10-6-2009 - STUPID HOSPITAL

My mood while writing this blog: STILLP PISSED

---

SO FOR ALL THE LADIES THAT DIDNT READ MY BLOG FROM MY HORRIBLE SURGERY... I ENDED UP CHANGING MY HOSPITAL HALF WAY DURING MY PREGNANCY TO GO TO MY ORIGINAL DOC I'VE BEEN WITH FOR YEARS. HE'S AN EXCELLENT DOC AND I BELIEVE WITHOUT HIM I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR IN MY PREGNANCY. HOWEVER THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE DELIVERS BABY'S HAS A BAD REP FIRST OFF CUZ ITS IN THE HOOD AND CRACKHEADS ARE ALL DOWN THERE AND THE SERVICE IS WHACK!!

OKAY SO AFTER WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL LAST NIGHT AFTER CONTRACTIONS BEING TO MIN APART WE ARRIVED TO THE HOSPITAL. MY MAN AND I WERE SUPRISED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE TO TRANSPORT ME IN THE WHEELCHAIR GRANITE THAT SOMEONE WAS A JANITOR CLEANING THE FLOORS BUT IT WAS STILL A SHOCK SEEING AS HOW OUR 2 PRIOR VISITS MY MAN HAD TO PUSH ME AROUND HIS SELF. SO THE JANITOR TRANSPORTED ME AND THAT WHEN I REALIZED MY CONTRACTIONS HAD PRETTY MUCH STOPPED!! THE MEDICINE HAD FINALLY KICKED IN AND THEY WERE GROWING APART. SO WE GET TO THE HOSPITAL ROOM IN LABOR AND DELIVERY AND AS SOON AS I WALK IN ONE OF THE NURSES WAS HANDIN ME A CUP TELLIN ME TO USE THE BATHROOM. OK SO I DID. I WALK INTO THE BATHROOM, ITS DRIED UP PEE ON THE TOILET SEE, STUFF ALL ON THE FLOOR LIKE IT HADN'T BEEN SWEPT!! OK SO NOW I SEE THIS HOSPITAL IS DIRTY!! SO I WASNT MAD YET UNTIL THE NURSE WAS TRYING TO TEACH A NEWER NURSE WHAT TO DO IT DIDNT MAKE ME THAT MAD, BUT IM JUST THINKIN, WHAT IF I WAS REALLY HAVIN MY CNTRXNS I CAME IN FOR STILL GOIN ON?? I WOULDNT WANNA DEAL WITH THIS. SO THEY PUT THE MONITORS ON ME TO WATCH BABYS HEARTBEAT AND MY CNTRXS AND THE NURSE CHECKED MY URINE AND SAID GOOD UR NOT DEHYDRATED SO WE WONT HAVE TO GIVE U AN IV. SO FINALLY AFTER THE NURSE STOPPED HER TEACHING LESSON TO THE OTHER NURSE THEY CALLED THE DOC IN. SO THIS LADY WALKS IN AND THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT TO MYSELF IS I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE DOCTOR!! SHE WALKED IN LOOKIN LIKE SHE JUST LEFT THE CLUB!! SHE HAD FAKE EYELASHES ON AND KEPT BLINKIN LIKE SHE COULDN'T SEE WITH THEM ON AND A CRAZY HAIR WEAVE WITH DIFFERENT COLORS!! IM LIKE OH HELL NAW!! SO THAT MADE ME MORE MAD CUZ SHE LOOK SO UNPROFESSIONAL!! SO SHE DECIDED TO CHECK MY CERVIX AND THEY WAY SHE DID IT OPPOSE TO MY REAL DOCTOR IT HURT SO SHE KEPT TELLIN ME TO RELAX AND I COULDNT CUZ IT HURT!! SO AFTER SHE CHECKED IT SHE DID U GET UR SHOT YET?? IM LIKE WHAT SHOT??!! AND SHE SAID I GUESS NOT IMA GET A NURSE AND WALKED OUT THE ROOM!! NOW IM MAD CUZ NOT ONLY DID SHE NOT TELL ME WHAT WAS GOIN ON WITH MY CERVIX AND IF I WAS DIALATED WHICH IS ALL I REALLY NEEDED TO KNOW CUZ I APPARENTLY STOPPED MY CNTRXNS WITH THE TERB PILL, SHE ALSO DID EXPLAIN TO ME ANYTHING ABOUT "THIS SHOT". SO SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE NURSE COMES BACK IN WITH A BASKET OF NEEDLES AND IVS!! SHE COMES TO ME WITH THE SHOT IN HER HAND LIKE WERE GONNA GIVE U THIS AND STARTED GRABBIN MY ARM.... NO!!! UR NOT!! I TOOK MY ARM FROM HER LIKE I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT UR GIVING ME WHY R U TRYING TO GIVE ME A SHOT!!