THIRD WORLD COUNTRY HOSPITAL ! THIS IS A SLAUGHTERHOUSE!
MATADERO FULL*
Family member was scheduled for surgery. Checked in at 0600 and doctor arrived at 1000. Due to covid, I was sent to my car to wait for 8 hrs (the best part of my experience because I had AC, my own space and Netflix). They told me twice that I was going to receive a call to get my mom's belongings and I was the one making the calls. They put her into a room to recover post-op around 2:30. Again, I found out because I called. They only told me: Go to room *** at the *th floor and that's it. No directions. I had to chase and do my own scavenger hunt.
Let's get to the best part yet: You have to bring even your own urinal, sheets, pillows, soaps, hygiene stuff, and pay parking and TV**** ($7.00 per day). Nurses on this floor don't have priorities and my nurse started at 3pm and she didn't stop by until 5:45. No introduction, no name, no orders for my mom and no plan for the night. I did all their job, except meds because I can't. I cleaned her, I assessed her, I made her pee, I had to bring from my house my own gloves, I had to restock paper towels on my sink, I had to ask for more hand sanitizer, and more.
Went home to take a quick shower and I comeback with my mom waiting for the nurse/techs to help her pee again (almost 40 minutes). I called my nurse myself and first I ask, what's your name and give me a supervisor. Supervisor came and she was more intimidating than the Night Stalker. She threatened me of kicking me out of the hospital because my voice was loud and I couldn't content myself. She said: "I just listen to you the same way I listen everybody". I told her: "Thanks for listening, I feel better", but I told her... I don't wanna be treated like this if the situation was my case. Then, 2 nurses came and helped me with my mom. My mom is very stable and almost a self, but since we don't have instructions on what to do (drink, pee, poop, etc), I was just waiting for instructions. Nobody has touched my mom's legs for DVT, nobody has assessed her NG tube, nobody has assessed her wound, THIS IS A DISASTER.
Not to mention I wanted a private room with the fee that I was able to pay and nobody has got back to me. I would never COME TO THIS PLACE!
Hospital structure is old, antique and breaking in pieces. There is no phones in the rooms and each room has two patients. There's one bathroom for 4 patients (TOTALLY INHUMAN DURING COVID TIMES). I brought my own sanitizer, wipes and cleaners.
Don't come to this place. This is the worst hospital in the whole world. The staff? Not competent at all. read more
