Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital

I went to the E.R on 8-19-19 because my Stanford doctors told me to go to my closes E.R when I got their I saw they had a full house lots of patients but I still walked in and gave my name to the security guy who was signing in people he told me it would be a few minute I told him it was fine as long as I was seen but I also told him I couldn’t be near a lot of people because my Immune system is low he told me I would have to wait outside I then saw a nurse and I tried to explain my situation that I had cancer and I couldn’t be near a lot of people that I didn’t mind waiting but that I wasn’t going to wait outside because their was no chair outside. She told me they had lots of patients and that I would have to wait to be seen I told her “ I understand but I can’t be near a lot of people due to my immune system being low since I have cancer and I don’t want to be standing outside ” I didn’t mind waiting which I told them numerous times but I wanted my immune system to be protected since it is low and hospitals have lots of sick patients that can get me sick and my body can’t fight back if I get sick all end up admitting if I get sick ( the reason I didn’t want to wait outside was because their was no chairs and I had just taken my chemo pills and my body felt weak) she then told me “ your standing up right now in a rude way like if I was lying that’s when I just decided to leave. I ended up going to Natividad where they had a full house but right away they put me in a separate room to wait until I was seen. I don’t like Natividad but at least they put me in a room to protect my immune system until I was seen by a doctor. Never ever going to memorial again worse hospital ever. I rather drive to CHOMP.

I have never had such a horrible experience here the only nice person was the doctor other than that everyone that ”helped” me need to get jobs they like. When I asked the nurse what the pill I was about to take she replied I told you what it was when I walked in yet she mumbled it was almost as if I was talking to my 15yr old nephew who gets irritated for everything so I told her seems like I chose a bad night to get sick anyway I’m glad I’ll be getting a survey call in the next few days.

Oh yeah. I remember that Marie from 1main. She is racist. A staff told me she was double faces. I was a patient once and she made me very uncomfortable the way she looks at me. She never even greeted me. Then, when another staff came in, she was like so bipolar and became nice. That nurse Marie is either a pretentious or a bipolar racist. I heard a lot of Racist in this hospital. I wish the management would do something about it since this hospital is founded by a man who is very dear to the minority farmer like us. Thank you.

This hospital could use an improvement. A nurse name Marie from One Main came to the room. She looked at me from foot to head.  Never say "hi". She handed me the discharge papers and said that she had to read it to me. I noticed how thick the discharge papers, so I made a big "sigh" and rolled over my eyes. Nurse Marie Lashed out Pointing her Finger on me, and said, "I'm not gonna put up with that or I will call security". So, I went to call the house supervisor, but never came. Meanwhile, she was yelling, "Come back here and sign this paper". This is another racism. I hope they have camera or microphone in the hospital to capture this incedent.

Took my sister to the hospital for stomach flu like symptoms and spent 7.5 hours here. She was seen by a medical professional a combined time of 38 minutes. One nurse was nice when she was here but medical assistants taking vitals were fulfilling a routine and that is it. No patient interaction. No smile. No hello. They dumped us in a larger room and forgot about the Tylenol she is was suppose to have. Doctor was suppose to check on her once more before discharge and we still haven't...I finally spoke up and got attitude back. We are still waiting for the Tylenol... thank you to the kind nurse but we are never coming back. CHOMP is worth the drive.
