I was at the Hartford Hosp outpatient center in Milford and the entire office & medical staff was great. I went into the surgery feeling that I was in good hands across the board, especially with Dr. W. He takes his time to really listen to patients and is not a surgeon who believes surgery is always the answer. He had been recommended to me by other medical professionals and I completely see why.

We were very fortunate that when a crisis occurred, the patient was in the Yale OR. Otherwise, he…read moremight well have not survived. The surgeons, doctors, and most of the nurses were top-notch. Nurses Naomi in the CTICU and Dai and Karla on SP 5-3 deserve a special shout-out for professional, compassionate and competent care. The real problem with YNHH is that it's a 45-hours-per-week hospital. It's practically a nursing home, except Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. Even then, it can take forever for procedures to be scheduled and to take place. Many departments close up shop for the weekend, and the ONLY goal for the remaining staff seems to be handing everyone, still alive, back to the active practitioners on Monday morning. In preparation for a discharge on Friday morning, a bedside attempt was made to place a PICC-line. When that failed, placement in radiology was needed, but they were unable to schedule that until the following Tuesday. FOUR extra days in the hospital, because of the weekend, and because of not enough personnel/resources to get him into IR in a timely fashion. A frustrating, and expensive delay! Enduring 4 needless inpatient days, with the noise, discomfort, unappetizing/ cold food, and increased risk of infection was unacceptable. There are reminders posted everywhere to SHHH (Silent Hospitals Help Healing), but the loudness in the hallways was intolerable. There is beeping from cardiac monitors 24/7. The CNAs, in particular, think nothing of sitting around the hallways, ignoring call bells, and loudly calling to or chatting with each other, while student nurses do their jobs for them. If the unit even has a manager, he or she was entirely invisible, and the CNAs clearly have no fear of being seen lounging or complaining. Someone's idea of management is obviously "let's put up signs," rather than actually monitoring what's happening on the unit.

Their billing! I was…read morescheduled for an outpatient procedure at the end of January. They had to have their copay up front. The day of the procedure, the doctor said it was not necessary. They had, however, done an ultrasound to determine this. Two weeks later I called to see where my refund was. I was told it could take 45 days for insurance - given that they did do the ultrasound portion, I did not mention that had the original doctor made the same determination from the original ultrasound, I wouldn't have been there. 45 days later, I call. Yup, I do have a credit balance that would go back to my credit card. A week later, I still don't have it. They had to have my money up front - now they have had my money for 2.5 months. Not acceptable.

He was still heavily medicated and tripped and stumbled his way out. I had to find a wheel chair on my own from the Yale office to get my sedated child safely to the car. Against my better judgement we took our youngest there too. I fully recognize that even using best practices there can be unwanted outcomes. When I expressed my concerns first to the nurse than the doctor that my child was reporting pain and was pounding on the arm rest to get them to stop or to acknowledge them and he was shushed and told to stop moving. Certainly there are limits to medication dosages and sometimes pain can happen. That is not the problem. Its the hubris and arrogance coupled with the gaslighting from staff. The reluctance to admit a complications. That is the problem. The doctor was better about it and had a reasonable explanation for every concern though was not apologetic/sympathetic that there were compications. The nurse was the real offender. Starting by saying my child was just being emotional. Minimizing this child's concerns and acting almost put out by my asking questions respectfully. Coastal has a nursing problem.