(NOW IM PISSED) SO SHE TELLS ME ITS A TERB SHOT TO STOP MY CONTRACTIONS, HELLO SHE EVEN SAID IT HERSELF MY CNTRXS HAD STOPPED!! THEN I ASKED HER WHY DID SHE BRING AN IV BAG WHEN SHE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD IT WAS THAT I WASNT DEHYDRATED SO I WOULDNT HAVE TO GET FLUIDS, SHE SAID THE DOC WANTED ME TO HAVE IT. SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS BITCH(XCUSE ME) DIDNT TELL ME THAT INSTEAD OF CHECKIN ME AND WALKIN OFF SHE SHOULDA BEEN EXPLAINING TO ME WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND WHAT EVERYTHING IS FOR!!! THATS WHAT DOCTORS DO, SO I THOUGHT OR MAYBE THATS JUST WHAT IM USE TO!! SO THE NURSE LEAVES THE ROOM AND TALKS TO THE DOC ABOUT ME NOT WANTING TO GET IT. THEN THEY HAD THE NERVE TO SEND SOMEBODY IN FROM THE NICU TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULDNT BE TRYING TO HAVE THE BABY AT 30 WEEKS CUZ SHE WOULD HAVE TO GET ALOT OF TUBES AND SHE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT, AND THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A NICU UNIT IN THAT HOSPITAL SO THE WOULD HAVE TO SHIP HER OFF TO GET TREATED AND I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO SEE HER UNTIL THEY RELEASED ME CUZ THERE IS NO DELIVERY ROOM WHERE THEY WOULD BE TAKING HER!! I WANTED TO CUSS ALL OF THEM OUT CUZ I DONT APPRECIATE THEM TELLIN ME WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I DIDNT DO WHAT THE DOC SAID WHEN THE DOC COULDNT EVEN EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT I WAS GETTIN AND WHAT FOR!! THEN THE DOC THAT CHECKED MY CERVIX HAD THE NERVE TO STAND OUTSIDE THE DOOR AND SAY WE DON'T HAVE A 30 WEEK BABY HERE TO SHOW HER?? ITS TOO BAD SHE DOESNT WANNA LISTEN CUZ THE OUTCOME IS SO BAD!! AGGHHH IT TOOK SO MUCH IN ME NOT SAY SOMETHIN TO HER AND ALL OF THEM FOR THAT MATTER! THE NURSE CAME BACK IN AND TOLD ME SINCE I WAS REFUSING I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY REAL DOC GOT THERE WHICH WAS AT 7A 3 HRS AWAY. SO MY MAN TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD GET THE TERB SHOT SO I WOULDNT START CONTRACTING AGAIN SINCE NOW WE WOULD HAVE TO BE THERE TILL 10 CUZ WE HAD AN APPT AT 10A TO GET THE 3D ULTRASOUND DONE. THE NURSE TRIES TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT I WAS ABOUT TO GO INTO LABOR CUZ MY CERVIX WAS REALLY SHORT AND EFFACED 90% SO THAT MEANS 1 MORE PERCCENT AND U'LL BE DIALATING...WOW SOMEBDY DOESNT KNOW THERE MATH!!! THE THING IS I'VE BEEN HAD A SHORT CERVIX FOR 13 WEEKS NOW AND IVE BEEN EFFACED FOR 6 SO THIS IS NOTHING NEW AND I HAVE YET TO GO INTO LABOR. SO AFTER