Cochran Jr, Willie, Md - Southern Regional Medical Ctr

I was a patient in thr ED in 2008 and the staff and ohysicians was wonderful. This is a great hospital. more

i was in this hospital for 6 weeks after foot surgery. the people that worked there became my friends. they were so kind an caring. they made my stay better than it could have been. more

No one likes going to the hospital but I have had to go here 2 times. Both times to the ER. Both times I was given in adequate care and the staff was either untrained or very new to practicing medicine. My first visit I was bleeding from my hand on the floor and had to wait for about 2 hours to see a nurse who took my blood pressure. The "DR" came in and was maybe 25 years old and he didn't know what to do it seemed. He kept leaving as if to ask someone down the hall what to do. He injected a numbing agent into my finger but I could still feel the tip. It was so overfilled my finger looked like a sausage and he could not pump any more fluid into my finger. Anyways I told him I could still feel the end of my finger and he told me that I would just have to be strong. He then proceeded to cut underneath my finger nail to cut my nail off as it had been cut in half already. Worst pain ever. Anyways I got a call from their "Customer Service" line a few weeks later for a "how was your trip" questionnaire. I told them everything, she apologized and said she would get her manager to call me back. Never heard from them again. Nice. more

People I know went here for an epidural, and all they have are good things to say about this hospital. First off, they scan you by Xray to see where exactly they need to cut. They always give you an IV in case they have to knock you out. They never let you drive home, they make someone drive you home for you. When you do get home, they make sure your okay, calling you more than once to make sure the precedure went occurding to plan. I'm not sure about the rest of the hospital, but that part of the hospital is great. more
