby and I will be treated. I dont know what to do. Please dont go here, Its a terrible place.
