Had a good experience at the ER. I came in with abdominal pain. They teiaged me promptly and drew blood for tests. Then they put me in a different waiting room. I actually got my test results back in the MyChart app before I got out of the waiting room. When I thought they were ignoring my abdominal pain too long, I pointed out to the staff that I was still having pain. They moved me to a separate room where I was seen by a physician assistant. She got my process going. They ordered a CT scan, and once they saw that I actually had a reason to be in pain, they took me back to the main ER and started my treatment. Then they admitted me to the main hospital. That was yesterday. I was treated, and I am much better today. It's taking longer than I'd like to get me discharged, but I know that they have lots of other patients besides me. I recommend GBMC.
We had our first child born at GBMC in October 2022. The experience with GBMC from labor & delivery, recovery and NICU was top notch. Staff were friendly, attentive, very professional and facility is clean. Having a baby that needs a NICU stay, we were definitely parents in distress but we’re immediately comforted and reassured by the high level of professionalism, care and friendliness of the doctors, nurses and all other staff. There’s also live piano at the lobby which is nice for relaxation.
This has been better far the worst facility I ever went to. My daughter was given an date and time for induced labor on a Sunday at 9pm, my daughter gets here and we was told to wait an hour for a room. We have been setting for 3 hours waiting for a room. We asked the nurse why was we still waiting this long and we were told that any women that comes in here that is in labor goes before my daughter no matter the time she was set up to be induced. It's not fair as patient to be told a set time and then you still waiting. Not to mention the nurse said you suppose to call a hour before your appointment which no one absolutely no one told my daughter this information at all. The nurse keep coming to ask us if we want to go home and wait til they call us back for a room. I asked them are you gonna reimburse my gas for coming here. Like this and then going home and then having to come right back. This is crazy, and we still waiting. Do not come here to delivery your babies you will not be treated right. An the nurse was being smart. My daughter has been checked but waiting for hours just sitting here. I will be reporting to the insurance company of this issue also because they will try to charge you just for waiting.
I visited the GBMC-Infectious Diseases department. This is the second go around with them. Although Dr. Jennifer Townsend was very thorough and personable, the communication and follow up was horrendous. My medications were sent to the incorrect pharmacy and she did not notify me that she had chosen a different pharmacy but to complicate matters, it's taken 3 days of back and forth calling and texting to get it straightened out. Meanwhile, I've been sick for over 7 days and still don't have my medication. I'd suggest that a retraining of the office staff would be advisable.
e.r was very crowded but staff was friendly and helpful. the nurses ge ge and Georgia on unit 46 were amazing, best I have ever had in any hospital stay or medical need. jen is doplar scan area was also very friendly and engaging and put me at ease while they checked my legs for blood clots.
Went in for chest pains and leg pain. I just now walked out, never been to a hospital where the nurses have such bad attitudes that you just want to leave and take your chances. There was no warmth or compassion in them at all. Just aggravation and short tempers, coldness that made me super uncomfortable
This hospital left my daughter with permanent bladder damage. After a very painful surgery, my daughter couldn't get out of bed, or even move, and the doctor and nurses refused to place a catheter. She was forced to hold her urine for 8.5 hours, which resulted in a permanent, painful urinary retention condition. Once they finally did place a catheter, they had to do a bladder scan every 6 hours. This is absolutely the WORST hospital we have ever dealt with. There was gross mistreatment occurring every day. The doctors and nurses do not care about the patients.
I gave birth to my first baby here. and it has been terrible. On 2020, I could not get prenatal care bc of covid and everything was shut down, and the nurse was being super sarcastic and tried to guilt trip me for being not able to get my last month prenatal care. I got an epidural and IT DID NOT WORK. I was in so much pain and could not even talk and it was very hard for me. and anetheologist was being sarcastic and said to my husband “ she can’t speak english?” for second epidural just bc she had attitude. they have no heart. she has heard me speak english for my FIRST epidural when the pain was not so bad. I am asian and im assuming she was just trying to be racist.
Pediatric unit time is horrible. One doctor for 12 plus patients. 2 hours for Covid results and that’s only one test. Been here over 4 hours some people have been here for 7+ hours , disgrace. But great job on taking the homeless and druggies first real contributors to society
My life ended at this ER, and my family lost everything. No, this is not fiction or a bad dream, although I wish it were. I had excruciatingly painful, life-threatening, gangrenous, ruptured appendicitis with peritonitis--along with all the obvious symptoms--but was secretly diagnosed with an "anxiety disorder" by an arrogant, condescending, incompetent, greedy ER doctor. Yes, that old chestnut: if you're a woman, especially one who has just had a baby, it must all be in your head! Your pain cannot possibly be higher than a "10." Also, the ER doctor does not actually work for this hospital; he's just an independent contractor who can and will have his way with you! I tried to get a second opinion and to transfer myself to another hospital, but the doctor refused my requests. I was too weak and in far too much pain to walk out. Pain medication, life-saving antibiotics and fluids were withheld because the dismissive, condescending nurses could not insert an IV line, rupturing the veins in both my arms. One nurse dismissively wrote in my records that I had been "confused" when I told her I was starving to death. Already too thin from vomiting black, foul-smelling liquid, I lost 10 more pounds in just two days at GBMC because the doctor needlessly had me NPO. Yet my abdomen blew up to a size larger than when I had been nine-months pregnant. By the time I contacted a patient advocate at ANOTHER hospital and obtained permission to transfer there, I had horrible abscesses the size of footballs and black and blue arms, conditions which the ambulance medic recorded but GBMC just didn't care to notice. I developed numerous, excruciatingly painful infectious complications including a complete colon blockage and twisting of the mesentary from having no internal body fat and required three additional, horribly painful emergency abdominal surgeries within two months. Due to the ruptured veins in my arms, the nurses had to use both my hands for the numerous IV lines. And I spent time in the ICU where I underwent excruciatingly painful NG treatments. After I was discharged, I was disfigured, disabled and in pain. I could not care for myself or my infant daughter. I could not work. I was no longer able to carry a pregnancy. My husband lost his job for spending too much time caring for us. I later required extensive reconstructive abdominal surgery to close a 12"×5" hole in my abdomen, reconnect my detached abdominal muscles and detach my colon from where it was attached to my skin. I now have no belly button and am essentially not human anymore. If you value your life and family, stay away from this ER at all costs. And please remember that you do have rights, including the right to leave.
