My sister is diabetic and has a pretty extensive history as far as dealing with health issues. She was recently admitted into this hospital, and it has been terrible. Due to her multiple health issues, when something is serious enough for her to be admitted, she has to be monitored closely, because history has proven that her condition can go from stable to critical at any time, and while we don't claim or look for that to happen, we would still appreciate if the hospital staff would take that into consideration. My sister is on the 4th floor of the main building, and as I was getting ready to leave her last night the male nurse who was taking care of her promised me and my family that he would look after her and check on her often, and he did just that. However, this morning I was awakened by an upsetting call from my sister, she was vomiting violently and crying trying to get her words out. She managed to tell me that she was afraid because she wasn't feeling right and had been vomiting repeatedly for hours. Her night nurse had ended his shift an hour and a half before, and she hadn't seen another nurse since. She tried pushing the call button for the nurse and told me she had been waiting for at least 15 min for someone to respond, but no one did. It was not until 15 min after she called me and me trying to calm her down that someone finally responded. 30 min???? Unacceptable!!! Even after they responded, it still took at least another 10 min for the nurse to actually come in to see about her, and that was only because my mother had to literally call the hospital and raise hell to get someone in the room until one of us could get to her. My mother talked to the charge nurse on duty on the phone and she came up with every excuse as to why the nurse hadn't been in the room, and even lied and said the nurse checked on my sister 15 min prior, which we all knew was a complete lie because by that time I had been on the phone with my sister for at least 45 min, and I'm a witness that no one entered the room during that time. Then, after speaking with my mom, the charge nurse went into the room with my sister and wanted to speak with her. She asked her who she was speaking with on the phone as if it was any of her business, and when my sister told her she was talking to me (I've never met this nurse), she asked her to hang up the phone. For what??? All of this comes after other problems she's had during this visit alone, and this is the last straw. If you care for your loved ones, do not bring them to this hospital!!!
