Used linen from someone who slept in the lounge

Hospital stuck in 1960s. Old and worn equipment everywhere, the post that hold the IV are rusted, lots of discolored rusted equipment. Bathrooms not clean as they should be in a hospital setting. Tiny emergency room. When you arrive to the ER there are guards on the street checking you go into the hospital parking which is $12 an hour, meanwhile there's free parking for emergency room patients. The guard are a bunch of geniuses trying to figure how to let you in. The nurses are hit or miss as far as being good, we had a good one so shout out to Stephanie on the first floor because she was the only one that was golden, the rest dwindle between mediocre to plain done w nursing so their goal is doing the minimum. The doctors were in that same wavelength, the ER doctor was supposed to visit and when he did he wasn't that informative as to what was happening. They did a CT scan and never came back to let us know the results. The day doctor for sure didn't read the chart because was giving us different info, the chief Dr Jerwyn was despondent, condescending and leaves much to be said about bedside manner, she is truly the example of being too smart doesnt equal being right to lead. I dread to think how her staff suffers. No case worker came to give us the whole picture of whats happening so we had to piece together the puzzle. Overall it served its purpose on an emergency but long term care is not recommended.

It's hard to review a hospital since the quality of care depends on who is there and your state of mind. On Friday I took my father to the cardiologist and he found water in his lungs. He said he had to immediately go to the hospital to get it drained and he recommended I go to St. Francis. My father being stubborn refused any hospital visit at first but finally we got him to go. When we drove into the parking lot I thought I would walk my father to the ER but the walk was too much. A staff exiting noticed us and helped us into the nearest entrance which was not the ER. He got us a wheelchair and even wheeled us to the ER. That was very nice of him considering he was on his way out. At the ER the triage nurse took a look at the cardiologist's papers and listened to the story while examining my father. They were patient with him even though he was getting cantankerous. The whole process took 20 to 30 minutes and we were let into the ER. My father was placed in a bed in the hallway. There were lots of beds in the hallway. They looked very busy. A doctor came and examined my father and ordered a chest X-ray and blood tests. The nurse expertly inserted a needle in, drew blood and left a space for the IV to go in the future. My father was not happy about the needle but they were reassuring to him. They gave me a chair and we waited. An X-ray machine came to us and they did a chest x-ray right at the bedside. The doctor came and said that the water was not in his lungs but around. She prescribed some strong intravenous diuretic. When he had to go to the bathroom, he refused to use the urinal so they used this contraption I've never seen before that wheels him to the bathroom and allows him to sit on the toilet. He had to go every 2 hours and was pretty demanding. But they stopped what they were doing to help me get him to the bathroom. They gave me a chair to sit next to him. They asked if I wanted anything. He was admitted but there was no room so we waited. A cardiologist came and patiently explained what was wrong (he has afib) and his options. He's stubborn so a pacemaker was out so the doctor prescribed him a beta blocker. I ask for food for him the first night but it never came which was one of the few complaints I had. I asked several times but I never got any menu for him till the afternoon of the next day. I managed to get him dinner, and breakfast. The food is probably the best hospital food I've seen. It is however tasteless (no salt because of people with high blood pressure. Finally, on Sunday we were discharged and we managed to get lunch before we left. They took care of everything and the process was smooth. Overall it was a good hospital with good people trying to give the patients the best care.

A distracted driver hit my vehicle yesterday in Queens after I was driving home from my birthday party in Greenwich Village. He said that he was looking at his cell phone's GPS when he rear ended me. My auto insurance company implored me to visit an ER within three days even if I am feeling well. I chose St. Francis after reading Yelp friend Frank T's terrific review. This hospital is part of the Catholic Health Services network for which my primary care doctor is a provider, so I did not need to provide staff any information about me. They already had it on file. The triage nurse was skillful and determined that I did not sustain serious injuries. The ER doc thoroughly assessed me and gave me a clean bill of health. ER parking is all the way in the back in designated spaces. I was Blessed to find one. I was also Blessed to visit this ER. I was out in less than one hour.

