text: Do not go therenI had my surgery a few months ago It was a horrible experience for me and because of their mistakes I had to not only take more time to heal I lost my job The guy who was to help me out of bed and get me to walk pulled my gown so hard and tight that he pulled my drainage tube out the day aftery surgeryhe was non apologetic he just did not careand the nurse that came after our walk was in shock as to what he had done She ran to get the head nurse because I bled all over my bedthe fear was that there may be an infection because of what he had done It caused me to ruin my furniture when I got home because I would not stop bleedingdraining My bed and coutch were ruined While I was at the hospital When I needed a nurse I would push the buttonbut rarely did they come when I called I learned that if I crawled out of bed to the bathroom there was an emergency button there that I could push and they would come running The nurses are overworked and hostilethe environment is non caringI was treated as if I was an inconvenience I was not treated as a person who just had MAJOR surgery I was treated as if I was a day stay at a cheap hotel The cleaning staff went through my things when they thought I was asleep they even sat and watched TV The nurse who took me off my drip forgot to put me in manually for my pain medicine every few hours by that afternoon I was in sooooo much pain The head nurse and the AM nurse argued in my room over this My surgery was lumbar fusion so I was cut on the front and back sides of meit was painful to say the least I got my morning pain medicine at am and got my next dose manually that evening it was horrible Let Us talk about food When laying in a bed if there is a tray put on the rolling tray holder you cannot see it Some Blonde with a major attitude the st morning after my surgery walked into my room and and quipped Oh not hungry or are we just on a fat loss regime today I was not at all happy with her comments st of all I did not even know food was up there no one told me food had arrivedbecause of my oxygen tube I could not smell She had no right to make a rude comment which made me feel Fatter than I already am later that afternoon more food came she just dropped it on the rolling tray holder then pushed it away against the wall while she straightened upthen left I pushed the nurses button for over an hour finally when they arrived the nurse brought over the tray COLD mush is NOT an optionCOLD coffeeno offer to get fresh foodI ended up not eaying till days after my surgeryThe STAFF does NOT care I wrote a detailed letter to the CEO Head Nurse and the hospital administrator after I got home The CEO responded back to me a few weeks later apologizing and saying he will make sure there is more training for the nurses and staff That is it Never offering to replace my furniture or asking me what the hospital could do to make things better for me nNow a few months later I am healing but I have no job to look forward to returning to because my FMLA ended too soon for me I spent over for new furniture Both of these things would not have been an issue had the staff been attentive and not reckless I have heard from many people that they also had bad experiences at Valley Hospital I wish I would have known this beforehand I would have chosen another hospital to care for me After allit is about a healthy lifenpsthere was an intern there who was very sweet and even ran to the cafeteria to get me a cold diet cokeshe mentioned that she may quit soon because she did not want to become a hostile nurse like the ones who had been caring for me She was very afraid and I wish her the best in her decision
