My father was direct admitted to the diolysis floor (7th floor). I had to go and get his identification bracelet from the nurses station 3 hours after he had been in his private room. Water was asked for on 5 different occasions before I had to go retrieve it from the nurses station. The breathing therapist took 5 hours to finally come to the room after she was asked to come up. It took many times asking to get a social worker to come to his room in order to set up diolysis at our local center. To top it off.......In 8 days after being admitted......He has seen a doctor for a total of about 15 minutes. The time that a doctor was talking to him they had no bedside manners and were very insensitive to him. My mother, who has been a nurse for 25 years, said this is the worst hospital she has ever seen. Wake Forest Baptist Hospital is 100 times better in all areas. I really do not know how they stay in business and how insurance companies like mine can send them the thousands of dollars they bill their patients.
Pros: Emergency department
Cons: Nurses and Doctors