FLINT KEPT TALKING TO ME I LET THEM GIVE ME THE SHOT WHICH MEANT THAT NOW I HAD A DBL DOSE OF TERB IN ME AND I STARTED TO FEEL SICK SHAKY AND WEAK. THEN HE TOLD ME TO GO AHEAD AND GET THE IV SO I COULD KEEP FLUIDS IN ME EVEN THOUGH I WASNT DEHYDRATED AND I WAS DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER. SO THE NURSE STARTS TRYIN TO GIVE ME THE IV AND THEN GOT IT IN A LITTLE AND COULDNT GET THE REST OF THE NEEDLE IN, SO SHE STOPPED TOLD ME NOT TO MOVE AND SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO GET ONE OF HER COWORKERS. THE COWORKER CAME IN AND SAID "IM JUST WATCHIN" SO AS THIS IS HAPPENING IM REALLY WEAK AND MOANING GETTIN READY TO THROW UP AND THE NURSE "JUST WATCHING" DECIDES SHE WANTS TO START ASKIN ME RANDOM QUESTIONS!! I WAS SO MAD SHE WAS TALKING TO ME I JUST IGNORED HER!! SO THE NURSE FINALLY GOT THE WHOLE NEEDLE IN AND SAYS "SEE I TOLD U IT WOULD B OK AND I WOULDNT HURT U" SHE SPOKE TO SOON CUZ NONE OF THE FLUIDS WERE GETTIN IN AND SHE HAD TO TAKE THE NEEDLE OUT!! THAT WAS IT SHE WASNT STICKIN ME ANYMORE LIKE I TOLD HER SO NO IV FOR ME. THEN THE NURSE STARTS TO MENTION THE TERB PUMP SO I TOLD HER TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT WAS AND SHE SAID "HMMM HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT???" LIKE SHE DIDNT REALLY KNOW SHE KNEW THEY WOULD STICK ME WITH A NEEDLE IN MY THIGH AND THAT WAS IT! SO SINCE IT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION ANYWAY I TOLD HER I DIDNT WANT IT. SO IN THE MEANTIME MY MAN (FLINT) IS SITTING IN A HARD UNCOMF CHAIR WHERE AS AT THE LAST HOSPITAL THEY HAD PULLOUT CHAIRS OR WHAT NOT SO I WAS UNHAPPY THAT HE WAS UNCOMF AND HE HAD TO GO TO WORK LATER THAT DAY AND NEEDED SOME SLEEP THAT REALLY MADE ME MAD. SO I TOLD HIM TO GO LAY ON THE OTHER BED THAT WAS RIGHT ACROSS FROM ME. AT THIS POINT MAYBE HE SHOULDNT HAVE BUT I WAS PISSED AT THE HOSPITAL AND COULD CARE LESS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER THE NURSE CAME IN TALKING ABOUT THE TERB PUMP AGAIN SAYIN THAT IT WAS A REFFERAL FROM THE DOC SO WHATS MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUM CUZ ALL SHE HAD WAS THE LAST FOUR DIGITS... UUGGGHH NO I DONT THINK SO! I ALREADY SAID I DIDNT WANT IT SO I DONT WANT IT. SHE SAYS OH OK AND WALKS OUT. AN HOUR LATER SHE COMES BACK IN ABOUT 7A AND TELLS FLINT HE HAS TO GET OFF THE BED HER SHIFT IS ABOUT DONE AND THEIR GONNA BRING IN NEW PATIENTS. SO I ASKED HER WELL CANT HE STAY THERE SINCE NOW UR GONNA HAVE TO CLEAN THE BED ANYWAY?? SHE SAYS OH YEAH I DO HAVE TO CLEAN THE BED...BUT GUESS WHAT!! SHE NEVER DID!! SO HE HAS ON HIS WORK CLOTHES AT THAT ON THIS BED AND THEY DIDNT EVEN CHANGE THE SHEETS WOW DIRTY ASS HOSPITAL!! SO I TOLD HIM TO GET BACK UP THERE WHEN EIGHT ROLLED AROUND AND SHE NEVER CAME BACK. SO MY MIDWIFE COMES IN AND CHECKS MY CERVIX AND TELLS ME THAT IM NOT DIALATING AND I CAN GO HOME!! WOW I COULDA DONE THAT 4 HRS AGO WHEN I ORIGINALLY