Harton Regional Medical Center

Was in ER on Friday 09/13 for caution with heart issues. The ER staff was great the admission staff was lacking in the ability to get me moved to a room upstairs in a timely manner. Spent 8 hours in the ER without any lunch or dinner. After I was admitted still no food or drink wife made arrangement for food. The charge nurse Michael did a good job. Stayed extra hours in the ER for nothing. Getting discharged from the hospital is even more of a nightmare. Over a 2 hour wait to get discharged is ridiculous. Rooms also need attention and maintenance.

I was admitted here when I was very sick. The Drs. and nurses worked great together .Team work! I would recommend this hospital for the best of care.

My daughter went to the ER between 6 and 7 on a Sunday morning, diagnosed with appendicitis and should've been taken immediately to surgery but surgery wasn't performed until 2:00 pm. Her appendix were already leaking by that time which caused problems for her. She was in the hospital for 6 days with high white cell count, severe pain, and fever. They sent her home on Saturday, still in a lot of pain and with a low grade fever. On Sunday she went back to the ER for the pain and was given some pain pills and sent home after being told, "well, it's gonna hurt." On Monday she started running a high fever and called the doctor's office and was told to go back to the ER. He met her there and they did a CT scan and found that she had an abscess in her abdomen. She had another emergency surgery that night and spent another week in the hospital. After being home for less than two weeks she made another trip to the ER for pain. They did another CT scan and the abscess is still there. They gave her antibiotics thinking that will get rid of it. In my opinion, if they had taken her to surgery as soon as they diagnosed her, things would've been different. They waited so long that she started to rupture. If the antibiotics doesn't take care of the abscess, that means another surgery. If that happens, I will do everything in my power to keep her from going back there. Aside from all that, their cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. There were bugs (dead and alive) all over the floors. They were in the rooms and in the halls. My daughter had to knock some off her bed at times.

I was very impressed with all the staff at Tennova, the Dr's kept me updated on everything they was doing, and very polite and respectful to me and my family.

My wife/ mother of our WEEK OLD child goes in there at 8pm with a 103.8 fever Sent home 5 hours later with NOTHING Tested her for the flu, UTI, and blood test for sepsis I guess?!?! gave her NO ANSWERS AT ALL Took 4 vials of her blood Sent her home WITH A FEVER, PALE, and SHAKING. I'm no doctor but I'd say perhaps an infection ??? However no antibiotics were prescribed and no steps were made to correct the issue. Will NEVER return. I am gonna take care of her through the night and miss work tomorrow to drive her to the next closest hospital.
