I delivered by daughter at this hospital, she quickly developed a hospital-caused infection. The nurses who had been checking my cervix during labor must not have washed their hands first, because they introduced a gram positive bacillus bacteria into the amniotic fluid (my water was already broken) which got into my baby's lungs and caused severe sepsis after delivery. The bacteria was NOT one found normally in the human body (I didn't have it or carry it) - it was hospital acquired by nurses with unclean hands who obviously grabbed the outside of their plastic gloves with dirty hands and then put those unclean gloves inside me. God forbid they do something as simple as wash their hands FIRST.\r
My poor baby was in the hospital for a week after delivery, put on strong, dangerous antibiotics (Tobrimyicin - which can cause deafness, but nobody told me that or asked my consent - luckily my child can still hear) and ordered for a spinal tap to see if the bacteria had gotten into her spinal fluid. All because of dirty hands by inept nurses who cannot be bothered with washing their hands. \r
The experience in the NICU was no better. The nurses ROUTINELY came back from lunch or where-ever and did NOT wash their hands before touching the premies and other babies in the NICU (they are supposed to wash thoroughly each time). Plus they often went from one baby to the next without washing hands. I stayed in that NICU as much as possible trying to prevent them from touching my baby without washing their hands. They already made her deathly ill once, I was not about to witness them do it again. She very nearly died. The neonatologist said that she very well could have died from the septic illness in her little body.\r
My advice ... RUN from this hospital. I wouldn't go back there again for anything in the world, and I DEFINITELY would never deliver another child there.Total incompetence - total nightmare with this hospital. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Cons: Total Incompetence, dirty, inept nurses
