Please do not take your loved one to this hospital unless its a emergency. I cannot really say dont take them because yes there are some reviews on here that have five stars so I will say watch your loved one very carefully with that said at any hospital you should do this. My husband was admitted because he was weak after dialysis treatment. He was confused as well previously he fell on a already fractured hip in which I told them to please check this because if you even move that leg slightly he is in pain. I was also told he had a infection in his foot so I thought ok they told me some physical therapy and I thought they would xray his hip to make sure nothing was going on with that and treat his infection. On discharge day I was not there to pick him up I thought to myself well this was quick because he never even received the therapy, someone else in our family had to pick him up. He came home they never even asked him about his hip........ he also came home with nothing for the infection on his foot. I was in shock and in tears and also the next day he was right back in the hospital because his blood sugars were still high.......I had some other problems as well but only feel the need to address the ones that were more important. All I really want to say is this before your loved one is DISCHARGED....... before they bring that discharged paper in the room make sure you have doted all Is and crossed all your Ts before you bring your loved one home. One other thing I really could not believe how much time the Doctors visits are when I say they are literally 2 minutes I really mean its a 2 minute visit and then off they go with what they call a hospital visit well over 100.00 dollars. I really would like to know if people have a conscience i look at it this way one day you will be sick if you are lucky you will die in your sleep if not you may have to be hospitalized that same care you give to others is going to be given to you. I make it my business not to mistreat people because I might need a good nurse or a good doctor one day so I thank God for blessing me to be kind to others so that kindness will be returned to me one day.........I did not want to give this post any stars at all but you cannot post this if you dont give at least one star.

I will start off and say that my ER experience was the only time during my entire stay that I felt I was in good hands. The RN Tracy who was my ER nurse was absolutely fantastic. She not only kept me informed every step of the way but showed compassion and put me at ease. The doctor in the ER was also very concerned for my health and wanted to best for so he admitted me. The only person in the ER that I seriously questioned her credentials was the shift change nurse who almost gave me morphine when my blood pressured had bottomed out. If the vitals machine didnt start beeping causing a second nurse to walk in and literally yell at the other nurse to stop immediately, morphine would have been in my system. From there I was moved to a room on the fourth floor which is a post-op floor for observation. The overnight RN didnt have a clue what she as doing and all over the place. I was repeatedly asked if I wanted pain medications despite my blood pressure being incredibly low and then I was given a blood thinner even though I was possibly going in for surgery. The doctor who was assigned to me didnt seem to have an absolute clue what he was doing and blew off my concerns. Now I had severe stomach pain, extremely low blood pressure, extremely high heartrate, fever, chills, and the high white blood count but according to this doctor I was stressed out. Yes the scans came back negative and yes I know stress can do crazy things but this was not stress. My white blood count was sky high which Im guessing stress would not cause. The from there when I voiced my concerns to the RN that I was feeling blown off and not being taken care of, no one showed up in my room for the rest of the day which further proves that I was being blown off. So not only did they lack compassion, they lacked knowledge and could have potentially caused fatal reactions should they administered the morphine and if I needed surgery with a blood thinners in my system. I will not be going back to this hospital unless I am looking to be ignored and die.

I went to st. Joes for my back (which is very painful) bt while there the male attendant wanted me to get fully undressed for some blood work and an X-ray .. I told the man as I seen him prepping the grown its not happening period ... Ill step out he says.. no dude not happening .. so a female comes in for a ekg, I have my sleeve pulled up for blood work.. again he refuses to do it until Im in the grown ... so he walks out the room .. the women goes well this (ekg) is more important, so I asked do u need me undressed too?! She said no just need ur shirt off.. so I comply with that Im explaining to her how I feel with males (hopefully she understands) she said she understood.. so now the man walks back (I have the grown overing my chest) he tells me lay down on the bed he wants to me to b comfortable so I dont move... 1 sir I cant my back hurts, 2 Im afraid of needles so y would I move with a baby needle in my arm? 3 Ive been waiting and counted the tubes lets go... then telling me he gets paid to be here. (CARE) and I dont have to b funny about putting the grown on! Hold on ! Told him in your Position u have to understand what ur patient is going through and b understanding of that person by telling me technically Im wrong for having my feelings and need to get over them is wrong on ur behalf.. I wanted a female nurse he got pissed and stormed out the room and I can hear him talking cuz Im next to the nurses station .. I was so upset I stormed out the room in tears Ive never in my life felt so degraded and disrespected as a women cuz my feelings are wrong... I was so upset I made it home in 5 mins ... I hope no one has to feel the way I did that was just too much for me

This review does not reflect the nurses or nurses aides in anyway they are great, but the supervisors and hospital administrators are unprofessional, unethical crooks. They treat there staff like animals, they dont care for there staff. They allow staff members to pick up overtime shifts, approve those shifts so the staff members make plans to work and then cut them an hour before the shift starts. If you dont know how to do your job then ask for help or get someone who does. I warn all people from going there for treatment and all future potential nurses, I highly recommend you find another place to work, I hear kaleida health is awesome to work for. They actually treat you like human being.
