One's mindset after giving birth or dealing with a traumatic health episode is not to rush to the…read morecomputer and write reviews.
But how trustworthy can an online hospital review be? A review written in haste, or in anger, for example, won't be helpful to the patient who trusts it, and could even be harmful.
I have been to this hospital several times from the mid 90s (excruciating and unstoppable headaches) through the mid 2000s (gallbladder removal, unstoppable headaches, mammogram, blood work, hiatal hernia surgery).
For the most part, everything went off without a hitch. In a nutshell, I can say I have always been treated successfully, politely and attentively.
I can not say that all my combined experiences were without issues. My gallbladder removal surgery in 2005 went fine. My recovery was not the simple 'out-patient' experience. I went in on a Thursday and came out Sunday evening. I could not get over the sickness from the anesthesia. That wasn't the hospital's fault, but my body's inability to overcome quickly.
While recovering from that surgery, a nurse in training and her supervisor came to give me a shot for pain. She rolled me onto my side and I was prepared to fill it stick my butt. She did not. She, instead, gave it to me on the side of my leg, hitting a nerve over the side hip bone.
I spent almost a year in physical rehab to regain the ability to walk properly. I was subjected to endurring a 'nerve damage test', that involved having a needle inserted under my skin and electrical pulses sent through it. The needles weren't inserted locally to my damaged area, but a variety of places from top to bottom, front to back, of BOTH legs. That was torture.
According to numbers you find online, the 'readmit' (readmission within 30 days) for coronary, pneumonia, and heart attack is on average 25%. Put that into perspective, Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tn averages 19%.
They have several events throughout the year that benefit the community. They also host the Winter Wonderland in December to help collect donated food items for Amen Food Pantry. http://www.yelp.com/biz/winter-wonderland-2014-corinth