Less land less star every single time I come here, lol. Today I guess the reception lady has a bad day so she is not nice and welcome at all. Only thing she knows is 'NO' another person, she is nice and the crazy one cursed her out because she is too nice to visitors. Most visitors are patient's family, they always sad and worried. Why the hospital put a mean person to work at the check in desk and make visitors more stressed.

The nurses are AMAZING. I had a tough birth and needed interventions almost every step of the way. However i was always provided a choice, given the option to wait and see. I almost needed a C-section but thanks to the efforts of the labor and delivery team we were able to avoid it! The nurses here truly advocate for their patients and really do care for you. Many times people can feel like just another name on a list but the nurses in L&D truly care about YOU. And shout out to RN Matilda!

She was finally discharged at around 5:30 the following morning with absolutely zero findings, still in pain. They actually asked her to return if she still had pain, but they were discharging her with pain. She was called after almost an hour back to the emergency ward out of the waiting room and placed on a stretcher in the corridor by the nurses station for about 10 hours. Apparently no rooms available, even though there were two empty ones. They didn't check on her or ask her if she needed anything. It took hours between CT scan and ultrasound to get any kind of results. We will never even consider this location for any emergencies in the future and you should not as well. I think there was a major failure in the nursing staff because it's their responsibility to make sure that patients are comfortable and informed. Why my wife was standing, waiting to get her discharge papers with IV still in her arm absolutely unacceptable.

Brenda, I doubt you'll ever see this review, but you truly made the experience special. You were informative, welcoming, and made sure everyone understood exactly what to expect and where to go when the big day arrives. My partner and I were actually the only people on the tour who already had children, while everyone else were first-time moms and dads. It turned into such a nice experience because some of the other parents even came to us with questions or for advice whenever Brenda stepped away for a moment. It created a very supportive atmosphere. During the tour, we got to see the labor and delivery area, as well as the postpartum rooms. We also happened to see a new mom walking through the hallway with her newborn, which was such a sweet and special moment. Another nice touch was seeing the statistics for how many baby boys, baby girls, and twins had been delivered there this year. The tour was extremely informative and really helped ease any confusion about where to go and what to expect on delivery day. The hospital renovations also look great everything feels updated and well maintained.

During my…read moreextreme pain and not much to say about the doctors, the nurses in the 5 West wing of recovery delivered the most exceptional care anyone could ever hope for. Kind, decent and fully understanding of what was needed to comfort all the patients there and most with years of experience, together with the newest nurses on staff, they were exactly the perfect compliments to each other. I wish there was enough room on this site to name them all. I send all my thanks and love.

If you want misery and die alone, then this is the hospital for you! My elderly mother fell and…read morehit her face on the ground, took over an hour for the ambulance to come. If she had a heart attack, she would be already dead. She spent a day and a half on a bed in the ER hallway waiting for a room. I raced down to find out her status, upon finding the ER there were eight other relatives trying to find their loved ones. The security guards stated no more visitors because they were so busy. I told them if they wanted to get paid, I was the only holder of her insurance cards. I was the only one they let in, immediately a nurse gave me hipa forms to sign. Then they shooed me away! I managed to at least speak to my mother and saw she was stable. She also got Covid so they said not to come visit the following days. I tried over the period of the next two days to talk to her on the phone. 18 attempts via switchboard to nurses station and either they routed me to a ghost phone where no one ever picked up, and if they did they told me to call back later, sometimes they just hung up on me! Aside from one call from a PA to tell me about her status, no one called for two more days. Finally a doctor called me and gave me an update. When I finally found her room number after 3 days, I went to see her. She is a fall risk and my mother told me she went to the bathroom by herself. No walker in the room or any supervision. When I went to see her bathroom, there were no paper towels nor was there any toilet paper in the dispenser. Rolls of TP were on top of the dispenser out of reach by the patient. The photo shows the dispensers showing the filth laden surfaces. At discharge, they had not finished all her meds and made me wait in line downstairs at the pharmacy to pay for her remaining meds. To top this experience off, they didn't even order transport of wheelchair for discharge. I had to go downstairs to get one for her. This hospital has a complete system failure. The nurses do not know how to transfer a call from the nurses station to a patients room. If your loved ones ever end up here, you'll be lucky to ever see them because you need a detective to find out where they are. This area is mostly Asian or Indian, their culture is to never complain, otherwise this hospitals' yelp would be below 2.8 stars. Can you imagine if every person that has experienced this hospital all wrote about their experience? This hospital which was the old Booth Memorial in the 80's would be shut down...again! My advice? Dont send your relatives to this hospital unless you hate them.

