Baptist Desoto wasn't my first choice hospital to have my daughter but I really didn't have a choice and it was close to my home . Before having my daughter I took a tour and decided that maybe it wouldn't be that bad after all. At first everything went pretty well, I had a really nice nurse that new what she was doing but it soon all went down hill. Another nurse came in my room to draw blood and I have had blood drawn several times in my life and I think this was the the most painful blood drawing experience I've ever had. When my docter arrived and started his examination and he informed me that my water had been leaking for some time and the nurses did not pick up on this. I'm not done, time for the catheter, they ended up having to take it out several hours later because I was in so much pain and had not urinated that whole time, I was told later by my doctor that the catheter must have had a kink in it but they played dumb and I never got and explanation from any of the nurses. Last but not least after having my daughter and been transported to my room they needed to transfer me to my room bed a couple nurses came in and one of the nurses made the comment ""we've got a big one here"", in reference to my weight. OK people I had just had a baby and a C-section I'm gonna be swollen, beside the fact of what I had already been through a rude remark from a suppose to be professional was not called for. I work in the healthcare field myself and I still can't get over what I had to experience at Baptist Desoto, so if you plan on having a baby and you want a good experience then I wouldn't go to this hospital, I wish someone would have told me!!!!
