Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital

I had aortic valve replacement surgery and the care was excellent. i was not a good patient but the nurses in the CTRU and progressive care were attentive and patient. My daughter was admitted in the course of her terminal illness and received the best of care. I love this hospital.

I went to an urgent care because I was sick and a month away from delivering my first child. They didn’t tell me my diagnosis. They gave me antibiotics, but later that night I couldn’t breathe. I went to the hospital I was going to deliver at, ECM. I think I waited for 3-4 hours for difficulty breathing. The doctor was terrible and so rude. His bedside manner was nonexistent. I couldn’t breathe. I understand that my medicine hadn’t started working, but I didn’t want to lie in bed and die bc of difficulty breathing. Instead of listening to my concerns, he yelled at me about not giving my medicine time to kick in. I didn’t even know I had been diagnosed with Bronchitis and this is why I was at the ER.

That same month my husband had emergency hernia surgery. While I was waiting on him in the lobby a registrar came out to register me for my birth a month away and attempted collecting money multiple times.

The following month I gave birth to my son. I had been in labor for 30 hours and pushed 3-4 times. I told the nurse I wanted to talk to my dr about a C-section because he told me I may need it. She laughed at me. Fortunately my feet were in the stirrups and I’d had an epidural so no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t kick her in the face. Luckily my OB left and open his own birthing center. Stay away from this hospital if possible.

Words can't describe this place however there are a few good people who works here

The ER doc, Dr. Speyrer was great. Compassionate and caring staff, even on a busy Friday night. Ali was our nurse. She was so kind and caring. Ms. Sherry was the radiology tech that kept us smiling. And Ms. Ronell is a precious jewel. She went out of her way to show kindness. I am so thankful that we have such skilled and caring providers in our area.

Would not take my grandmother because of age when she had 2nd stroke when she had no other option she was needing a nurosurgen it's awful when someone comes to hospital for help and cant get it when they got in the profession they agreed to do all that they can do to save lives it's the sorriest hospital and staff I have ever witnessed in my 50yrs and if the new hospital north Alabama medical center is like it I will not be going any way any time not even to see someone else worthless low life sonsabitchs