I had 3 short term visits here that came out well. My last visit was a disaster…read more 1. Triage I showed up at St. Joseph's Hospital on the evening of the 15th of September with a racing heart and shortness of breath. After over 90 minutes, the entire waiting room had been cared for except for me, including an elderly lady who was shaking from marijuana use. I'm not sure what your policies are for who gets priority, but maybe trouble breathing and chest pressure should be up on the priority list. 2. Communication I was asked many questions, which is a good thing, but it seems like most of my answers were ignored or not passed down to the people who needed to know those answers. a. I was asked about my religious beliefs, and I clearly said "none", yet a member of the clergy was sent to my bedside offering spiritual comfort. That may be welcoming to those who find comfort in that, but to an atheist like me, it's an awkward annoyance. b. I was asked if I was diabetic. My answer was borderline and under control. I was then treated like a full-blown diabetic with excessive finger pricks and attempts to administer insulin. I was given high carbs to eat and my metformin medication was withheld. Needless to say, my sugar level spiked dangerously high and that put me in danger of being insulin dependent; the exact thing I was trying desperately to avoid for over a decade. c. I hate being lied to and led along. We only need you to stay one more night. We only need you to stay 1 more hour. We only need one more test result. All lies. 3. Procedures a. I was given a chest x-ray and hours later the doctor wanted to do another. I understand a comparison can be beneficial, but there comes a point where the risks outweigh the benefits. After explaining that I had over 7 x-rays in the past month, I was treated like I was the one being unreasonable to refuse any more. Frequent exams in a short period may result in a higher cumulative radiation dose, which could potentially increase the risk of cancer or other radiation-related health issues. b. Losing track of medication given. After my latest blood work, my potassium level was at 3.2, which is low. I was given 2 large potassium pills. Less than an hour later, the nurse came to give me 2 more. When I explained that I just took two pills, the answers was Yeah, but your levels are low. Yes, they WERE low, but after I took the pills, the levels were unknown and more likely to be OK. Trying to re-medicate based on old data could be dangerous or even life-threatening, since too much potassium is not healthy. c. My blood pressure was taken with a faulty cup. After an unusual very low blood pressure reading, I was given medication to RAISE my blood pressure. Only after my objections, did they bother to try a different cuff, which proved my blood pressure was normal. I shouldn't have to keep track of everything being done to me from a hospital bed. I feel like I had to question everything being done to me, since it felt like everything was just done "robotically" without any critical thinking or questions. 4. Accommodations I know a hospital is not a vacation resort, but basic human dignity and hygiene shouldn't be too much to ask for. a. I was at the hospital for 4 days. In those 4 days, I was in the same underwear, the same hospital gown and no access to a shower or any kind of hygiene material except the soap in the bathroom for hand washing. My gown was soaked with saliva, blood, urine and dirt. b. Sleeping was next to impossible. The patient next to me was coughing and throwing up very loudly and I was woken up for vital signs throughout the night. There needs to be a better way to accommodate patients. Patients need proper sleep, hygiene, reasonable treatment that doesn't cause more harm and food that meets dietary requirements.
