Cape Coral Hospital

As a medical professional myself, I regret to inform you that I would not step foot inside this hospital voluntarily again for $1 million. The ER room they put me in was dirty, had old smeared blood on the wall, and they left me exposed to the hallway without ever offering even a sheet. I had to use the clothes I had taken off to keep people from being able to look up my gown as they walked by and stared in at me. Mind you I was crying for much of this experience because I was so miserable and humiliated. I have never experienced such a thing. I felt like an animal at the zoo. They ignored the main thing I was there for which was dehydration and *refused* to give me any IV fluids. The PA claimed this was because “my labs were fine“. As a provider myself I can tell you firsthand that labwork is not even close to being the only determinant for dehydration. What about the fact that I have not had barely any food or water for days, my lips are cracked, and I am barely urinating? For the cost of my co-pay alone I could have just gone to a medical spa and gotten a bag of IV fluids. At least I would have been treated kindly. I left not only still extremely dehydrated and feeling miserable but also upset and frustrated with the lack of good medical services in Lee County. What if I were to get in a car accident and be incapacitated? I am terrified that I would be brought to this hospital.

Wow... Never have I ever felt so horrible leaving a hospital. I was treated so horrible from the doctor after having really bad concerns about my leg. I was told "What do you want us to to about it?" And sent me home with no answers. I'm crying and stressed not knowing what's going on and for a doctor to say something so unprofessional just really makes me upset. Never coming here again.

EDIT: After seeing a doctor and 3 minutes of simple tests by striking nerves in the wrist and neck showed carpal tunnel syndrome for sure and a pinched nerve in neck it looks like. A simple MRI on my neck, and a few strikes to my wrist would have proved this very easily. It would have saved the hospital tons of time. You did one on my head why not on my neck? Never had a TIA and the hospital said they had to make a diagnosis so they could admit me. I am healthy as a horse. Never ever ever ever will I go to this hospital again! Was told by nurse my problem's stem from not accepting a higher christian based power. I'm spiritual agnostic that's my choice. Hospitalized for TIA when I never had a TIA. Just anxiety compounded with carpal tunnel syndrome and possible pinched nerve in neck. Was admitted and tested like crazy. Sent home with TIA diagnosis.

My mother’s doctor found an abnormality in her leg and told her to go to the hospital for a ct scan just to be sure. The staff at the hospital over dramatized her condition and then admitted her. They drugged her beyond belief, morphene and drugs to slow her brain and so on while she begged to be released. The next day after nine pages of tests were done the heart surgeon said all was clear and she could be released after an echo test. When I told nurse David he called me a liar and said that did not happen. He was power hungry and rude and refused to look at me when responding to show he did not respect me. I was adamant and refused to leave so he eventually called the doctor who said to release her. Moral of the story do not leave your loved one in nurse David’s hands because he will dramatize the condition and force them into their death bed.

Although I didn’t go to the ER, the nurses and doctors that got me through my meniscus surgery were amazing; they were kind and professional and really tried making my time at the hospital pleasant! I would definitely recommend coming here for any scheduled surgeries and visits!
