Catharina Ziekenhuis

This is the worst hospital experience i ever had in my life. The surgeon did their best jobs to do what they need to do to save people life. But The one that ran around the hospital thinking that they are so great give the hospital the bad name, reputation and cold hearted treatment that they can give to human. I have transferred to this hospital for 4 bypass surgery. Everything was great up to the point that surgeon helped me without a doubt, the experience after that is like living hell in the place that you should think it should be a safe place for sick people. It is a big hospitals and I try to understand that general doctors and nurses deal with very sick people or bypass surgery everyday but they should have a second thought that all these patients don’t have bypass surgery experience like a pro. They expect patients to know drills that they do everyday. I woke up from surgery in CCU for couple hours and being transferred to normal room expect to stand up, clean myself, and understand all the drills. When i need helped, the promise was there but the nurses disappeared. I fell so unwelcome. After being treat so badly many times after the forth days of operation. One lady young doctor walked into my room and said i should discharge and go home. No need to go back to home hospital that they sent me in for surgery at the first place. I sometimes wonder how these people would ever try to see from the other persons perspectives. Or even remembering why they want to be a doctor or a nurse at the first place. Why they leave their kind hearted behind because they think they work in one of the best heart hospitals in NL. I would give 5 stars for the surgeon but for the rest I wish I could give None.

Very modern and roomy hospital. Friendly reception. Nurses seem very patient and service minded. Overall an excellent experience and as far as I can tell from this visit, a great hospital.

Hospital with high standard and service. Nothing but positive comments for personep who is working here. I highly recommend it. Only down side is lack of parking space in peak days. Really hard top find place. Location of hospital is really good. In green area of Eindhoven with good connections and roads towards centre and highway.

I always thought of hospitals as a place of hope, a place where the sickly can have a second chance. This is certainly not true in this place, where the nurse scolded me 3 times (yes, 3 times, before even asking what I had) for not going to my house doctor. I bet they learn a different kind of medical science in the Netherlands, because apparently I had a "closed infection" which might not get worse! Oh, and the nurse suggested that if I had a fever I should just get my bike and ride to the hospital, in the pleasant dutch weather! That was actually better than to hear from a doctor that, although I had an infection (a closed one, very important) it was not bad enough to give me medication. And then she scolded me more for wasting their time! 50 euros, learned several medical "facts", got scolded about 5 times and didnt get any medicine... I wish they were killing me with kindness, instead they were just ripping me off while being really rude!

hospitals usually aren't places you would like to visit. But when i had to i had a wonderful time. even though I was ill I had nothing to complain. great care was given by the nice staff. the aftercare also was very nice.
