Winter Haven Hospital

I feel like the reviews are not an accurate representation of this hospital/emergency room. They got me right in, through triage, and admitted so much faster than I even thought was possible. The staff are all so conscientious and thoughtful, they consistently asked what I needed and wanted. They wasted no time getting me scheduled for surgery as soon as possible. Hopefully I do not have the pleasure of visiting the emergency room any time soon, but if I do, or anyone near me does, I will definitely be referring to Winter haven hospital!

My stepmom went to winterhaven emergency room Monday October 17 for the first time with her scooter for stomach pain her legs were bothering her and her right arm not being able to get out of bed and bleeding from the rectum and uncomfortable bowls and they sent her home she got home for not even 20 minutes and she was trying to get in the house and fell causing her to hit her tailbone and head on a curb we had to have paramedics to help get her up because she was unable to get up they took her to the hospital and hour later they sent her home in a Uber and the nurses were very rude to her and the driver that she had used all her rides up that the hospital had provided to people who didn't have a way home for three days this went on her going back up there to get help for all the same things they wouldn't listen and sending her home with just pain medicine. On Sunday October 23 they finally admitted her after anambulance had to come and get her for chest hurting uncontrollable bowls and bleeding from the rectum and unable to move they had to take her because they couldn't get a readable blood pressure. Come to find out she was bleeding internally and her kidneys were failing. She started out on the 3 floor in a room and the first few day' s up there they would take for ever to clean her up when I got there she would be laying in urine and fesies and I would have to ask for clean bedding and help cleaning her up . No this is November 6 she is in sciu. and she's now on life support fighting for her life in the previous week before she has had 4 major surgery's a blood transfusion and 11 pints of blood a 4 unit's of plasma within a matter of a week. If the winterhaven er would have listened she would be doing much better instead of not doing further investigation of her symthoms. She's now on life support.

Very friendly and fast checking in at the emergency room. Drs and nurses very profecional and nice. Also cafeteria open until 2am, with hot food. Others hospitals cafeteria closes at 7pm.

DONT GO THERE YOU WILL DIE BEFORE YOUR GET SEEN

I have been at the winter Haven emergency room in the past and it was not a good experience but when I had to go there this past week the experience was total a good one.. And the doctor not only made sure everything was explained to me so I could understand he even called me 2 days later to see how I was doing.. Thank you Dr. Mitchell MD...
