I have my father-in-law in this Hospital. He is diabetic,on dialisis,has a defibulator installed to his heart, some kind of a bacteria eating at his leg. This hospital did send out a sample to be reviewed right away. Tuality Hospital does not give medications on a timely basis when the patient needs it, such as the insulin for the diabetis. They will give the insulin which is fast acting and then the patient is to eat. The patient is on alot of pain medication that he falls asleep. The nurses do not make sure the patient eats,they leave the room. There for, the patients glucose numbers drops drastically, which if drops too low will cause a diabetic coma. My mother-in-law is visiting daily for hours and makes sure he eats since she cannot depend on the hospital staff. What would happen if she was not there? When the doctors come in to see the patient, they do not call the wife as requested with information. The doctors do not alway's leave the information in the patient's file. Hospital employee's do not check the patient's file for active medications beiing used. Instead,they will ask the family what medications the patient on! The nurses will at times come into the room and ask the patient if he WANT'S his insulin! Now, who is the nurse and who is the patient? They gave my father-in-law one of his prescriptions at one time and now we have not seen that paticular medication since. Nothing has been said to the patients wife and no notes have been entered into the file as to why.
Pros: Bed side manner for the most part
Cons: Medications not given on a timely matter, nurse and doctors don't know what the right hand is doing!