STOPPED CNTRACTING. AT THIS POINT ITS 8 ITS ALMOST TIME FOR MY DOC APPT SO SHE SAID SHE WOULD SEND ME BREAKFAST. GREAT CUZ IM STARVING!! SO AT 8:30A I HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND I PRESSED THE BUTTON AND ASKED THEM TO SEND IN A NURSE CUZ I WAS STILL HOOKED TO THE MONITOR. AFTER 10 MIN OF WAITING FOR A NURSE I UNHOOKED MYSELF AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND THEN STOOD OUTSIDE AND WATCHED AS ALL THE DOCS AND NURSES WERE STANDIN AROUND LAUGHIN!! SO I GET ONE OF THEM AND ASK HER ABOUT ORDERING MY FOOD AND SHE SAID IMA ORDER IT NOW U CAN GET DRESSED AND LEAVE IF U WANT OR WE'LL BRING THE FOOD UP, WHY DIDNT SOMEBODY SAY THAT ALONG TIME AGO?? SO 9 ROLLS AROUND AND I ASK A LADY ABOUT THE STATUS ON MY FOOD SHE TELLS ME IMA CHECK, 15 MIN LATER AS I GO TO FIND HER SHE TELLS ME IT'LL BE HER SOON. AT THIS POINT IM IN A RUSH CUZ MY APPT IS A 10 BUT I STILL HAVE TO GO DOWN TO REGISTRY AND REREGISTER AND I ALREADY KNOW ITS PACKED!! SO MY FOOD COMES AT 9:25 EGGS 3 PIECES OF BACON, 2 PIECES OF BREAD ORANGE JUICE, MILK, COFFEE(THOUGHT PREG WOMEN WEREN'T SUPPOSE TO HAVE CAFFINE) CREAM OF WHEAT AND 3 SUGAR PACKETS. THE EGGS TASTED LIKE CARDBOARD!! BUT I WAS STARVING SO I HAD TO MAKE DUE AND PUT IT IN THE BREAD AND MAKE A BACON AND EGG SANDWICH, CREAM OF WHEAT OBVIOUSLY ISNT THE SAME THING AS GRITS AND THE WERE DISGUSTING, THE SUGAR HAD SALT IN IT!! IT WAS TERRIBLE. SO I GO TO THE FRONT DESK AND ASK THEM TO SEND UP A WHEEL CHAIR AND THEY ASK IF IM DISCHARGED AND I SAY YES THEY ASK IF I GOT MY INSTRUCTIONS AND I SAY I GUESS I DONT HAVE NONE CUZ THE TOLD ME I CAN GO. SO SHE CALLS A NURSE TO MY ROOM AND SHE BROUGHT ME A PAPER AND TOLD ME NOT TO CANCEL MY NEXT APPT, I NEVER CANCEL MY APPTS SO SHE DIDNT HAVE TO SAY IT THREE TIMES! SO I TELL HER TO PLEASE CALL TRANSPORT SO THEY COULD COME GET ME. SO AFTER TEN MIN OF WAITING I DECIDE F IT IMA GO GET A CHAIR OUT THE HALLWAY AND HAVE FLINT PUSH ME!! SO I GET OUT THERE AND THEN I HERE PPL SAY THERE SHE IS, SO APPARENTLY THE TRANSPORT LADY WAS UP THERE TALKIN HER ASS OFF WHEN MIND U LIKE I SAID I HAD TO GO REGISTER SO I COULD BE AT MY APPT. SO SHE TAKES US AND JUST LIKE I TOLD U IT WAS PACKED!! THANKFULLY WE GOT OUT IN ENOUGH TIME FOR THE APP. I THEN HAD THEM CALL TRANSPORT TO TAKE ME TO THE APPT AND THERE WE WAITED A HALF AN HOUR PAST MY 10A APPT. MY DOC SPECIFICALLY SAID I WANT U IN AND OUT HOWEVER THEY DIDNT HAVE THAT DOWN. GREAT. SO FINALLY I GET SEEN AND THIS TIME I MADE SURE MY BLADDER WAS FULL CUZ I DIDNT WANNA HEAR NOTHING ABOUT HE CANT SEE HER SO I HAD TO PEE BAAAAAD!! SO HE FINALLY CHECKS ME LETS ME SEE HER FOR 2 MIN THATS IT!! HE GAVE ME 2 PICS I WAS SO MAD!! UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WOULD LET ME WATCH HER FOR LIKE 45 MIN AND PRINT OFF LAST TIME 17 PICS!! ANYWAY IM JUST GLAD SHES OKAY AND IM FINALLY OUT THAT DIRTY ASS HOSPITAL!! BUT I CANT DELIVER THERE!! I DONT EVER WANNA GO THERE AGAIN!! SO IM GONNA TALK TO MY DOC ON TUES AND LET HIM KNOW. SO I HOPE THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION OR UNFORTUNATLY IMA HAVE TO FIND A NEW DOC.

Are you serious!!! What's the name of that hospital so I would know to avoid it if I ever came your way!!! Lol. I couldn't go through with that! I wouldve been raising hell up in there! And as far as the nurse trying to stick needles in you and not telling you what they are- she wouldve gotten cussed out. The toilet having pee on it, they wouldve gotten cussed out! Oh, and that nurse trying to be funny about having your baby at 30 weeks... She wouldve definitely got her feelings hurt! My little sister had her baby at 32 weeks, she was a premie, but a healthy nine month old. You shouldve told that lady just because they don't have the experience doesn't mean no one else doesn't. And, she make that dumb ass comment about do they have a premature baby there to show you...how the hell would they have a premie there if they don't have a NICU unit there to treat premie babies anyway? I'm mad- excuse my language! Girl, I am sorry you had to go through that! And you are getting so close to the end of your pregnancy to be having to go through all of that mess. I'm sorry-

Why the heck have they got you going to a hospital without a NICU if you go into preterm labor? Even though my ob's hospital doesn't have a NICU, they still tell me go to the hospital that does if I'm early. Please do not go to that hospital again. You can go to a dif hospital and see a dif doc just for those emergency visits but have your reg ob as a consulting physician. If you ever go into a hospital and the room is not clean, particularly if there is pee on the floor then walk out. If the nurse does not know what she is doing, tell her to leave and get a different one. If the doc looks like they've been to a club, threaten to call administration. You can refuse treatment anytime, it's a legal right. Girl... you're gonna have a story to tell your daughter when she gets older

WOW!!! Girl that experience sound like a movie! I mean Damn!! You'll be crazy as hell to deliver at that hospital! I would've acted a straight fool up there if that was me!! That hospital is waaaaayyyy tooooo GHETTO!! I wouldn't have stayed there as long as you did! Prob. would've cussed them out and walked out and went to another hospital!! Cause they were doing the most!! Glad everything turned out fine for you and the lil one!

girl I am pissed for you!! I sat here and read the whole thing because it was so interesting. you are not over acting for being mad I would have been cussing those people out, what kind of hospital doesn't have a name NICU?? and how are they going to train somebody while you going through everything. That's a real triflin hospital and you need to changed ASAP even if you have to leave that doctor because your child safety is first priority!!
